This time we had a very good meal, and the people where very nice. I got Carnitas and a big margarita and the ex wife got a big margarita and some tacos. Very good.
Not as good as it normally is. I got Texas fajitas to go. Maybe because it was not served on the hot plate, not sure. It was good, but not great.
