For a mid-afternoon comida a visit to a neighborhood favorite, the much heralded Mexican restaurant Casa Perez.
SWMBO, aka Judy, enjoys a bowl of Chili Verde, one of her favorites.
The menu description: Lean chunks of pork simmered in green tomatillo sauce with bell peppers and onions. Served with rice, beans, pico de gallo, and tortillas.
I had Chili Relleno de Camarones: A Mexican poblano pepper stuffed with prawns, mushrooms, pepper and a cream sauce. Served over green sauce and sour cream with rice, pico de gallo and tortillas.
(Sorry, no photo. My appetite superseded one.)
We each prefaced our meals with one of the delicious House Margaritas and accompanied them with Negra Modelo cervezas (beers).
It's a great restaurant but don't tell anyone.
Gosh! You are living the high life! Can't remember the last time I had Mexican food out. Is that the restaurant on 69 near the PCC?
ReplyDeleteNo, it's right in front of Fry's, next door to the Firehouse Subs.
DeleteThanks! I have a girlfriend who likes Mexican. She and her husband usually go to a place by Hobby Lobby for Taco Tuesday.
DeleteI imagine all that could get spicy.
ReplyDeleteWe won't tell. 😊
ReplyDeleteI love the furniture there. I don't like Mexican foods though.
ReplyDeleteWe lived in San Diego area for 27+ years. So there are some real food treasures there.
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy! It's harder to get Mexican food over here, so I may just have to read about yours. :)
