Sueños de Comida

We arrived at the restaurant two mintes late. I make a concerted effort to get to places at least a few minutes early so I was feeling a bit rushed. I was instantly reminded of bygone margaritas and days filled with no responsibilities upon entering the cantina. As you enter Su Casa the bar opens up to the left and the restaurant is to the right. I've been going here for almost nine years and I just recently entered the restaurant for the first time.

The United States v. Mexico soccer game was playing in the bar area. Families, young surfers and old washed-up locals were all enjoying themselves over cold beer and chips and salsa.

Though I desparately wanted to join the soccer crowd to the left I entered the restaurant area to the right. I inched my way into the ten person seat and scanned the table for chips. Instantly there was a pitcher of cadillac margaritas in front of me and I found myself gorging on chips, salsa and delicious margaritas no longer concerned with the soccer crowd.

Two tacos, rice, beans, more chips and an hours worth of conversation had me as full and content as I could be. I made a mental note to start coming here again more often. Although now maybe I've graduated to head right to the restaurant instead of left with the soccer crowd. Nah...the soccer crowd is more fun.
