Wow. Had this yesterday with the gf and it was fantastic. I usually dont try to pimp restaurants, but if you go there to eat, I would be shocked if you werent impressed with the food.

We both got the Laredo plate, which is a cheese enchilada, a beef enchilada, a choice of taco and a choice of rice or papas con chili (chili potatoes). Erin got the rice for fear that the papas would just be cubed up potatoes and salsa. Well, I was daring and ordered it.

Everything we ate was fantastic, which I mentioned to the manager when he asked us how the food was. We ended up ordering a seperate side of the papas con chile because Erin kept eating mine. :) They were like a cheesy, creamy mash potatoes with tons of spices and chili. Not too hot, but absolutely fantastic.

Very affordable too at just under $30 with tip (no alcohol).

For a chain Mexican food restaurant, this place is good. I can't remember the combo I get, but it comes with three enchiladas and beans and rice. Lots of food. Their chips and salsa are good as well. Ask for the hot sauce.

Yeah, I was shocked to learn that they were a chain. Better than most mom and pops I've had.

When the guy brought the salsa, he brought two good size salsa bowls and one little tiny stainless steel one, which appeared to have salsa verde in it or something. The big bowls tasted like tomato sauce and it took Erin and I a little while to figure out that you use the smaller, super-hot sauce to season your larger salsa. ;)

Or, you just eat the larger bowl as-is, and completely ignore the smaller, stainless steel one. Whichever works. ;)

Or you just avoid it all together because the water might be spicy.
I have actually eaten at Abuelo's, so there! :) It is good stuff. The water DID have a bit of a kick to it, but I managed.

I have been there a few times before. I get the Juarez combo. It's some good stuff, but the tamale isn't as good as the ones my dad used to buy from one of his customers at Kay Jewelers. I do like the enchiladas though.

no, no, no--I picked it from the ground, just like you did--don't YOU go trying to make that situation into what it wasn't. I saw you bend over to pick it up, so I bent over & picked up my end. You were the one that was all, "whoa--I wasn't ready for that massive display of muscles"...:) Just admit I'm stronger than you expected, and I'll let it go.

wuss. I still have a mark on my arm from my intentional clawing of myself to prove that you can leave a mark w/o bleeding. You didn't hear me piss & moan about that, did you?
Geez...the men on this board. I swear, you could hack off your arm w/a chainsaw & damn near refuse to go to the hospital, but a fingernail has you bitching for months. :p

I didn't realize picking up my end of the couch was "going crazy". All the times I've had MEN help me before, when you bend TO LIFT, you lift. I'll remember that should there ever be a next time....

Marks are not scars, intentional clawer.

Not until now... :p
