A special Grab a Pair section on the menu includes your choice of one of four entrees, which will include a soup or salad, for only $12. The fish tacos are among the four choices there. You'll also find a Lunch Daily Dish each weekday.

| Fish Tacos, with tortilla chips and Roasted Corn Bisque, $12 |
If you were to order the fish tacos under the $12 section, they would arrive at the table as mine did above, with soup in this case. Tortilla chips complete the platter, and I ordered the Roasted Corn Bisque. I am a soup person, and the bisque passed my test, with plenty of fresh corn flavor and topped off with tortilla strips and crema. The blackened and seared redfish in the tacos could stand on its own, but the jicama tucked into the taco shells really makes this dish stand out with a unique flavor. They also get a drizzle of crema on top, and a serrano pepper dipping sauce.

| Asian Street Tacos |
Similarly, the BBQ pork in the Asian Street Tacos is good enough by itself, but gets a tender crunch from the daikon pickle, carrot, and cucumber on top, and spice cilantro and chiles hidden inside. If that's not enough, dip them in the hoisin sauce included on the side.

| Chicken Avocado Wrap with housemade potato chips |
A chicken avocado wrap was bursting with chunks of white meat grilled chicken, crisp bacon, ripe tomatoes, and layers of crunchy, fresh lettuce. On the side were crispy, thick-cut housemade potato chips.
The Lollipop Chicken Wings are French drumette-style wings with juicy meat, drenched in a thick coating of Buffalo sauce. Cool them down with a dip in the included avocado ranch dressing.
For starters at lunch, you might want to try these tortilla chips with zesty guacamole that only gets made when you order it.
And for the last course, how about a Butterscotch Pudding Jar? I'm a fan of butterscotch pudding, which recently disappeared from the pudding shelves at Giant again. Del Frisco's isn't as sweet as store-bought pudding, balancing the butterscotch flavor with a thick layer of caramel atop the pudding, and finishing the presentation with whipped cream and large salt crystals for a sweet and salty combination.
I couldn't pass up a Samuel Adams Oktoberfest. If I had to pick just one dish from the list above, I would recommend the fish tacos with the corn bisque. Delicious.
All of these dishes except the pudding could be shared, so bring your coworkers along for lunch. Parking at Pike & Rose is free for the first 2 hours. Follow this tip: enter the parking garage from Old Georgetown Road, which will put you on a lower level with more spaces open. Take the Old Georgetown Road elevator up to the lobby level, and you will exit right onto the patio at Del Frisco's Grille.
