Aye Carumba.
There's nothing like great Mexican when ya' NEED it, is there?
A friend and I decided to hit Los Chilitos a few nights back.
First things first.
Ever ordered Nachos at a pub, got a plate piled way high, horribly shy on cheese.. and got three little dishes, a la, the pub downstairs in my building, of Guacamole, Salsa, and Sour Cream?
WTF, Dude?
Is it REALLY asking too much for more then a few tablespoons each?
A nightmare when you're sharing with 2 or 3 other people.
I'm here to tell ya', tain't like that at the Ole' L.C.
No way, Amigo.
You get LOADS of chips and HEAPS of gorgeous fresh green Guacamole.
Then we ordered Ceviche.
Fresh and really 'Fishy' tasting. All flavour.
Bloody delightful.
That SHOULD have been ample but, NO.
We're Gluttons. So we decided to Oink On!
I ordered a stuffed pepper and was advised they'd run out.
So, after wiping my teary wee eyes, I ordered the Burritos.
Now, I'm a SAUCE guy and we got sauce. More, more flavours....
She had something yummy covered in Mole Sauce.
I was too busy pounding it all back to notice although we swapped a few bites, if I remember correctly.
And the Beergrita's and the Margaritas and the Coronas, and the terrific service and then? The Bill.
Over a hundred dollars for two with tip, I kid you not.
But the atmosphere was really pleasantly BUZZY-- everybody was enjoying themselves; it's in a little old bungalow on 17th Avenue SW and it was just too damned tough to leave.
Sometimes a simple meal turns into an 'event'.
Hell, I didn't mind the bill one little bit.
I'm going to have to disagree with Mr. 2* on this one.
Was a real pleasure.
