We Tried A New Mexican Restaurant - Meh

Song:  This Time

Artist:  John Legend

We had tried a new Mexican restaurant...

as this one was just a few minutes from home.

Our favorite one is across town...

but we shall go back to it in the future.

As with adventures...

they don't always turn out well.

Their complimentary chips and dips are very good...

but this is where the quality ended.

Although the quantity was good...

the food quality was not so good.

I expect full flavors in my Mexican food...

and to have freshness in each bite.

This food was kind of bland...

and most of it hadn't seemed to be very fresh.

This is a cardinal sin in any food...

but it is especially bad in Mexican food.

There should be a fresh and zesty taste in every bite.

Although the decor was very fitting and nice...

it seems they had concentrated on all the wrong areas.

The cook is the bread and butter of any restaurant...

and in this...

they had failed.

The tortillas were thick and hard.

The rice and beans tasted as if they were overly warmed and dried out.

We then ordered dessert.

When I had asked about the portions for the desserts...

the waitress depicted the deep fried ice cream as being the size of a fist...

so, I ordered it (the one on the left of the photo).

What had arrived was the size of an elephant's foot...

not a human fist!

My mother had just taken a little of each dessert...

and I couldn't finish the rest.

From now on...

we are going back to our old favorite Mexican restaurant.

Sometimes...

the best is what we already have.

However...

we will continue to search for other types of ethnic restaurants for the pure adventure of it.

My mother loves to try new places...

so, this is reason enough to continue to explore.

But...

for Mexican restaurants...

we will keep our old favorite.
