The next day - after the tuna salad day - was equally as hot, so Javier and I decided to go out for some Mexican food and tell about our experience.
I'm not sure what the legalities are when mentioning the names of places where we eat, so let's just say that we ate at one of the least pretentious but most popular Mexican food places here in town. They only serve lunch, and they only serve lunch Mondays through Fridays.
We decided to order some pretty routine items because 1) we have already created some of them for our blog, and 2) we wanted to see how routine is handled at a popular eatery. Our three items, which we shared were a chicken enchilada, a taco de carnitas, and a green chile burrito.
Our experience started out with me cutting off a bite of the chicken enchilada and burning the roof of my mouth on over-heated sauce and melted cheese. This has never happened to me before! So, I labeled the enchilada "off limits" for a few moments while I turned to the taco de carnitas, which is roasted pork served in a warm corn tortilla with pico de gallo salsa. For amount of meat served in the taco, it deserves a 10, but for flavor and the practicality of eating so much meat on a taco (the corn tortilla ripped open), it deserves a 7.
Javier started in on the burrito de chile verde and said that one side of the burrito was cool but the other half was warm. (Big difference from the enchilada I tried a few moments earlier). He said it was delicious, although not very picante, and deserved an 8.
When we were finally able to eat the enchilada, we discovered that it was all sauce and very little enchilada, especially in the chicken department. I would not order another one, and feel it deserved a 5.
Will we eat there again? Of course. We go once every year, and some meals are better than others. And, you can't be the prices which are excellent.
