Extemporaneous Ramblings

We like Mexican food. Lynette has eaten it since she was about 6 months old. Sooooo, we figured that on our first night we would tour the ‘Old Town’ area and get some Mexican beans, etc. Granted we were WAY over tired.

So off we went again on the Trolley.

We found a nice open air (restaurents in this climate often have no real doors and windows to speak of - there are no bugs either to speak of) and ordered. We had forgotten that everything in the US is SUPERSIZED. We got enough food for 6, literally.

But the real story was the food. I had Mexican food on my last trip to LA and when it was not as good as our favourite place in Ottawa I figured it was just one place. Wrong! The cooking was the same in San Diego - very heavy and oily.

So the lesson here was that Mexcian food for us is Paucho Villa’s in Ottawa (Elgin and Frank) or not at all.

Live and learn…
