Taqueria Mexico

A few weeks ago, for Grandpa's pick, the All-Stars went to Taqueria Mexico on Southwest Boulevard.  It is a nice restaurant, with good lighting, an open dining area, a jukebox with a lot of music I didn't recognize (Mexican music, I expect), and a friendly staff.

The menu was extensive, which is always a little dubious.  There can't be a chef in the back that has the ingredients for, and can cook from a selection of 50 different dishes for a table of 8 in 20 minutes - it's got to be frozen.  But that doesn't mean it isn't decent. 

I ordered the ceviche, which was very flavorful, and received well by the other All-Stars.  But they only had few bites.  It was never bad, but the flavor became overwhelming halfway through the dish, and I couldn't finish it.  It's like that experiment where they have people try Pepsi and Coke, and people choose Pepsi when they just get one sip, because it is sweeter, but choose Coke when they drink the whole thing.  The ceviche was good, but only for a few sips.

Not a big chips and salsa fan, so I will defer to the other authorities in our group for that.  I am a big margarita fan, and these were good margarita's.  They were tangy, and not too sweet.  And Sara drove home.

I tasted Josh's infamous tongue.  Well, not his tongue, he's my brother.  What's the matter with you?  I tried the cow tongue that he ordered.  First I inspected it, and, in case you have never seen a bovine mouth organ up close, cows have huge taste buds (oh God, I hope those were taste buds).  I pressed the cow tongue firmly against my tongue, feeling the taste buds rub roughly against my own.  He was firm, yet gentle.  I was basically French kissing a cow.  A dead cow with his tongue cut out and sautéed. And I liked it.  I don't know if I was tasting him, or he was tasting me, but we were delicious and tender, and I will never order it for myself.  Let's leave it at that.  We had one wonderful night, but it isn't meant to be. If you love something, set it free, right?  

To finish the night a mariachi band stopped in a played for a bit.  That was fun.  I danced with Luke some, and it was great.  Nice finish to the night.

I give Taqueria Mexico a 3.3/5.
