The next time you're in the mood for a pizza, why not go for the alternative and order a quesadilla instead?
Nestled on Greenville Avenue next door to Café Brazil is Quesa D-Ya's, a one-of-a-kind restaurant, which features everyone's favorite Mexican treat. The restaurant, which is small by stature but huge by taste, has a two-fold menu system. There are a variety of quesadillas, created to fit whatever a customer is craving. There is a Seafood D-Ya featuring fresh tortillas filled with sautéed shrimp, crab, cream cheese, basil, spinach, zucchini, tomatoes and mozzarella cheese.
A Bruschetta D-Ya, which combines fresh tortillas, grilled chicken, roma tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, a balsamic glaze and mozzarella cheese, fills those in search of Italian delights. The most popular item on the menu is the Smokey Mountain D-Ya, which gives customers a choice of either chicken or pulled pork, bbq sauce, rice, bacon, ham, caramelized onions and a smokey cheese blend.
I tried the Smokey Mountain and it definitely tasted amazing and leaves you wanting more. My friend had the Veggie D-Ya, which has black beans, fajita peppers and onions, corn salsa, fresh pico de gallo and a three-cheese blend. We both agreed that the Smokey Mountain was the best out of the two.
D-Ya's customers should try any of the delicious dipping sauces, which come in four flavors. I highly recommend the Jalapeno Ranch sauce, which is sure to delight one's palette.Costs vary depending on what size is ordered. The individual costs $7, the medium feeds 2-4 people and costs $12, and the large feeds 3-5 and costs $15.Customers also have the choice to build their own D-Ya. There is no limit on the amount of ingredients one can include, and the cost is based on size.
For those not in the mood for a D-Ya there is a large grilled burrito bowl, a field green salad and a low-carb bowl to satisfy their hunger. There are also extra's such as queso, guacamole, desserts and drinks to go with each meal. Free chips and fire-roasted salsa are included with every order. D-Ya's uses fresh ingredients produced by local growers in all of their tortillas.
