North Elm between Fisher Park and downtown just got a little livelier with the opening of Blu Margarita. They filled the space that Ganache vacated, trying to utilize the circular room similarly with a bakery, restaurant, and bar. The interior, featured above, is bursting with color and warmth. We enjoyed the sampler plate that had two small kebobs, two empanadas, three quesadilla slivers, a few chunks of chorzo and some interesting sauces. Next time, we’ll order a side of rice to soak up the great flavors of the sampler.

Not long after we took the photo, tables filled. The multiple big screen TV’s all featured Jorge Ramos y su Banda, the bartenders got busy and the place was a hub of activity.  If you get a chance, go see for yourself. Besides, it is the neighborly thing to do, visiting new establishments in town.  GDP usually only feature sone photo a day, but had to sneak in a photo of the exterior (below) which looks like a little Mexican resort against the cold, January night sky. We’re wondering if Blu Margarita is serving rosca de reyes today. Three Kings cake is a Mexican tradition on this, January 6th- Epiphany. If we were in Mexico, most of us would not be at work. As for Greensboro, time to clock in!
