6/10 – the hip restaurant lunch date

This date started out badly as due to miscommunications I was the only one who showed up to our lunchtime rendezvous. No drama, I had wanted to check out the restaurant and I enjoyed trying the tacos (frijoles con nopales – baked black beans, cactus & ‘pico de gallo’).

AM and I rescheduled for a week later, same time, same place. This time around we both showed up (hooray!). I ordered the chili rellenos (bullhorn chiles stuffed with wild mushrooms, pepitas, epazote & pumpkin sauce), he had the tacos de pollo (raised-right roast chicken, citrus, guacamole & queso frescode) and we shared an ensalada verde (iceburg lettuce, cucumber & spring onion, lime & dill dressing).

We ate, we talked, we had coffee – that’s three of my favourite things, right there.

The verdict? A good time was had.
