Me: What is that?
A: THE MOST AMAZING PLACE EVER
Friday, Me: Where should we go to dinner?
A: I'm not sure
Me: Why don't we got to Five Leaves
A: That's a great idea, because then tomorrow we can go to Calexico
Me: What is that again?
A: THE MOST AMAZING PLACE EVER
Saturday, All day, A: I'M SO EXCITED FOR CALEXICO I'M NOT EATING ALL DAY
Alas, after having a beer at the Brooklyn Brewery A, B & I made our way to Calexico to chow down on some Mexican food. It was quickly decided that A & I would have the white wine sangria (I was a little disappointed there was no red wine available) and B would have her favorite margarita.
And not surprisingly we all honed in on exactly what we wanted:
A:
BAJA FISH BURRITO beer battered cod, spicy slaw, mango salsa, chipotle "crack" sauce (no beans or pico de gallo)
B: TOFU ASADO TACOS grilled chile-lime tofu, avocado salsa, pico de gallo
Moi: CHICKEN ENCHILADA slow cooked chicken and bacon in a red chile sauce with monterey jack cheese
Although my dish had a little bit of heat to it I thoroughly enjoyed it. A little dish of rice, beans and tomatoes was provided. I could have used a little sour cream but I was too involved with the cheesy enchiladas to look up at our adorable waiter and ask for some. Both B & A had been here before and informed me that the limes that are provided with any dish that calls for limes is severely dry and you're lucky to get any juice from it. A asked for extra crack sauce and it reminded me of Bareburger's chipotle mayo sauce that is ever so addicting. Next time I do want to try the fish burrito or maybe a fish taco. Whenever I feel like having a burrito I head straight to Chipotle and that keeps me full for several days. Perhaps when I am preparing for winter hibernation I'll do that.
We all rolled out fat and happy just missing the rain as we walked down Manhattan Ave. Of course as we passed Peter Pan Donuts A & I ran inside to fetch a honey glazed donut as our snack. So maybe we weren't as full as we thought...
