Living in Bulgaria, I dream of Mexican food. I miss Mexican food living in Sofia. Nothing is as good as the Mexican food I grew up eating in Walla Walla.

A huge part of this is due to the fact that where I grew up, Mexicans make Mexican food.

There's a lot to choose from when it comes to Mexican food. One day last week I ended up eating Mexican for both lunch and dinner. Yes, that's two meals in one day. And I loved it.

I started out at a local taco truck. I had the Walla Walla sweet onion beef burrito. It was huge. It was also delicious. I ate the whole thing although I probably would have been better served eating the Walla sweet onion tacos. Two would have been the perfect amount of food.

We went to my dAd's favorite taco truck La Monarca--the butterfly. Yum. Yum.

Then for dinner I ended up at a local restaurant and a family favorite--El Sombrero. The second time around, I ordered vegetable enchiladas and chowed down on chips and salsa. Oh and I also managed to order a large margarita. I just didn't realize how big the large was when I ordered it and then convinced my family (and extended family) to jump on board as well. <em>Oh well</em>.

These things happen sometimes and it was wonderful.
