#18 - The Yellow Cactus

August 2009

One of my dear friends and colleagues from the Southern Indiana Chamber - Tonya - and I enjoyed a fairly typical Mexican lunch today. At the Yellow Cactus, you'll find the traditional Mexican menu with your choice of combination plates.

Chips were hot and tasty and the food was fine. Again, nothing to "write home about."

Tonya and I had a great time of laughter and catching up with life with each other.

#13 - El Charrito (Mexican)

June 2009

In June of 2009, Cumberland, Kentucky hosted a Touched Twice Clinic at the Southwest College. One night after we were doing some planning work...the group went to the best Mexican restaurant in Cumberland. Authentic Mexican. We ordered an assortment of meals and everything was great. The opportunity to share with our new friends was far better than the food though.

#6 - Bazo's (Mexican)

May 2009

I just finished up a huge project with my church - I was the Project Manager for an Easter production with over 1200 volunteers, that ran for 3 weeks, and sold about 65,000 tickets. SHEW!  Well, during my work with the production, I worked closely with a new friend - Deedree.  One day, she mentioned this restaurant in town who was know for their "fish tacos." We both thought that sounded rather disgusting and so the running joke was that if we survived this project/production - we'd go to Bazo's and get fish tacos (ha ha ha.)

So...production was over and we took a couple weeks break and then headed to Dupont Circle to get some fish tacos.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!  So, Deedree and I ordered the 2 Baja Fish Taco combo with double rice and Ms. Deedree also ordered a chicken taco as she was SURE she'd not like the fish taco...and oh yea, can't forget the chili lime chips.  Well, all I'm going to say is at the time of this writing, it's been almost 2 years that Deedree and I have made it a monthly girl's night out to Bazo's to get our fish taco fix.

Through our normal visits, we have gotten to know the owners Nira and Sanjay (pictured above) and they are very delightful as well. Everything is made fresh and from scratch daily and you can really taste the difference. I've taken several folks there since Deedree and I first went there and everyone is just as in love with this place as we are. They have several locations to choose from ... not yet in Indiana.  :(

Keep up the great work Nira and Sanjay!

#2 - Senior Iguana's (Mexican)

January 2009

My dear friend Colleen was up to the fun...trying new restaurants. We started with an easy one - Senior Iguana...a typical Mexican restaurant. Nothing fancy. Nothing special. But good nonetheless.

I did try something outside of my usual "#3" and tried "Arroz Con Camarones" which is succulent grilled shrimp with bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes. Served over Spanish rice. Topped with shredded cheese.  Quite tasty.
