If someone asked me what food I miss the most I would say Genie's home cooking and then Mexican. I miss tacos, burritos, salsa, guacamole, tequila, quesadillas, Hefe Rojo, and Chipotle (yes, it needs its own category). So when Olivia told us there was a Mexican place worth checking out we were on board.
We arrived at The Missing Burro, great name! Don't worry we made many Lanesboro Burros jokes.
The restaurant was mostly outside, typical for Thailand. They asked if we had had a reservation, I assume people with reservations get to sit in the air conditioning. Genie and I sat down and were greeted with...
CHIPS AND SALSA!!!!!
It was difficult to save some for Olivia.
The menu was full of new flavors and some classic standbys.
We all got drinks and perused the menu. Olivia ordered a chorizo-queso (yes, it was a little cast iron full of cheese and chorizo.) It looked fantastic! The sour cream went unused...much to the disappointment of Genie's and my taste buds.
Genie was also on the chorizo train with these awesome tacos!
I also got tacos. I honestly don't remember what it was called. It had pork that had been slowly roasted inside a banana leaf for 5 hours and had achiote chilis. I have never had achiote chilis and I could only think of Aaron Sanchez (one of the judges on Chopped) saying it and figured it had to be authentic. Once again I made an excellent choice. I've been thinking about them ever since.
We will be going back...maybe even for this girlfriend's birthday. (wink, wink)
What a birthday celebration that will be! And continuing well into March!!
