L- Gotta Love That Mexican: La Cabanita




(Tuna, our guest blogger of the day, submits the following as I was enjoying a few days vacation, dining on, what else, tacos!. Photos by Lily White.)

Today we were without our fearless leader, Epi-curious. It was up to Lilly White, Cougar, and me, Tuna, to venture off and find some tasty morsels. I was recently back from a leave from the fine Vallejo foods and was eagerly awaiting a new treat. Today we decided to head off to a recently discovered Mexican restaurant, La Cabanita.

The Process

After figuring out where we were heading and who would be taking the pictures, Lilly White and I headed off to pick up the food. Cougar had phoned in the order and three different orders of chicken enchiladas awaited to be eaten upon our arrival. A short drive through a few stoplights and next to a shady looking discount store, we found our restaurant sitting. Inside we found a few customers and surroundings that resembled any other Mexican restaurant a person enters. Our food was already prepared and waiting, so we grabbed it and left. No communication problems here, everyone spoke English.



The Chow

Before any pictures could be shot, we all had taken to our food like a pack of wolves to a freshly killed deer. I'm not sure how deer tastes to wolves but we all agreed our enchiladas were a meal worth eating. Unfortunately, unlike a freshly killed deer, our enchiladas were rather cold. The phone ahead seemed to have done us a disservice in this situation. We all got a small side salad in white Styrofoam containers which nobody seemed to care for. It was limp and mine was doused in a runny Thousand Island dressing. Cougar got an order of chips which she shared with Lilly White. They both complained of too much salt, only to discover that the salt was in the hot sauce they dipped their chips in.



The Wrap

The food was good,
The food was cold,
We’ll eat there again,
When we’re feeling bold.

The Rating: 3.0 out of 5.0
