Missed Connections

I ate dinner last night at Rocking Horse Cafe Mexicano with Lauren. What rocking horses have to do with Mexican food is beyond me. The food was solid, but lacking balance. The gazpacho was good, but the mahi mahi with citrus served with rice and beans on a banana leaf suffered from being too spicy. The spiciness overwhelmed the other flavors. The key lime tart was similarly heavy-handed and clumsy, though the graham cracker crust was a nice touch. The warm chocolate cake with cinnamon ice cream was much more successful. And the guacamole was good.

Mimi asked me what I did last night and I told her. She said that she walked by the restaurant around 8.30pm. We were seated outside, but checking the time realized that we probably weren't seated until just a few minutes after. Had my friend and I been seated moments earlier, we would have run into Mimi. It would have been the second time this week I would have run into a friend of mine on the street. I never run into people I know on the street.

Mimi suggested when next we meet we try Suenos. Posted by eku at July 2, 2004 11:57 AM
