PERRITOS CALIENTES EN CUSTER >>>

No longer exiled to the kid's menu, frankfurters are becoming the stars of the show at an increasing number of places around the South Sound ... including the recently opened Maria Bonita in Lakewood. The Mexican restaurant just opened in the spot formerly occupied by El Guadalajara. I did't notice any significant changes to the interior and exterior. And the menu is still in development. Currently, a dozen or so traditional Mexican dishes - typically served by chain restaurants - grace the menu. However, one of the dishes caught my eye - Mexican Hotdogs. Plated with rice and beans, two TURKEY dogs - plump and juicy - are topped with diced tomato and onion, cilantro and avocado slices. Tasty!

How are the other entrees at Maria Bonita?
