Ramona: Chips, salsa, and queso with beef, Enchiladas la crema, rice, beans, and iced tea
Jim: Chips, salsa, and queso with beef, soft chicken taco, three chicken enchiladas rice, beans (modified Mexican platter), and iced tea
Friends from western Texas was passing through Waco, and invited us to meet them for lunch. They were recently married in California, so we were happy to sit down with them, catch up on events, and congratulate them for their nuptials.
The food was good, and there was plenty of it. Dinner will be late tonight. The queso with beef was something new, and we enjoyed that. The jalapeno peppers did not overwhelm us, and did give the cheese a little kick.
This lunch was more about friends and old times, so we had a great lunch.

Ramona: Margaritas (2!), Enchiladas Suizas (three chciken enchiladas with sour cream and tomatillo sauce, beans and rice, tres leches cake
Jim: Mexican Dinner (2 chicken enchiladas, 1 bean enchilada, beans, rice, soft beef taco, flan, iced tea
Those of you who read us regulalrly, know Jim is not a big fan of Mexican food. Ramona's platter was good, and Jim's agreed about the beans and rice, but the chicken in the enchiladas was dry and tasteless. I happened to have lunch on Friday at El Conquistador in Bellmead, TX. I got the chicken enchilada lunch platter, and it was outstanding.
Ramona thought the margaritas were ordinary, although I suspect the second was better than the first ;->
Deserts were a complete disappointment. Flan is one of Jim's favorite after dinner treats, but this one tasted burnt. Ramona's tres leche cake was also flat and tasteless. It did not even come close to the delicious version served at El Siete Mares.
We will give the Don a second chance, but not anytime soon. A much better meal with all the same items can be had at La Fiesta, for 2/3s the price of this meal.
