As LEAP Ambassadors we have been on a mission to get to know Huntsville better and have expanded our knowledge by visiting its various businesses and attractions. This month we decided to tackle the one aspect of Huntsville we hadn’t really explored; it’s delicious food. Therefore Olivia, Jessica, Cinthia, Allie and I set forth on a mission to find a delicious restaurant for lunch: Sandra’s Kitchen!
Sandra’s Kitchen definitely surpassed all of our expectations with its delicious Mexican cuisine. Located on 12th Street, Sandra’s Kitchen has proved to be very popular amongst the Huntsville community with its colorful decor, wonderful food, and amiable staff.
As soon as we walked in the door we were greeted with warm welcomes and smiles from all the staff. We were quickly seated and presented with baskets of warm chips and salsa which were gone in a matter of minutes. After reading their delicious menu for a couple of minutes we all finally decided on our main entrees for the afternoon. Jessica and Olivia both had the quesabirria tacos with a side of delicious beans consome for dipping. Allie had the chicken quesadilla and Cinthia the classic fajita burrito. I opted for another classic, the 3 fajita tacos platter, served with a side of beans and rice.
It is safe to say we all enjoyed our meals judging by all the empty plates at the table. We were all extremely satisfied and pleased with our service. This little restaurant proved to have big character and most importantly delicious food! This place is perfect for a nice hot freshly cooked meal that can sometimes be hard to obtain as college students. Its cuisine reminded me a lot of home and its aura is simply spectacular. Sandra’s Kitchen is the perfect place to see some of the delicious and diverse cuisines in Huntsville!
