On the Menu:

Drink: Pepe Zavada Margarita. Pepe Zavada Repasodo Tequila, Cointreau and 100% Lime Juice.

Appetizer: Bob Armstrong Dip. "Little Bob". Queso with fresh Guacamole and taco beef. Right on. I don't know why I have never had this combination together before, but it is awesome.



Dinner: Taco's Al Carbon. Beef Tenderloin wrapped in flour tortillas, with a guacamole salad. Served with Frijoles a la Charra, Chile con Queso, and Pico de Gallo.

This was the recommendation from the waiter as the "best thing" on the menu. It did not disappoint. The beef tenderloin was excellent.
