Despite my poor attempt at Spanglish, I do know me some good-or even decent-Mexican good. Although there are only about 5 Mexican people live in the greater St. Louis metro area, there is no excuse for piss-poor Mexican food every place I try. After a pointless trek out to the hinterland known as the 636 area code, and passing up a place recommended by a coworker (more on that later), and getting lost among the monotonous strip malls, I spotted a little local chain called "El Maguey" another recommendation of a coworker. Looking past the recurring theme of crappy recommendations from coworkers-these are Tim's coworkers, BTW- we continue down this disasterous road and enter.
After eating the hard shell taco, pining over lack of Mexican tap beers, fumbling through the store-bought chips and just wondering what filler was in the guac, I was left buscando-ing for another good Mexican food joint here in the Lou. In Chicago, you can find a most excellent taco at a totally ridiculously named tacqueria named "El Famous Burrito" in a sea of stripmalls, just like the ones here. And yet, there are differences among American stripmalls. Some just don't deliver the goods.
Donde esta la comida Mexicana buena? Ayudame por favor!
