mexican, by mexicans for... everybody

there's a little restaurant called el molcajete that you may have seen in the bi-lo shopping center on the corner of pleasantburg and 291.

i had lunch there a few weeks ago with a couple friends and thoroughly enjoyed it. i ordered a lunch platter with fajitas for just over five dollars. what i got was a tray of assorted vegies, beef, rice, and sauces that could feed a family of eight for a week! the atmosphere is really nice and you know the food must be good when all the mexicans are eating there too.

I've been there a couple of times and liked it also. We'll have to go sometime...

You're the second person to tell me that it's great.

The thing about Mexican restaurants is that you leave smelling like a fajita. I hate that.

As opposed to Mcodor? or Whif o'whopper?

Molcajete is probably the best of the
Mexican eateryito trio, yea, even over
Coronas.

But, heidi, fajitas are so yummy! It's far better than 'strawberry meadow' or 'peach blossom.' They should make halepiƱo scented lotion, now that would sell like hot tomales!

Tim you get props for the phonetic spelling. However...it's jalapeno, not halepino-tricky, I know. The problem with the lotion idea is that the jr. highers eager to fork over their babysitting $$ wouldn't be able to pronounce the name of the hottest lotion.

I'm retracting my first comment about "you're the second person to tell me it's great." And here's why: for some reason, I thought you were referring to the Mexican place behind Little Ceasar's (totally my mistake, BiLo is nowhere to be seen from behind Little Ceasar's). A friend told me about the place behind Little Ceasar's. I have actually been to El Molcajete once and I'm ok with not returning. Alright, I'm shutting up now.

no heidi..keep going..i'm laughing my head off right now...especially at the jalapeno thing. and he even tried so hard..i mean, look at that nice little squiggly accent mark action he threw in there over the 'n'. ;-)
