May 5th...
"iii-yiiii-yi-yi"
...HAPPY CINCO DE MAYOMr. Sweet and I love Mexican Food to the moon and back.....and then some.
We don't have to wait for Cinco de Mayo to visit
ROSA'S CAFE & TORTILLA FACTORY.
No sir-ree-bob....
we eat at this awesome cafe at least once a month...
and sometimes MORE..
Yep.....we DO love us some Tex-Mex.
Not only is their food totally GOOD..
all the colorful bits and bobs around in the cafe
give out AWESOME ATMOSPHERE....
I love the brightly colored Mexican pottery.
I'd love to take a shopping trip to Mexico, like we used to do...
Mr. Sweet nearly ALways gets the
TACO PLATE.
I change up nearly every time we go..I've never ordered anything I didn't just love...
this is their delish
CHEESE ENCHALADAS
and I sprinkle plenty of fresh CILANTRO ....
i love that stuff...
"iii-yiiii-yi-yi"
Hot, fresh Sopapillas...
my favorite Mexican dessert...
I made these with store-bought flour tortillas...
just cut a whole one in 4th,
deep fry in hot oil, using a fork to hold ea under the oil for a good puff.
If they don't puff, the oil isn't hot enuf so turn on that vent ...you will need it.
You can google a homemade Sopapilla recipe ...
or pick up a Sopapilla Mix at the groc. store.

I eat Mexican food at least once a week, but have not tried this place. Looks so tasty. However, I cut the rice. I would be laying o n the floor with one of those drinks.

BJ, All that food look tasty. I like some tex-mex foods. Not all. I like rice in any recipe. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteI love that restaurant too. Will have to try to make sopapillas like you advised. I got used to homemade ones in New Mexico and we don't find good ones like those here in NE Texas.
ReplyDeleteHappy Cinco de Mayo! I know I'll have a margarita or two. I love Mexican food too. xo
ReplyDeleteYour killin me with this Mexican food...my favorite, I think. Anywho, we will be at our Mexican dive tomorrow evening for Cinco de Mayo. We actually have a standing Tequila Tuesday meal there every Tuesday. Happy Cinco de Mayo falls on a Tuesday this year! Lilliana (our favorite waitress) starts making our margaritas when she sees us drive up! If we end up in Austin I'm going to put this restaurant on our "go tos" Ejola!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY CINCO de MAYO . . . I think we should all join you at Rosa's Café and have one huge party!
ReplyDeleteREADY ??????
Oh my, I love enchiladas! What a delicious sounding Margarita recipe, yummy! Okay, now I'm starving and I've already had dinner!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget ~ tomorrow is Taco Tuesday at Rosa's! There is a new one just a few blocks away and it's much better than the one we used to go to. Mexican food is a must ~ could eat it anytime! Enjoy your day tomorrow ~

ReplyDeleteWhat were we thinking? We had tacos last night totally forgetting about Cinco De Mayo today! Happy May 5th :)
ReplyDeleteMe too! Doesn't everyone just love Mexican food? It is the one we can all agree on when trying to choose a restaurant:) Have a blessed day dear B.J. HUGS!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post on this the 5th of May. I like some Mexican food but have to be careful of what I eat (carbs) . Everything look so good. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteI'm finally getting more accustomed to Mexican food, being from the Midwest where we eat meat and potatoes with salt and pepper. Today is special celebration of my hubbys birthday!
ReplyDeleteOh, delicious, bj!! We LOVE mexican food too. Yum, it looks so good. I love it all drenched in cheese--so bad and so good at the same time. I think those margaritas will be on my table tonight! Olé! Linda
ReplyDeleteI just love Mexican food -- maybe tonight we should head to our fave Mexican place or maybe just appetizers and margaritas! Your colorful photos have me in the mood -- and I love the baby princess pic, too!
ReplyDeleteThat drink sounds amazing and so does the food. Nom Nom Nom you are making me hungry again. Hehe
ReplyDeleteYour Mexican yell made me laugh because a local radio station was interviewing random people in Manhattan asking them to do their best Mexican scream. Hahaha
BJ,
ReplyDeleteI am soooo hungry now after seeing your post. OMG that taco plate the hubbster is having looks so yummo! I love Mexican too. I cannot get enough of it. That place looks really cute and the food looks pretty delish. I think I would be in there more than once or twice a month you have good will power girl. Who does not love a good Margarita! Happy Cinco De Mayo.

And no one has great Mexican food like Texas, Ok, NM, and Az! I'm sure that California does, too, but I've not been there. Your plates of food look so good!
ReplyDeleteLOVE Mexican food and their colorful pottery too. Must check out that Sopapilla recipe.
ReplyDeletePS--Little Diana's welcome is adorable.
xoxo
ARRIBA!

ReplyDeleteYour food looks so good. We may be a day late, but may have Mexican food tomorrow. But heck ... does not matter what day it is, Mexican food is good any day. It is also okay to have a margarita for lunch. Right !!!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy week.
