A wise old man. Your name wouldn't happen to be Albert, would it?

The el Fenix near downtown didn't used to be too bad. I still say, however, that Hererra's on Maple is the best Mezkin food anywhere at any price.

I haven't been there for about 15 years. It was very good back then, though.

I'll have to say that Juana Gallo at the north end of Love Field is tops, but you have to speak Texican to order anything.

Outstanding, fubar. Not at all the most boring blog, either; I've got you beat there.
and 2 class points. One for the story, the other for helping the guy up off the floor.

How does one speak Texican? "You're a damned idiot." *chuckles*

I would have eaten my food while watching that disabled kid without skipping a beat.
Maybe that's why I'm fat.
Nice post,btw.

Cut out the humor and this will look like a Ray Bradbury story in his golden age. The best part is, of course, the old man story, but, I also find intriguing how many young girls are, in fact, religious extremists these days. The entire meaning of the story was concentrated in the old man’s “last” words.

For me it was in the warning opener, "Turn back now."

Nice one, Fu.

Awesome, fubar. Truly awesome. I swear that one day you might be half as good as someone who is half the man of someone half as good as me.

The old El Fenix downtown used to be one of the best Tex-Mex places to go. There also was one in Inwood Village (near the old Inwood Theater) that was really great. I still contend that Ojeda's on Maple is the closest thing to the perfect family run Tex-Mex place to be found. tastes don't fluctuate wildly on a day to day basis. the salsa and food are still closely guarded and made under the strict eye of the Ojeda family. Their Salsa is the perfect mix of jalapenos, tomatoes, and cilantro.

Some of my favorite Tex-Mex places over the years in Dallas/Ft Worth have been:

Joe T. Garcias
Ojeda's
Tupinamba
Tamale's (one of Gene Streets original mexican places)
La Jaivita
Chuy's
Herrera's Cafe (the original on Maple)
The Blue Goose Cantina (lower greenville)
Uncle Julio's
Abuelo's
Pappasito's

Pappasitos is the same folks who own Pappadeaux's around the country.

I remember when we used to go to Tupi's in high school, cuz we could drink there without gettin carded. Same with Tamales, actually.
