jfbSome of you may remember my affection for a Mexican restaurant I used to eat at when I worked for Liquid Audio, my dismay when it mysteriously vanished, and my delight when its descendant resurfaced at a countertop in a bar in Palo Alto.
It turns out that if you Google for the name of the restaurant and the city it was in, my journal entry about it is the only hit. Which is probably why I got mail a couple of days ago from a "HUGE fan" of the original restaurant, currently living in Boston but planning to move back to San Francisco, who wanted to know where he could find the new one.
Well, of course I was glad to help. I gave him the information I had, he called them up to say hi, and learned that they'd actually opened up a second restaurant in Palo Alto... which I promptly looked up, but it turned out it wasn't listed in Google or the Yahoo Yellow Pages. He'd copied the name down wrong, and hadn't gotten full directions because he figured he could look it up on the web.
But he did have the street it was on and the general vicinity, so today for lunch I drove up to Palo Alto, found the street, and drove down it until I spotted a Mexican restaurant with a familiar design motif. (Also, a poster that said "OPEN FOR BREAKFAST Abierto Para Desayuno!" and had pictures of Budweiser and the U.S. flag.) It's a nice little restaurant with lots of sunlight, and the enchiladas are as good as ever.
