Grub Crawl - New Smyrna Beach: Mi Mexico and Chase's On The Beach

I grabbed dinner to go at the first place and a beer at the second on Friday.

Mi Mexico - The main reason I'm telling you about this place (and why I went) is the beach across from it. It's nice. They have a tiny parking area on the sea side and a large one across the road. Both are free. The beach there doesn't allow cars and the width of the beach is large. I think this is the best free location in NSB. Keep right on S. Atlantic Ave. Just past the last strip mall. Back to the restaurant. They have been there for twenty years. It has an apricot color scheme with appropriate decorations. I would replace some of the stained ceiling tiles. I had a chicken burrito for $5. It was good. The cheese they covered it with was rank though. Tasted like store brand, white American. They put onions and green peppers in the burrito. The chips they added were really fresh and good and plentiful. Almost worth $5 on their own. They have a big, traditional menu. Some unusual things too. It seats about fifty.

Chase's - This is a bar a little bit closer to town on the beach side. It has a pool. It looks like what you think a Spring Break spot looks like. The food was ridiculously expensive and cliche. Just rudimentary beer and booze. Parking is next to impossible. They have a tiny valet area and the free parking is limited to about ten spaces. Could be fun. I just don't get how they manage the parking. People must have to risk a tow every time.
