The "Froggy Rita" is a house favorite, made with Señor Frog's house tequila, triple sec, sweet and sour mix, and a choice of fruit flavors.

Most tables and booths were large, perfect for bringing your big group of friends with you to get down. This table had ordered two mixed appetizer platters.
The dance floor, located in the center of the restaurant, was packed from when I arrived around 11 p.m. until I left at 1 a.m. The DJ played a variety of dance music, from Drake's "Hotline Bling" to other club jams.

Before his gig at Señor Frog's, balloon artist Mike Allocco had worked for four years at children's birthday parties. He agreed that this was way more entertaining.

The staff at Señor Frog's deserve a gold star for giving it their all on stage — not only are they expected to take care of the orders of everyone in the restaurant, they're also performing their hearts out in front of the entire building.

The performance continued on stage. The staff was fantastic at keeping the energy up and the party going.
Soon, everyone was lining up in a conga line to receive a shot of juice.

People were posing for photos left and right.
And lots of selfies were snapped.

At the end of the night, I was ready to head home — but the rest of Señor Frog's was still going at it. Although coats were needed outside, inside, the faux-spring break madness raged on.
