Mexican Martinis & Breakfast Tacos

Last night, I went to Trudy's for a few Mexican Martinis with my friend ,Varsha, and her friend, Leena (I think that's her name). Supposedly Trudy's serves the best Mexican Martinis in town. If that's the case, I've probably set the bar a little too high. If you've never had a Mexican Martini, it takes the best of parts of a margarita and the best of a martini combined into one drink. At Trudy's, you are only limited to purchasing two of them, but that's because it's like 3 drinks in one martini shaker. I'm not a margarita fan because it's too sour, which upsets my stomach. And martinis are usually too salty for my taste. But the combination of the two somehow makes it 10 times better.

We sat on the patio of the bar because it was 70 degrees out last night. Yes, 70 degrees at night! The entire day was amazing. I took advantage of the nice day to do yardwork. Spent 2 hours raking leaves. And another 2 hours trimming the 18 bushes in my front yard. Then topped of the sunny day by getting dominated by my friend, Jethro, in disc golf at the Brushy Creek course near my house.

But probably the best part of yesterday was going to La Mexicana Bakery after the bars. Just a few miles south of downtown this bakery stands alone in residential and light commercial neighborhood with it's vivid neon signs (except it just says "cana" at night because the other lights are burned out). Anyways, I wasn't too sure what were going to order at a bakery in the middle of the night. But Varsha recommended getting some breakfast tacos. Not ever having a breakfast taco, I just ordered one. Big mistake...I should have ordered like 6 because it was so good. I highly recommend the chorizos egg breakfast taco (only $1.00), composed of chorizo sausage and scrambled eggs in a tortilla, topped off with some salsa. Mmmm, muy bueno.
