My woman absconded with our daughter this weekend and visited an old high school friend who had just recently given birth to her first child. The friend is some big deal lawyer in Yakima, WA but they grew up together in the loser city of Boise, ID. In any case they patronized this Mexican place in Yakima and my woman took these pictures for me because this establishment looks right up my alley. Let's check it out:
Pretty normal signage going on here. Nothing spectacular. I did google "Xochimilco" and it is a real word that refers to a section of town in Mexico City. So far we are doing pretty well.
Here is my lady's friend's husband. From what I hear he is pretty Mexican and has an accent so I would totally trust this guy's choice of restaurant. As you can see, we have the obligatory Dos Equis with a little lime action. I don't know what is in his hand but that looks pretty phallic to me, almost like that
Shake Weight (watch the video, seriously). Can you tell what that is on his plate?
It's a fucking whole fish! I am going to go ahead and guess that this fine specimen here is a red snapper. That is the fish I most commonly come across in Mexican places. All euphemisms aside, I would totally put my mouth all over that red snapper.
Here is the aftermath. I give him a B- but only because it is not picked to the bone. I would have sucked that red snapper dry. All in all, I will have to accompany my lady next time so I can check this place out. Or just find a full service Mexican place in Portland that doesn't suck. Patronize it.

Well, the beans look like they have fresh cheese on them, not crappy shredded cheddar, point 1. The rice has a proper color, not super-red like they do in Tex-Mex places, another point. The salsa looks fresh, no tomatoes from a can here, 2 points for that! I would totally go to that place. Order some chicken with Mole and show it here, lets see if they get that right ;)
Love the pics
btw we took stuff
Awesome. I will definitely have to check it out then!
Took what?
Love the looks of that whole fish. One of the best meals of my life involved a whole fish, crispy outside and tender inside. Heaven. On another note, I now think I need a scary looking taxidermied fish to hang on my wall...
I love whole fish too. A good reminder that it used to be a swimming. I like barracudas.
their mole is EXCELLENT, and they use cotja cheese sparingly...awesome place.
