Sometimes it is good for the soul to just go to a restaurant and indulge. So, the other day I decided to take Mum and Dawn to one of our favorite restaurants for dinner: Chihuahua Family Mexican Restaurant. It has been a while since we've eaten here - for a variety of reasons - and we were very excited to be going back. Every time we eat here, we have a positive experience.
I just love the look of this place. Lots of bright colors, red brick, and black iron details.
They even use the planter boxes along the side of the restaurant to plant flowers, herbs, and a lime tree. I cannot help but wonder if the limes are for the Coronas they serve in the bar area.
Every table gets a basket full of warm tortilla chips.
And two bowls of goodies to put on those warm tortilla chips. I admit, I prefer Mum's Pico de Gallo. She makes the best stuff.
There is never a shortage of food at this restaurant. We get large plates that are hot to the touch. And those hot plates (you have to be very coordinated to ensure you don't burn yourself while eating) are heaping with food and the heated plates keep the food warm during the entire meal.
This was my plate... Two chicken enchiladas, rice, and beans... Fabulous. Even more fabulous? The conversation. It is one of the great things about going to a restaurant. You don't have to worry about fixing the food, serving the food, or doing the dishes. Instead, you can just pick what you want and sit back to enjoy the company you're eating with while others worry about fixing the food, serving the food, and doing the dishes.
We don't indulge that much, but when we do - we relish it. Our conversation lasted 2 hours - well passed the food. Bring on dessert!!
