After a long-ass week of moving and unpacking, my wife and I hit up Cinco de Mayo at a fancy Mexican place near our new house called !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Being as we now live in a fancy part of the world, this Mach 1 Mustang was parked out front. There was also a Bentley, but whatever, that shit is played out.

I’ve learned throughout my travels that the Mexicans who make it out of Arizona, southern California, New Mexico and western Texas are terrible cooks. Probably better off eating at Taco Bell than any restaurant with “gringos” in the name. Also, despite what they told you, neither the beans nor the rice were vegan. There’s no Spanish word for vegan.

That place is fantastic. Doesn’t seem remotely related to authentic Mexican food, but tasty nonetheless.

This is definitely cooler than any late-model Bentley.

About 20 years ago, we took a family trip to Big Bend. Our guide told us about a new Mexican restaurant in Lajitas, and that the owner hired “the best chef in the Bend.” So we went.
It was shit. Whatever good chicken they had was being eaten in the kitchen, an everything was drowned in mole sauce.
The best part, though, was the old guy who pulled up to the restaurant and climbed out of his truck carrying a bottle of Seagrams and looking for some 7-up to pour it in. Not surprisingly, he was carrying a holstered gun, and was also very drunk. The waitress took his gun for safe keeping (for fear of chasing off the out of town guests, which were only us), and the guy sat down at our table. His name was Howard. He started telling stories about how he was a Special Forces soldier in Vietnam, and about parachuting into Cambodia at night while tripping on LSD. I have no reason to doubt the veracity of his story. He was wearing a very old straw cowboy hat with a hole in it. My sister-in-law, as serious as she could be, looked at Howard and asked, “Is that a bullet hole in your hat?” “Why yes it is,” he replied. He didn’t stay long; he got his mixer, and his gun, got back in the truck and drove away.

Any beans that aren’t at least 25% lard aren’t worth eating.

They have a good overpriced bar and a Mexican theme. I wouldn’t call it authentic. More like wannabe chefy interpretations of Mexican food. We went for the bar. If we wanted authentic we would’ve gone to one of the many proper ratty taquerias nearby.
Most people there were excited about the Washington Capitals hockey game and random horse races that were on TV.
Didn’t have any rice and the only beans we had were some black beans on the veggie sopes.
