Szechuan Restaurant

We are really into trying new restaurants lately.  We love Chinese food, so we looked for a Santa Barbara restaurant we hadn't tried yet.  We decided to try out Szechuan restaurant on the Mesa.

The sesame chicken was amazing!  The sauce was delicious and the chicken was a very high quality!

I loved the sweet and sour fish.  My mom said the sauce was too mild but I didn't notice that.

They give you fried wonton strips with sweet and sour while you wait for your dinner!

The egg foo young was really yummy.  The sauce was amazing!

The fried rice was delicious...but cost us $6!!!!!  Be careful about this one.  They asked if everyone wanted fried rice and when we said yes, they charged us $1 per person plus another $3 because we only ordered three entrees.  This was definitely the only bad part of the meal.

I would definitely recommend this restaurant to people because of the delicious food.  Just be careful about the rice LOL

Santa Barbara Axxess Blogging...Year 3 #2

I was super excited the other night to use my Axxess card at Killer B's BBQ & Bar.  They are newish and I love new places!  That is two times so far this year that I have used my Axxess card!  And then I forgot to take pictures.  So...please forgive me!  The deal there is Buy 1 Entree, Get 1 Free.  We also went during happy hour and got a 1/2 off appetizer!  But with Axxess...we saved about $10!  They also offer 15% off after your first use!

I was really excited to try their fried mac and cheese puffs appetizer.  You get 6 little mac & cheese balls with yummy dipping sauce!  And it was only $2.49 because of happy hour!

My dad ordered a bbq brisket sandwich for dinner.  It came with coleslaw in the sandwich and a side of onion rings.  He ate half his sandwich and loved it.  My mom ate the other half for lunch the next day and also loved it!

I ordered a smoked turkey sandwich (yes I order this a lot!).  It came piled high with turkey and included avocado.  Yum!

My mom wants to go back and try this place "fresh" so we will definitely be going back.

I want to be clear that I bought the Axxess Book on my own and went to the restaurant on my own.  I received nothing from any mentioned company.
