I\u2019m so far behind on posts! We\u2019ve been doing a lot of eating since the Boston trip. Here\u2019s the last entry in the Boston series! It\u2019s an extra tasty one, too.<\/p>\n

Sunset Cantina<\/strong>
\nOn the morning of BU\u2019s commencement, we saw a huge crowd outside Sunset Cantina. Made a mental note to avoid this place and wandered along Commonwealth Avenue. When we walked by Sunset Cantina a second time, the crowd was gone. What?! Turns out that this place opens at 11am, and the crowd was just waiting for them to open. We decided to brunch here once we realized there\u2019s plenty of space for the crowd and then some! Fun interior with a great vibe. I bet this would be a great spot to hang out on Friday\/Saturday evenings. \"Sunset<\/a>My sister has referred to Sunset Cantina as \u201cthe place with the huge nachos and margaritas\u201d on many occasions. It was so hard to decide on what to order. \"Sunset<\/a>Dad\u2019s Veggie Quesadilla ($11.99) had\u00a0roasted red peppers, eggplant, spinach, zucchini, black bean corn salsa, tomatoes and monterey jack cheese in a colored tortilla. I forgot to take a photo. My sister got the \u201cBig Easy\u201d Cajun Melt ($8.99). Grilled cajun chicken breast topped with pepper jack cheese, lettuce and tomatoes on a toasted roll. Curly fries!\""Big<\/a>John got the South of the Border Fiesta Nachos. Brave, brave man\u2026 he originally wanted the full nachos ($10.99), but after some convincing from my sister and the waitress, he went with the half size ($8.99). Yes, this photo below\u2026 \"South<\/a>\u2026 that\u2019s the half portion of the nachos. Impressive. It ended up being plenty of food for John. That\u2019s a lot of guacamole and sour cream. Super piggly wiggly.<\/p>\n

I ended up getting the BBQ Pulled Pork Quesadilla ($12.99?). Tender pork slathered with BBQ sauce topped with melted cheddar cheese and red onion in a red chili. The BBQ pulled pork was just amazing. Tender, juicy, packed with tangy BBQ flavors. Slathered is the most accurate way to describe it. \"BBQ<\/a><\/p>\n

\"BBQ<\/a>Sunset Cantina sure knows how to make quesadillas. Big portions, too. Enough for 2 meals! We were heading back to NYC right after commencement, and I was kinda bummed that I had to leave the leftovers in my sister\u2019s fridge!<\/p>\n

Service was excellent. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. I can imagine service being a little slower when they\u2019re more crowded though. Their menu says that they accept gold bars as payment. Hah! \"Sunset<\/a>We were very tempted by the margaritas and beers, but I\u2019m glad we didn\u2019t get any drinks as we spent the next couple hours outdoors, baking in the sun with no water. Sunburnt and dehydrated. I want to go back to Sunset Cantina! So tasty! I want margaritas, too! Why aren\u2019t there places like this in NYC?!<\/p>\n
