While we were in Florida this week, my Sainted wife announced that it was a holiday - "Cinque de Mayo" (I think I got that right) which apparently has to do with sandwiches. Nonetheless, we decided to go to a Mexican restaurant.
Mexican cuisine is not unlike Italian - they combine some small set of ingredients in slightly different ways to make it look like there is more than one item on the menu. But, as with their southern European counterparts, there are strong feelings about how well this stuff turns out, and since we were in an unfamiliar place, I consulted Google for help.
One restaurant really stood out in the reviews, so off we went. Arriving safely (thank you Google Maps), we discovered one of those hole-in-the-wall places that doesn't take reservations because word-of-mouth keeps them hopping. However, apparently this holiday concentrates more on Mexican liquor than food, so no hopping. Worse, this hole in the wall was in a strip mall along side of a tattoo joint and Stuff-You-Like liquors.
Google skipped that part. But they nailed the food.
