Restaurant #7: A Long Road Ahead

With Restaurant #5 we finished eating our way down the first street.  You see, we are on a Cuisine Quest to eat at every restaurant in our town, and we started on a one mile street close to home.

The next road we will tackle is two miles long.  It has used car lots, convenience stores, taverns, strip malls, a high school, businesses, apartments, the city police department, and a park.

And 17 restaurants!

Seventeen.  That's a lot.  And only 4 are chains (Domino's Pizza, Subway, Jack in the Box, and Wienerschnitzel).  One is a coffee house, which we will skip, and one is a diner not open in the evening.

11 restaurants to visit.  And here's the worst part:  Five of them are taco shops!

Now I like a good taco shop as much as the next person.  But there are too many!  On our first street, two restaurants were taco shops.  Our first one, we gave one fork up.  Our second one, being more picky, we gave two forks down.

I'm just going to cut to the chase. This taco shop had friendly service, large portions, and happy regular customers. But the beans were not the way we like, and the guacamole was thin, and there was not a soda fountain. For these reasons, two forks down.

I’ll show you the food we had, because it looks yummy, and wasn’t bad.

the flour tortillas are warm and soft to go with my chicken fajitas!

my husband’s beef had the right amount of spice

Somewhere out there is our new favorite taco shop… but in how many restaurants do we have to eat to find it?

Two miles is a long road to eat along. What does your town have too much of?
