We followed the wings with a taco trio. The menu features 7 different types of tacos, we decided on three. The first was the chicken tender tacos ($13). Our comment: “everything is better with bacon.� Each taco contains a generous portion of fried chicken that is not overly battered and is very flavorful with a bit of ranch dressing to keep it from being dried out. Our second choice was the blackened chicken fajita taco ($13) served smothered in onions and peppers and topped with a

cilantro lime mayo that is outstanding. Just like fajitas except no hot plate! Our final taco choice was the MYM classic taco ($12). This one contains spicy ground beef mixture is tasty. It is a good taco that will definitely satisfy your Mexican food craving way better than Taco Bell and they are open till midnight on the weekend so stop in for a late night bite! The tacos are served with refried beans topped with melted cheese and a side of steamed rice. I know it seems hard to believe but we still had entrees coming! We decided to split the blackened prime rib sandwich ($15) and the chicken piccata ($16) The prime rib steak was cooked perfectly and was very tender. It is served mixed greens on top with versatile garlic mayo (it was on the top and the bottom). The sandwich is accompanied by a side of sweet potato fries which are served with a yummy marshmallow dipping sauce- it

was like dinner and dessert on the same plate. In a word, outstanding. The dipping sauce was like a thick viscous crispy cream doughnut melted into a ramekin. The chicken piccata is a thick chicken breast, lightly dredged through flour, fried, then topped with a creamy lemon butter sauce and lots of tart capers. The dish is served with side of rice and roasted Brussels sprouts. For dessert, (can you believe we still had room for dessert?) we had Key lime pie ($7) served up with a side of whipped cream. This tart cheese cake style key lime pie was the perfect way to finish off a truly delicious meal. For those who don't love key lime pie but who still want dessert, they offer a warm brownie with ice cream ($7). Mind Your Manors is owner Robert DeCampo's first restaurant, but he comes from a restaurant family, his grandparents owned seafood restaurants on Maryland's Eastern shore. The South Florida native remembers visiting them during the summer and catching crabs off of their dock. You will find several dishes that pay homage to his childhood near the Chesapeake Bay. The soft shell crab sandwich ($20) has rave reviews from guests who travel from Weston and Miami to get a taste of this delicacy, you will be hard pressed to find another one anywhere in Wilton Manors or even Fort Lauderdale. Just thinking of the old bay seasoning and crispy battered soft shell crab, has this old eastern shore boy's mouth watering for a taste of home. Mind Your Manors is open daily at noon. As I mentioned earlier, they are open till midnight on Friday and Saturday and close at 10pm the rest of the week. They have drink specials every day as well as $2 tacos on Tuesday. Stop in for lunch or dinner, you won't be disappointed. And tell

them Hotspots sent ya!
