Tacoma

It seems like a shame to say tonight's dinner was a gut buster, because I think of "gut busters" as nasty slop that merely fills you up. Tonight's tacos were superb and deceivingly filling. I'm quickly succumbing into a taco-induced coma -- Tacoma?

Day 046/365

The taco dinner ($9.99) offers 3 tacos of your choice, along with rice, refried beans, and salad. A few of the numerous filling choices are barbacoa, carne asada, avocado, tripe, lengua, and chorizo. Tonight, I ordered picadillo, avocado, carne asada, and lengua.

The picadillo was slightly sweet, a somewhat unusual complement with meat and potatoes. Avocados were served fresh. Carne asada, the hidden one of the four, was good; however, compared to the other three this evening, it was my least favorite. It suffered from being the boring one of the lot because it was neither spicy, hot, sweet, or tender. My favorite is lengua, pillowy soft and tender strips of meat.

Bug, the night owl, lies contentedly, sprawled across the bed. His deep, even respiration is like a metronome, beckoning me to that head-nodding, watery land of dreams.
