{the maxi cab margarita at Mi Cocina}I love Mexican food a lot. It began in high school when I started taking Spanish classes, and going to local Mexican restaurants for practice. It grew in college when I was a waitress at a local Mexican restaurant, and it was solidified by living in Southern California for 11 years, and taking several trips to Mexico while I was there.
Now it's hard to find local places that really measure up to the real thing. Every time I have a chance to get to a big city, especially ones that have a large hispanic and Mexican population, I take every advantage to eat real, delicious comidas con sabor.
In Texas, they do it right with Tex Mex. We went to 4 restaurants over the weekend that served either Tex Mex or Mexican or both. The first was Mi Cocina in Highland Park. They serve a margarita called the Maxi Cab, that has a two drink MAXimum. Yikes! And the food was perfect. After a lousy plane ride, a marg and an authentic taco and enchilada really hit the spot. Muchas Gracias Tejas!
