Super Tacos and Knitted Knives...

So today some acquaintances and I decided to try out a new taco joint in town, SUPER TACO II. For quite some time we wondered where Super Taco I, or Super Taco Uno as I would call it was located. But, due to their wonderful advertising and clever naming, we assumed if they provided an enjoyable enough dining experience to run two locations, the food must be delicious. So, we enter Super Taco Dos, and are greeted by a wonderful handwritten sign on notebook paper that says "No Public Bathrooms." They didn't even splurge for the printer paper, or colorful construction paper; just a piece of notebook paper. Wide rule, and not even the perforated type, were talking 67 cent spiral notebook paper. Anyways, we get seated, and i was excited to see a plasma T.V. hung on the wall playing "A Nights Tale." Excellent. Oh yeah, we were the only ones in the place. Anyways, the menus were all written in Spanish first (they did have English subtitles) but the designer of these menus gets a D- grade for organization, ease of reading, and spell checking (must like this blog). My favorite item on the menu was "Osters and Chesse." I held back my urge to enjoy the shellfish plate and went with the standard beef burrito with shredded beef. (They didn't have a carne esada burrito! but i must remember that this wasn't De'Leons) So we all recieved our fine dishes that looked wonderful, however upon first bite we all noticed that our meals were lacking a pivotal ingredient,...flavor. Oh well. My dish was the cheapest at around $5.50. Now those who went with the enchilada platter, they dropped almost $10. Yikes. Needless to say none of us finished our meals, but a few of us politely grabbed to go boxes as to not offend the cooks. These boxes were then thrown away at the near by gas station as we satisfied our hunger with a soda and candy bars. In short, Super Taco, was far less super, and more of a Robin in the world of Batman taco joints. Lets hope Super Taco III (tres) improves on the fine dining experience.

On another note, this lunch break provided the opportunity of an acquaintance of mine to disclose that he has recently taken up knitting as a hobby. He proudly proclaimed that he spent $50 last night on knitting supplies and said this was a productive hobby to occupy his free time. Sounds all good and fine right? I thought so too. That was until later on he decided to threaten another acquaintance by saying he was going to knit a knife and hide in the dark waiting for her, at which point he would pounce. I think I will also take up this new hobby and knit a gun, because we all know to never bring a knitted knife, to a knitted gun fight....Oh productive days!
