now, i know that cinco de mayo has a legitimate historical significance (the mexicans defeating the french at the battle of puebla! not to be confused with mexico’s independence day! my chance to show how smart i am! or that i know how to use google!) but for most americans it’s just another chance to eat mexican food. though, who needs one? not i! (really, not i. cliche cliche cliche but i love mexican food so, so much.)
we took the kids out for a night on the town (that sounds much more social and lively and happening than we actually were) for some dinner. not pictured: lindsey who was home making food for her own spanish school project. also not pictured: anders who was asleep in the stroller.
i could write a whole blog post dedicated to the above nachos and how, more than almost any other food, they’re my “when i crave a food” food. they’re my last-meal-request food. they’re, in a word, perfect. am i talking about my loved ones? nope, just them nachos. i’m really sorry you can’t actually dive into that picture with your mouth open. when are the mac-geniuses going to come out with that option? iOS 37.
enough with the dumb jokes. hope you had a good cinco de mayo.

You should write a whole entry on the nachos! There are no great mexican restaurants here in Paris. Make me dream and drool!

I remember missing Mexican when I was in Italy. I think there could be a good business… opening a great Mexican restaurant in Europe!

At the risk of sounding like a creeper, is that Agave? BEST. EVER. (I used to live up that way, so I'm really just gleaning context clues from your posts and totally not a stalker.)
bridget says
BINGO.

This has to be Agave….and if that's the case, you must know that Agave margaritas will be served in Heaven!
also, their nachos are the MOST incredible. So much melted cheddar goodness
Anna D Kart says

Those are agave nachos. Worlds best. My husband and I attempted to eat a whole plate on Sunday. No success, but in all my nacho eating years I've never found ones I like better than theirs! I am just excited to be post pregnancy and back to theirs margs too.

OH MY WORD. Those nachos. This Texas is starving for good nachos. Australians just don't know how to do them right. I'll just keep looking at this picture while drooling!
