All of our restaurants around here suck, lol. So no one really knows us. But we are a memorable group, lol. There’s 6 of us and my kids aren’t exactly the quiet type, lolol So usually the servers get to know us, lol. Drew always steals the women’s attention, hehehe

Mexican food is me and my husbands favorite food. We eat there WAY too much. We really haven’t found a great authentic place yet in our area, which is a total bummer! It’s just so addictive…

Before we moved here, we had a similar relationship with the staff at a mexican place near our house. We decided we were really eating there too much when we were sitting at a stop light one night and heard honking beside us. We turned around to see the manager of the place, smiling and waving at us. Although we’ve eatea at the mexican restaurant here quite frequently in the two years we’ve been in town, we’ve never really bonded with the staff. Makes me kinda sad, now that I think about it.

We have “book club” at a Mexican place near work each Monday. They aplogize to us when our seats at the bar are taken, they know our drink order, and they always bring me a plate of rice along with the fresh chips and salsa, because if I don’t eat, I can’t order a second (or third…or fourth) half-price margarita, and that makes me sad. Our waiter is titled “Hot Hot Miguel”

We too had a Mexican place around the corner from our old house. We went there once a week at least with our first son when he was an infant, and they always brought us a big bowl of refried beans for him, no charge, and knew our brand of beers and favorite combo platters. I miss them so!

Amen!! I have a couple of places like that and I just love it…particularly that they know I want my ‘ritas on the rocks with salt.

I’m jealous. I don’t have convenient easy access to Mexican food.

I’m willing to give you free Spanish phrases if you would like.

(Side note: I know I don’t comment enough, either.)

As far as this goes, there was a Mexican place in Vegas near my grandparents’ house. They had been going there before I, their first grandbaby, was born, and continued the tradition long after.

They used to bring me in as an infant, and the waitstaff were so familiar with my family, that they would argue over who got to hold me while we climbed into our favorite booth. (Yes, we had a table in the corner.) I, too, got my own bowl of salsa, and if we ran out of chips, I would actually eat the salsa with a spoon. (Probably still would, too.)

Unfortunately, last time I was visiting Vegas, I drove by, and it wasn’t there any more…
