Pancho's

The best Mexican food I've had since I left Texas, I found in New York:

After we were finished for the day in Amsterdam, Bill and I drove back down to Albany and had dinner. We walked into my boss's room/conference room where an all-day meeting was still taking place. He whispered to Bill, "There's pizza over there if you're hungry." Bill replied, "Oh we already ate."
"At Pancho's." I said. He said loudly enough to stop the meeting, "WHAT??? They have a Pancho's here?"
"Not like ours," I told him, "But it was damn good. Best I've had since Texas."

He's going tomorrow.

There's no little flag, and it's not buffet. It's just...wonderful. The frijoles were some of the best I've had even in Texas. They used the white queso for their enchiladas. I want to go back. But what if...you are right? Now I'm not saying that Albany is a hotbed of underground Mexican cuisine?...but you have a point. I'll keep looking, but I bet this one is the diamond in the rough ;)

hey you:

if you're going to reply to my comments on LJ, head over to my Xanga.

And by the way, I have found a new drink and can't feel my face. It's called a Washington Apple. 1/2 Crown, 1/2 Sweet n' Sour or Sour Apple (whichever is more convient) and a spalsh of cranberry on the rocks. Best fucking drink ever. Try one. Or two. Or ten.

Why won't you try one?

Many reasons. Here's one: The only thing I want with my Crown, is ice.

Understandable. You are a more dinstinguished gentleman then I. As you know, because I am a sissy, I need to water my alcohol down.

Ahh... if you say so...

I don't consider you a sissy if you're willing to admit you prefer lady drinks.

That's a whole different category. :)

Right on brother.

But on occasion, I do enjoy a little C&C. It was just meant to be that way...

That's kind of a lady drink, no?

Just drink the Crown, man. Then chase it with the schnapps if you really want the apple flavor. Goldschläger would be better - but each to his own.

Mmmm, Mexican. While I have a few favorites here, I have a hunch I have truly never had real "Mexican." I wonder what it's like... ;)

It like dying during sex, and going to heaven, over and over again.

Panchos is usually like this too, except that its more like dying from some awful disease you got during sex with a toothless street hooker over and over again.

If you're 'raising the flag' about Panchos, we seriously need to get you back to Texas.
