Didn't realize it was your anniversary! Happy anniversary!

Nice Miz D

I must have the chips and salsa regardless of what it does to the rest of the meal. Means I always eat too much when we get TexMex.

So, are you keeping him? My wife gets up each day and gives me another one for some reason. I think I am like a craft project to her.

Yeah, I'll probably keep him. 37 years, who else would want us?

Nice pics Darla

I always get the tilapia with shrimp, and it's good. They make a nice little pyramid of your side of rice. It always looks good, but I hardly touch it due to my low carb preferences. Wife and kids get what they want, and are always satisfied.

Regarding Mazen: you definitely need to eat there. It is surely a treat. We've only been 2 or 3 times, but it has been top notch food and service every time. I hope it can make it in that location, which as you know, has been a revolving door of good restaurants.

+1 for offering lengua tacos.

-1 for offering shrimp and chicken "fajitas". (fajitas means skirt steak)

The food looks great, especially the cóctel de camarón. Too bad they don't offer cóctel de pulpo (octopus).

Coctel Camaron - Very similar to ceviche, but the server said the difference is that there is some ketchup in this sauce, which sweetens it a lot. I know the use of ketchup will make some people turn their nose up at this, but I have to tell you, I LOVE the flavor of this dish.


Basically a Mexican shrimp cocktail. FWIW, I typically use ketchup in my ceviche's.

I tried La Pagua for the first time. I ordered beef tongue tacos which took over 40 minutes (there were just a couple of tables in there, so I'm not sure if they had to find a cow first or what was going on) and they were very underwhelming. Not only was I late getting back to work because it took them 40 minutes to assemble some tacos, but it made me really appreciate el Limon's beef tongue tacos. I definitely won't be getting them again, although the pics that Darla posted look delicious, so I may try them again.

I hate it when that happens. If I turn my phone upside down, the phone re-orients the picture, so it's still upside down. I have to stand on my head...
