A dumb story about a bad restaurant.

The other day I helped my dad and my dad's wife's mom paint a clubhouse for the kids. She took us out to a mexican restaurant afterwards as thanks. She said it was good shit, but I beg to differ. Now, every mexican restaurant I've been to has been owned and operated by mexicans, so I may have been spoiled, but this place was an embarrassment. My go-to order for any new mexican place is a bean burrito. It's a classic and hard to fuck up. I open the menu to the burrito section and...no bean burrito. Warning bells start blaring in my head.

I check out what they do have and notice most options include two burritos, while the ones that are just one are "XL". I've never seen this before either. Usually when I get a burrito it's about the size of a brick and packed full of beans, rice, cheese, and usually pico de gallo. I see no mention of any of these ingredients in any of the burritos. I assume it's just because they all come standard with it. I was wrong.

I get an order of two chicken burritos, again, hard to fuck up. My plate arrives and these are not burritos, these are just rolled up tacos. They are literally soft taco tortillas, not burrito tortillas. The "burritos" had the following in them: chicken, green peppers, sauteed onions, and green beans. Not refried beans, green fucking beans. No rice, no cheese, no pico de gallo, no sauce of any kind(and no hot sauce of any kind anywhere in the restaurant either, which is absurd). I shake my head in shame.

The so-called burritos came with a side of mexican rice. Yet again, hard to fuck up, yet they somehow pulled it off. Mixed in with the rice I saw bits of green and orange. To my surprise, they put mushy peas, mushy carrots, and more green beans in the fucking rice. I sat in awe at the abomination before me. This is mexican food made by someone that has only heard of it from a distant relative that had only heard of it secondhand from a child that ate it once in alaska.

I kept my mouth shut since I wasn't paying for it, but I will never return to this charade, this absolute mockery, of a restaurant.

I thought it was okay. The jump scares were really annoying after awhile tho.

When I go to buy a car, I'm not looking to convert any hands, just give me the keys, what the fuck.
Hard to deliver mail if you're on the left side of the car. And since I have to use my own vehicle, I have to convert it to rhd or deal with moving over my center console all damn day. I found a couple cheaper places, which is great. Just waiting to hear back from the people at the post office if they think the new car will work before I tell the guy I'll buy it.
That makes sense

Reading the short story, seeing the first trailer, knowing how dark it could be, i was very excited. Then I saw they slapped it with PG13 a couple weeks before release and knew it was neutered, so my interest died.

It's shitty in almost every possible aspect just dumb as shit. And for the love of God nobody is going to enjoy a movie that is so dark that you can't see anything.

Didn't look dark to me, but I watched it on my laptop, so who knows?

I think the only time I ever had Mexican food outside of California was in New Mexico somewhere in Albuquerque. It wasn't bad, but definitely a tier below the typical joints in Southern California. There are two places in the town I live in that really feels unbeatable. Best Mexican food ever.

I have had that rice you mentioned, too. The orange rice with the peas and carrots and shit. It's fine on occasion, but definitely not up to par with the real shit.

Finally added my avatar and signature back. I took them down like 2 years ago while in the middle of thinking up a new combo, and just never went through with it.
