Ramona & Jim: Chicken fajitas for two, sopapillas, iced tea

We promised to review every new restaurant we did not visited last year, or any restaurant with an unusual new dish or a significant problem. We will also continue our "second chance" visits.

Surprisingly, we have not visited Ninfa's in a long time, even though we both like it. The problem lies in the fact that Jim remains less than big fan of Mexican food, so it never comes to mind.

The food tonight was good, no question, but the restaurant was crowded and exceedingly noisy. The service was good, not too fast, but not too slow either considering how crowded it was. We arrived at the right moment, because large numbers of guests came in right after us, and a large crowded waited for tables when we left.

The fajitas included a generous portion of delicious chicken, peppers, and onions. We both left satisfied. The sopapillas made the drive home with us for a snack later that evening.

Poor Raji! She knows when we come home with a white plastic container it carries some treat she might get, but not that time. The traditional Mexican dessert barely fit in the large container, and a few seconds in the microwave warmed them perfectly. Ninfa's provided us with plenty of honey.

All in all a good night out.

-Jim
