Chevy's Fresh Mex, Arlington, Va. (Pentagon City)

My second mall meal this week was last night, when Robert and I went to Pentagon City, stopping off first to eat at Chevy's Fresh Mex.

Robert got the "Chevy's Super Cinco," an enormous platter of food that included a beef enchilada, chicken enchilada, pork tamale, beef taco, and cheese chile relleno. It's so much food, the chile relleno has to come on the side on its own plate. He also ordered (by accident) a small side of guacamole.

I had the Santa Fe chopped salad with chicken for dinner, and tried the waiter's recommended dressing, a vinaigrette made out of Chevy's salsa.

Using an oversized, heavy, margarita glass as a serving dish, they took vanilla ice cream balls and rolled them in toasted coconut, then drenched the ice cream in chocolate and caramel sauces and smothered in all in clouds of whipped cream. Then, they took little cinnamon cookies cut in the shape of saguaro cacti and inserted them in the top of the glass. It all looked very cute!
