Cinco de Mayo

In celebration of Cinco de Mayo we headed down to a local Mexican spot we had yet to try. As we walked in we could see the place was already packed. We spotted an open table in the bar area and headed over. As we looked around we noticed the place was packed with Americans...just like Rosarito and Puerto Vallarta!

I flagged down the waitress and ordered "fajitas with carne asada and a quesadilla with carne asada". The waitress replied, "What?". I repeat "carne asada" and point at the fajitas on the menu. Again, the waitress replies, "What?". From across the table Jesse says "steak". The waitress replies, "ohhh, beef". Sure, beef. I forgot I was in China with all the white Americans in the Mexican spot. :)

As we wait for our food I see the manager walking with an already tipsy American (white guy with a polo shirt and khaki shorts) with a tray of limes and shot glasses and two bottles of Cuervo (one silver, one gold). It's about to get real Rosarito up in here!

After some time we finally get our carne asada fajitas...and a plate of carnitas quesadilla (not quite what we ordered but tasty...much more meat than cheese). The food isn't quite the Mexican food we are used to but it's tasty nonetheless. Halfway through our dinner the tequila party moved out to the table on the deck...phew! This no-longer-18 couple was finding them a bit obnoxious...

By the end of our dinner we were pretty satisfied, we ended up running into my coworkers who were also celebrating Cinco de Mayo. All in all it was a good night.
