(Edited to add: Don’t forget that today’s the last day you can buy $25 gift certificates on sale for $5, or $10 for $1.50, and get a bonus $10 certificate free, redeemable at some of Memphis’ most well-known restaurants – Big Foot, Stella, Cafe Ole, Blue Plate Cafe, McEwen’s, Bhan Thai, Dan McGuinness downtown, and over 60 more. Here’s the link:<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: The main subject of today’s post, The Happy Mexican, is NOT on the list of restaurants accepting these certificates.<\/p>\n

Edited again to add: Just noticed that the original Gus’s Fried Chicken, in Oakland, TN, accepts these certificates. Didn’t see the downtown one on the list though.)<\/span><\/p>\n

A couple of months ago I reported on a rumor that I had heard, that Las Margaritas in the Artisan Hotel in Midtown was looking to take over The Happy Mexican, the Mexican restaurant at 385 South Second, a few blocks south of Beale.<\/p>\n

Well, as I flipped through the Memphis Flyer today I found an ad for the Happy Mexican, and at the top it read, “Your amigos at Las Margaritas have now moved to The Happy Mexican – new menu!” So it looks like the rumor was true. The ad also listed their specials, a very impressive list. Here’s what they’ve got going on:<\/p>\n

On Mondays, 2-for-1 small lime margaritas<\/li>\n

On Tuesdays, 2-for-1 domestic bottles<\/li>\n

On Wednesdays, 2-for-1 import bottles<\/li>\n

On Thursdays, 2-for-1 pitchers<\/li>\n

On Fridays, jumbo Top Shelf margaritas for $7.99<\/li>\n

On Saturdays, Ultimate and Presidente jumbo margaritas for $7.99<\/li>\n

Lime margarita happy hour 3-7 PM Tuesday-Sunday<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Those are the specials, but you should still grab a print copy of the Flyer and look for the ad (page 12 of the special dining section in the middle), because there’s a coupon for a free appetizer with the purchase of two entrees.<\/p>\n
The dining section also has a coupon for a free appetizer (looks like there are no strings attached) for Cafe Toscana out east on page 13. And on page 11 they have a picture of the “Shirley Burger” at the Lamplighter in Midtown, and it looks like Shirley makes a fine burger indeed. In all the years I’ve been in Memphis I’ve never been to the Lamplighter – guess I’ll have to add it to my growing to-do list of places to eat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
