Dios Mio....

Went to my mediocre passible "Mexican" restaurant this evening. Oh...my...gawd... Me and Mrs Bunneh get seated in the back end. Eh..it was packed so no biggie. But I got seated to a table of good ol fahsioned grade a meat and taters eatin red NECKS! And lemme tell you, they knew it all about Meskin cookin boy... My waiter comes up. Buenos Tardes senior... Si quedes bebidas? No prob. Para la seniora, una diet coke y uno margarita tejana...con sal...grande por favor. Gracias Senior. The subject table next to me. Guy is wearing a Champion Spark plug hat (and ofcourse its still on his head) and a black t-shirt with a crying wuffeh over imposed with an American flag (Why sweet Jesus...Why!). And he's stuffing limes in his deeleecious Corona. Everybody else has good ol Bhud Layte... (somewhere in the distance.."red solo cup...ah fill you up...") Then in that definative "Jorhhay boosh" accent. Ehs is muy beehen sayrvaysah. Gawd.... And Pahblow...more white sauce for the cheeps (that crap is basically ranch dressing...peh) Anyway, the table is mawing down on there cheeps, foobar American(Belgium) beer and craptastical Mexican beer along with copious bowls of that monkey spooge crap. Then he goes in to how Tapatio is the best "salhsa" made (gawd...lonchera swill). Everybody orders...And he goes into this complex
Tayhas Fahgeetas" order. No onions, only red peppers (which dont come with it) and mushrooms (WTF?!?) Then he says he had this green sauce in D.C. I dont remember what its was called (maybe Salsa Verde...perhaps...estupido!) The chick behind my wife sounds like Moon Unit with her Strawberry Margarita "Ah dunno...Oh Mah Gawd...Ah Dunno...Oh Mah Gawd...ad nauseum". I ate...quickly. Got home... took my shoes of, and took a long draw on that bottle of Yaygherhoochie in the freezer...mmm...Jagerhoochie... At least I know that I will be making a power run down to Durham tomorrow where I can eat lunch with real illegal aliens that speak proper spanish and eat proper Mexican food...not monkey spooge and Tapatio on stale chips...

My rant is over. Need another "draw" and gonna watch "Panda-Schmanda II"

Grandma always said, no Mexican food is better than bad Mexican food. As for the RNs, didja getem headed back to the Interstate in an Arkansaswardly direction?

Our fav Mexican joint is somewhat inner city, is predominately staffed by Colombians and our rednecks don't seem to make complete asses of themselves. Prices are reasonable and the food is great. Univision is what's on the channel - period. It's an enjoyable hole in the wall.

Our second fav Mexican joint is staffed by a mixture of Latin American and Southern American nationals, is festively decorated and prices are a little more than the first place...but the food is good. The drunks are loud but tolerable. They have live senoritas on stage during the weekend. The heavier-set Swedish looking gal actually does a good job vocalizing regional Spanish folk songs. Prices are reasonable and the portions are HUGE: $20 buys dinner and lunch leftovers for both of us.

Moving up/down the ladder, the next one has a mixture of Mexican-Americans and U.S.-born help, is somewhat "trendy" and attracts (among other night life) the fabled "3-wolf shirt" crowd. It's more of a sports bar with a decidedly Mexican tilt. Prices and portions are commensurate with the environment, but overall it isn't that bad: Janet has eaten there with 'DSG and myself.

Uh, dunno bunneh...

If there was no malicious intent, I'd say who cares? People are stupid sometimes.

I try to order in Spanish, when the wait person is not English fluent. I probably sound like some CA gringo.

You are correct. Tapatio is HORRIBLE. They must give that away free, because it's on every table at Mexicano restaurants out here.

A bunch more "draws." That rant was very well written....obviously still too sober!

The RN's may have been yuppie wannabes. I've heard yuppies talk just like that.

Chill. Here's the bong.

You missed your chance, Ren! You shoulda just walked over to them with a big smile on your face, thrown your arm around the most egregious of them and said "Pinché pendejo cabron!"

Forgive us nubs. Ive just started learning Spanish as of a few months ago. Right now my project is reading a small middle school book called El hombre del bar. I have come to a realization that reading a new language is tenfold harder than speaking it. I often find myself trying to pronounce Spanish words that are spelled similar to or the same as English. Slowly I am learning to pronounce words the way the should be. Its hard when reading, for me at least but when speaking it seems to come natural.

Good thing for me Ill be in Spain in a few months and my soon to be Mother in-law is going to sit down with me and give me lessons. :) My sister in-law as well. Ofc Pilar is already teaching me but Ill take all of the help I can get.

Now if only my future in-laws would remember to talk to me in Spanish rather than Valencian or Catalan. :P

Heh, our group of friends all use English as a way to communicate because most of us have different native languages. Spanish(a given being in spain), French, Portuguese, Italian, and Korean.

Now as far as Mexican restaurants are concerned, we have a 'decent' one in my home town. Sadly I do not think it will last in my hick town. Never anyone there. Ofc..round here culture is not broad. 3 months until my escape, 3 months. :D
