Mezcal (not pictured), Dinner, San Jose
July 3, 2016
After finishing up our Taco Trail in Fresno, we decided to grab dinner in San Jose on the way back home. I was craving a margarita, so we ended up at a place that was somehow known for making a good one. Oh, and they make guacamole to order!
I'm not sure how much I want to say about this place; it was a remarkably disappointing finish to our fabulous 2-day taco excursion. Watery, underwhelming moles (their specialty!) were served with chips in lieu of salsa (bad idea). The margaritas tasted of sub-par sweet and sour mix. The guacamole, the best part of the meal, was unhappily prepared tableside by a disgruntled server. And our sampler of "Oaxacan Appetizers" turned out to be a sad platter of fried assorted things (this was not well-described on the menu - we would generally never order such a thing to begin with) served over browned, wilted lettuce. Yuck!
We would never in a million years go back to this place.
Krispy Kreme, Snack, Daly City
What better way to erase the memory of a terrible meal than a Krispy Kreme donut. As luck would have it, the "Hot Doughnuts Now" sign was aglow when we arrived. Two Original Glazed, please. It doesn't get much better than that.
We don't frequent Krispy Kreme, but sometimes it's called for.
