Wanna Be Taco

With tournaments, Mother's Day, graduation and having company we have eaten out more the last week then we usually do all month.  Seriously, it's like every meal has come from a restaurant.

That's an observation, not a complaint.

Because that means I didn't have to cook or do dishes. Yes - double win! *happy dance*

It is unfortunate though because all this eating out has brought to my attention that I've got to bump our favorite mexican restaurant.  We found this little place that I thought was going to be our go-to place.  But the last few times we've gone it's been...not so great.

This last time, it was just bad. 

I wasn't very hungry so I just ordered a taco a la carte. This is what they brought:

That's it.

Meat in a shell.

I mean, yeah I didn't want rice or beans but can you throw some lettuce in there? Maybe even a little cheese?

This...this is just a sad little shell with some brown stuff thrown in. It is NOT a taco. And don't even go there with the authentic mexican food thing...this isn't an authentic mexican food restaurant.  This is american mexican food restaurant where everything is smothered in a pile of cheese.

Except for tacos, which aren't smothered in anything.

The real deal breaker though was that the chips were burnt. I thought maybe the first time it was just a fluke thing. But no, these were burnt too. And I'm sorry but I just can't go to a place that doesn't get the chips right.  I mean, chips are like 90% of what I love about mexican food.

So the search for favorite local mexican restaurant begins now...
