Craving Mexican

So we both have been craving Mexican since we got here but salsa is ridiculously priced and if you can find tortilla chips they are very expensive too.  There is a restaurant up the street from our house that has 'Kids Eat Free on Wednesdays.'  We had noticed on the menu before that they had nachos.  So we thought this would be an excellent way to satisfy our Mexican craving and not have a big bill. 

The description for the nachos sounded really good.  It mentioned, 'zippy salsa with guacamole.'  We both ordered the nachos from the starters (appetizers) menu and then ordered the chicken nuggets meal for both boys.  The waitress had a funny look on her face and asked if we realized that tonight kids eat free.  We both agreed and said that's why we came!  She then informed us that we would each have to order a meal in order for the kids to eat free.  I told her we needed a few more minutes.  She came back and asked if we were ready.  I saw on the menu that the nachos were also available as a meal.  I verified with her that the nachos would work and she said they would.  In the meantime Erin decides she wants a quesadilla instead of nachos.  As the waitress walks away she gets another funny look on her face and comes back and says, "this will still not work."  She said both items are still considered starters.  I pointed out on the menu that we ordered the 'meal' portion of both dishes under the 'meal' category and not starters.  She stood there for a minute and then decided she could make an exception.

The food finally comes and I just had to smile when the nachos were set in front of me.  The tortilla chips mentioned on the menu are miniature cheesy Doritos and the zippy salsa is spaghetti sauce!!  It was an interesting combo that somewhat satisfied our Mexican craving!

On Saturday we actually found tortilla chips at the market.  We bought 2 bags since this is the first time we have seen them and they are just slightly larger than a small individual bag.  Those 2 bags cost us $10 but it was well worth it!!  We made some homemade guacamole that afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed our high-priced Mexican snack!
