Let’s go to a Cantina!!

On our mini vacay during Labor Day weekend , my sisters and i decided to go Mexican.  We originally had plans to go to Mexico but scrapped the plans and enjoyed a fun filled staycation.  So in memory of  going to Mexico, we decided on visiting a Mexican Restaurant for the fun of it. So we decided on a restaurant called Cantina Laredo, we’ve had our eyes on this restaurant for a while but never really went out our way to check it out. This wasn’t your ordinary TacoBell or On the Borders Mexican Food this was Authentic Gourmet Mexican Food. They are reasonably priced but some items in my opinion was a bit on the pricey side. At each table they had a bowl  with an avocado and lemon for their top shelf guacamole that the waiters do right at the table. Just out of curiosity i asked the waiter “how many avocados will be used for this $10 guacamole?” he said “this one avocado and lemon would be used to make it”. Knowing that  the night before i seen hass avocados 10 for $10 at Publix we passed on the “top shelf” guacamole and they brought us out complimentary salsa and chips. I know a steal when i see one, and that my friends was not one… I ordered the tacos de pescado aka fish tacos, which came with Mahi Mahi, marinated vegetables, queso fresco and chipotle aioli. .It came with some yellow rice and beans but one thing that i notice from every Mexican restaurant I’ve been to is that their rice are kinda like plate fillers. It fills up half the plate but no one really eats it , the only exception being Chipotle but that’s another story for another day. None the less Cantina Laredo was great, my sisters and i experienced a  little bit of Mexico and i finally got my fish tacos fix.  Life simple pleasures at its best 🙂
