Date #77
Chuck's beloved car was in an accident, not his fault, this week, so we are in a rental car tonight, a 2013 Ford Focus. I had a 1998 Focus that I loved, but this isn't even the same car, Ford has really stepped up to the plate. There are 2 screens one for car notifications, and one for radio things. Very nice car, but it's no Stella.
So we started out on our journey to South East Portland tonight from a recommendation from a co-worker. A small Mexican restaurant on Division called Nuestra Cocina. The place was packed, we were told to go to the bar and they would call our name. It was nice to stand in the bar and look out the nice big windows at the beautiful March evening.
After a short wait we were taken to our table and presented soft warm corn tortillas and salsa. Not our usual appetizer at a Mexican restaurant, but really good. We also had 3 small tacos that consisted of white fish and a green salsa. This was so fresh and very tasty, the grilled fish was so good.
Next I ordered gorditas rellenas which were 2 small tortillas stuffed with beans, avocado, green chilis and cotija cheese. Again this dish was so fresh and tasty. I was happy it came with 4 tortillas because I could share one with Chuck.
Chuck ordered enfrijoladas con chorizo verde that consisted of tortillas, cheese, and chorizo. It was really spicy, but so good he couldn't stop eating it. He has to stop and have some of mine because it stopped the burn for a bit.
Because all of the dishes were small, and the server was such a good salesman we had dessert. It was a tortilla heated and stuffed with cream and bananas, and drizzled with caramel sauce. So wonderful!
