Ooooh! There are big things a foot and exciting news coming. But first, I want to prove to you that Mimi and I truly did find the elusive place called Tacos Arabe. The one past the rocket and looking like the Flatiron building in New York but not really. We even found it in the dark the next time, it was even open and we actually ate there.

Considering that it took us 3 trips before we actually got to eat anything, and that those 3 trips probably took up at least an hour and a half of driving time, and that it was tacos we were going to this great effort for, tacos that can be had anywhere in Mexico with some degree of goodness... it was ok but not great.

Here's a pic of our food before we dove into it. There were the namesake tacos arabe which were the best of the lot I thought. They are the ones with the shadow of my head over them. They had grilled onion and slices of chiles and grilled pork I think although it could have been beef after all the sauce and the chile and all. At the right are tacos arrachera which is grilled skirt steak, they were good but nothing special. On the far right, Mimi is about to scarf up tacos arrachera but with cheese melted on them. The plate in front has grilled green onions, cebollas chambray, and with some lime juice I think they were pretty darn good. The drink is a Chelada, lime juice and ice and a beer poured over it. You pick the beer, I had Leon Negra a Yucatan dark beer that I like a lot. That was good too although I like mine with a little less lime juice.

There were 4 sauces, forget that little bowl at the back unless your mouth is made of asbestos. The 3 black bowls had chopped onions and cilantro, a nice spicy red salsa that was hot without eating the skin off your tongue, and fresh cream...there's nothing that doesn't taste good with thick cream on it, come on.

Ignore that pack of Marlboro's, yes we still smoke, yes we will quit one day, no I don't want to discuss it.

The walls are covered with graffiti from happy customers, most of it in spanish but the odd one in english or french or german.

So, we won the treasure hunt and like many things in life the treasure was not as great as you thought it would be when you were searching for it.
