On a Mexican Quest

Warm weather made a comeback in New York this week, so Munchkin and I took advantage of it yesterday.  It’s so nice going out without having to bundle the little man in a coat and hat, which he hates. We went to the little park by our house and we were the only ones there, so I was able to play with Alex without getting weird looks from people.

 

After the park, Munchkin was ready to nap and I got to do some homework, which was oh-so-exciting.  After school, Tommy met me at the subway and we went to get some Mexican for dinner.  We have both been craving Mexican for weeks and have been looking for a good place to go in our area.  We went to a place called San Loco in Williamburg and the food was pretty good. As we were walking up, I told Tommy that we used to hit up this place after a long night on the town in college. The place is open all night long and they also serve alcohol, in case you don’t get enough at all the surrounding bars.

We both got Burrito Grandes which had chipotle chicken, rice, beans, cheese, pico de gallo, onions, sauce and sour cream in a flour tortilla.  They have hot sauces in four levels of spiciness, with the hottest being called stupid.  We opted for just the hot one. The burrito was your basic burrito, but I really liked it.  They use refried beans which are my absolute fav in burritos.

We also shared a side of Macho Nachos that were topped with chili, guacamole, pico de gallo, cheese, jalapenos and sour cream. These were good, but the way they were served, left some naked chips on the bottom and there is nothing worse than naked chips. The chilli was also lacking some spice.  We both agreed that the actual chips were better than other nachos, but the topping were a bit lacking.

We still have a few other Mexican places we want to try, but overall San Loco was pretty good and since it’s only three blocks from my subway stop, I might be making pit stops there occasionally.

Continuing with my Thankful November list, D is for dishwasher.  Now I know this seems like a really silly thing to be thankful for and so many people go without one, but our broke over the summer and it really sucked having to constantly hand wash all the dishes. I especially loathed washing all of Munchkin’s cups that have tons of little parts which have to be cleaned thoroughly.

Munchkin and I are going to run to the supermarket because I have a plethora of squash in my kitchen and I want to put them to good use for tonight’s dinner.

If you like Mexican, what’s you favorite dish?
