My first, and all-time favorite, Mexican restaurant was El Nibble Nook in the near-west ‘burbs of Detroit. Went there with my high school Spanish club, then on my own until I moved away. To my delight, I’ve discovered this morning that they’re still in business and now have 2 locations.

The couple of times I got really sick after a meal somewhere, it took me YEARS to go back, either to the restaurant where it happened or to the dish itself if it wasn't at a restaurant.
First time was from a cherry pie. I'm sure it wasn't the pie, which a neighbor had baked, but just whatever was going on with my 7- or 8-year-old digestive system that evening. But I couldn't stand the thought of cherry pie till a decade later when I took the plunge and had a great one, and I wondered how I could ever have lived without it. Another time was after eating some kind of barbecue dish at a restaurant in Cleveland. In the middle of the night I more or less exploded - from both ends, to be sure, in case you were wondering - and I couldn't go near that place OR a barbecue dish after that. (Fortunately, I did get over the barbecue issue, and whatever the weird dish was, it wasn't what we know to be real barbecue anyway.) |

Our local Mexican restaurant, very traditional, when I was growing up was great - Casa Cienega. I can still taste their fresh corn tortillas.

El Carmen was a favorite of cousin Dee Dee but unfortunately I had a bum meal there and have never been back.

Tuesday morning greetings!I had enchiladas once, at a HHW gathering. They were good, as I recall, but I never had the urge to revisit the experience. Damn. It's been that long?? I remember running into Robin de Jesus on Eighth Ave. on the way to meet y'all at the theeders, and him telling me I'd better get my ASS to Boys in the Band before it closed. (Which I did.) |
