Off to Boca Loca for Supper before heading to the game, been meaning to check out that place for a long while.

Juan's 232-8 Ave SW right below Grand and Toy.
Don Juan, introduce yourself he loves people.
He used to be around the corner on 1rst st.
Sold him some Tequila once and he was/is quite receptive to another idea of mine.
Great food - great people.

Mohave Grill in the Deerfoot Inn and Casino is a good Tex-mex resteraunt. Though I think their location in Red Deer is better.

Boca Loca was closed today for some reason, headed over to El Sombrero instead. Good food, my only complaint is that the chunks of peppers in my burrito were way too big, it's like biting into a pepper like an apple and chewing on it.

I went by Tecate Grill the other day to see when they were going to re-open...They're not. There was a sign on the door that they "had to leave the Calgary market due to lack of staff". That sucks. One of my favorite things to do was to go to Tecate's then catch a movie at Sunridge. I'll miss that place...

I quite liked this place. Great place for lunch.

I thought I'd eaten good Mexican before, but then I went to Old Town San Diego. There's really nothing that compares anywhere in Alberta.

Tecate is now closed I believe. Don't know if it is re-opening but we tried to go there last week and it was shut down.

Si.

Now we're talking.

I was thinking of this place:

San Diego Restaurant Association's Gold Medallion Award five years in a row.
Finest Mexican Restaurant

And yes, we've cleaned up and opened the doors since the fire!

Man, that totally sucks. Now ,the only Tex-Mex in that price range is food court Mexican.

That's exactly where I went. Unbelievable food and the price was good, too.
