That Little Mexican Cafe

Friends,

Yesterday I ventured to the final burrito stop in the Edgewater neighborhood - That Little Mexican Cafe. I don't have a picture of the actual restuarant so I stole one of a restaurant with the same name in Evanston, IL. I wonder if they are owned by the same people? Probably not.

I sat at the bar to order and watch Holy @$%&*! on Spike TV and was greeted by a blond haired female bartender. I found this curious since most Mexicans are dark capped. Even more curious she spoke with a Polish accent. I didn't realize that there were blond Poles from Mexico. What a learning experience for me!

I must say that the burrito was quite tasty. I went with a grilled chicken burrito. The burrito had the aforementioned grilled chicken, sour cream, lettuce, cheese, and pico de gallo (when I was married and living in Venice Beach, I was a stones throw from Pico de Gallo Avenue.). The meal also came with a side of rice and a side of beans. I must say that these beans were more bean-like and less poo-like than the beans I had at Taqueria Uptown. I'm thinking this means that the beans at Taqueria Uptown really were poo! Good thing I only ate four or five forkfulls. Anyway, the burrito was delicious although a bit pricey. Normally I don't like to spend more than $6 on a burrito but in this economy it makes sense to spend money on things like burritos in order to stimulate commerce. So I bit the bullet and spent $9. It was well worth it. I give this burrito an 8.

Until next time....
