The Saint
1416 E. Olive Way
Happy Hour 5-7 on Weekdays
Weekend Brunch

Some brohams and I checked out The Saint before the huge Bobcats game tonight. (Go Bobcats!) I was surprised to only find about 5 entrees on the menu (Enchiladas, Tacos, Mole Chicken, Pork served on a banana leaf, and Carne Asada), but the 80 tequilas more than made up for this. And we unexpectedly arrived during happy hour. From 5-7 pm all food is half off. What?! I said, all food is HALF OFF from 5-7! This includes full entrees.

We started by attempting to ordering $2 Tecates (my Guam fake ID was denied) and chips and salsa ($2.75 happy hour price) from our bro-tastic waiter. Warm chips served with fresh guac, smokey red salsa, salsa verde, and a tight pico de gallo. If you’re having any trouble visualizing this in your head, please see the picture below.

I ordered the chicken enchiladas which are normally $10 but the happy hour price was $5. Shiiiit, I can’t even get a Zesty Chicken Border Bowl at Taco Bell for this price after a Bobcats game. The chicken looked to be simmered in an oniony green sauce and wrapped in corn tortillas. The tortillas are then covered with a mild mole sauce, pleasant white cheese (maybe cojita?), more onions, tomatoes and cilantro. Incredible. Especially for someone who isn’t typically enamoured by the mole. (Except for this one time at a Bobcats game, we freestyled a giant gatorade container full of mole sauce instead of gatorade and dumped it over the coach’s head after we beat the Indians 88-65. That was fuckin’ awesome. BobCATS!!!)

$5!

So there is no question that I will be back to try the other 4 menu items. Usually after Bobcats games we order 30 Pizza Hut P’Zones, but I’m gonna try to talk the team into The Saint next time.
