A South-of-the-Border Birthday Treat

It’s food trip Friday! Are you ready to be enticed once again?

Mexican food is among the few cuisines that the husband, the little one and I all totally agree on. If one of us would like to have Mexican on an eat out, we would all approve of it without further questions.

Last Saturday, the husband decided to give his only daughter (my stepdaughter) a birthday treat. I suggested a few restaurants that we’ve never been to, but the husband wanted to go back to this Mexican restaurant where we celebrated the little one’s birthday two years ago. The restaurant is probably the most popular among the Mexican restaurants in the city. The name? Papa’s and Beer.

One thing that makes them a hit aside from the delicious foods is their style of entertaining a birthday celebrant. The waiters and waitresses serenade the celebrant with a Spanish song (their version of Happy Birthday) then put a sombrero (Spanish for hat) on their head and give them an ice cream treat. My stepdaughter wasn’t given a sombrero that night and we really didn’t know why. Nevertheless, she got her free ice cream. Part of the free ice cream they smeared over her lips giving her a mustache. I think that was good enough; no sombrero necessary.

Grilled Chicken Breast Combo Fajitas

The little one’s choice. Is it obvious how he loves chicken? That white liquid on top was melted cheese.

Enchiladas Rancheras

This was the husband’s plate. Their servings are what I consider huge, but guess what? Not for the husband, I think because he ate all that was on his plate. It was left sparkling and squeaky clean without any residue. He must have licked it! LOL.Just kidding. But he did eat it all. I truly admire his good appetite and big storage space. Hee-hee. We always joke about the storage or the room in the tummy because mine’s teeny-weeny tiny. (“,)

Breaded Shrimps

Seafood for me. But of course! And some avocado – my favorite fruit.

Pardon the photos but as usual, I only used my iPhone to snap these. But you can still tell how scrumptious the foods were, can’t you?

Delicioso!
