Have you ever gone into a library to read a book or do a little research for a project and ended up staring at all the weird, ghetto fabulous happenings going on, with a book in your hand?
I think I'm going to start a new adventure in my life. It is going to be, "The Best of the Mexican World Tour" right here in Cleveland, Ohio. My tour of everything Mexican is going to start at a little known Bedford hotspot...Los Gallos. This restaurant/ hotspot, that is little known. Hmmm...is that an oxymoron? I'm not sure. It is the best thing to grace this small town since the fire of the 1890's. I'm not morbid, but it is when the new regime took over in Bedford and a new class of thinkers moved in to rebuild and unitize the town. It's when the famous house that held the Underground Railroad was built and the towns people really felt a sense of togetherness. Not to mention Abraham Lincoln's casket was brought through Bedford' newly remodeled and now famous for it, train station. Anyhooooo, hoooo! Los Gallos has the best margaritas in town and I feel, the best fajitas. I've mentioned both of them before in earlier blogs. They are the inspiration behind the new Tour, actually. I am going around all of the northeast Ohioian, Mexican restaurants/bars to discover the best of all things Mexican.
My next stop is a place I can't remember the name to. It is right next door to Case. I'll google it and get back to you. I may add some recipes to my Favorite Recipes page, so keep an eye open for that.

If a tour guide is needed, go no further than your own home. I am the Google Master and I do like Mexican Beer. I can give you a biased opinion on the food (as I hate all Mexican) but I will still sit there with you-maybe I will write down your contemplations as you spew them from your brain soaked in margarita's.
ReplyDeleteAhhh...but there is something about the Mexican atmosphere that makes us angry. Is it the brown skin that looks like dirt ground in so much it can not be cleaned from the surface? Or the fact they speak a dialect of Spanish unknown to me and a shiver runs down my spine everytime a server leans over to whisper something in the ear of the bartender while glaring at me with beady black eyes.
And why is it always so dark in the restaurants? Are they trying to hide something from the patrons besides the fact they don't necessarily use chicken and beef in their fajita's and taco's. Who really orders taco's from a Mexican restaurant anyway? I believe the tour shall begin in April??
