Friday Night Links

P.J. was jonesing for some good Mexican food, so he Yelped a few places in the area and decided on a little joint down by the railroad tracks that sells tacos for 99 cents. I was suspicious of such an amazing deal, but figured it was worthy a try. The tacos were small, but still generous considering their 99 cent price tag. I ordered a two taco/rice and bean combo for 4.99. The carne asada was all right. Tender, but heavily salted. P.J. ordered the taquitos and pretended while eating them that he was smoking a cigar. It got kinda messy when he tried to make plumes of smoke using guacamole. Sometimes I feel I can't go out in public with P.J. At least not to any place respectable. Overall, the food okay and would make do if need be, but definitely not a place I would rave about. P.J. responded more favorably to the joint because of the free jalapeno peppers. He's a sucker for the free giveaway.
