When D said that he'd had a promotion and asked where we should go to celebrate, I mentioned this place and he was totally on board because he says I'm normally boring with food (it's true!).
So off we went to Cafe Mex.icho in Melville. We had a lovely waiter and I loved the grittiness of the place, but the food was just okay. Even the Spur's burritos are better (does Spur still do burritos?).

| I put this one in for my American friends. (I'm always interested in the roads, signs and so on, and I figure other people are too?) |
 |
| my favourite pic - I love it and him! |
 |
| red on red! |
 |
| my burrito - okay, but nothing to write home about |
 |
| we popped over the road for pancakes. Do you know what they told us? The pancake batter is done for the day! Also, THAT CAR!!!!! (I only sneaked two but really, I wanted to take TONS from other angles too) |
 |
| so all we had was tea/ a latter for D |
 |
| we stopped in at Showtime Video (D's favourite movie rental place in Jhb - seriously, he drives 15 km to get here when there are places 500 m from our house) |
 |
| this is the place with the rose petals! |
 |
| I still love this pic - who knew that grey and orange go so well together |
Which is your favourite pic?
PS I'm trying a new thing - to put no more than 10 pics in a blog post. Sadly, I failed here but I had 24 starred so this is good for me!
Congrats to D on his promotion! To many more good things
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh wrong side of the road! Always fun to see.
ReplyDeleteI'm craving Chipotle now and although not terribly authentic, it is tasty! I really need a photo walk.
Congrats to D!
I LOVE Mexican food!!! My new team took me out for lunch last week on my first day, and I chose my favorite Mexican place. I ended up there again on Friday. And then I met friends there for lunch yesterday. The family and I will probably go this weekend. Seriously. Love. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat car is so cool! My A would have a fit. She's so keen on antique cars these days. HA!
And yes, congrats to D!!!
Congrats to D!
ReplyDeleteI was also craving mexican food a few weeks back. Sadly the place I popped into was very disappointing so I've got no suggestions sorry.
Congrats to D! And love that car - just the right colour. AS to photos - love the red on red most but all are great.
ReplyDeleteAnd Mexican and me are not friends - essentially the beans and me are no friends
I've heard that Mexican Fresh is really good. There's apparently one in Craighall and I've seen on at Chilli Lane in Sunninghill. I haven't tried it myself and it's apparently more take-out-ish but maybe give it a try if your craving's that bad?? Congrats to your hubby :-)
ReplyDeleteI am soooo hungry for Mexican food now! Gorgeous photos. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the car picture. I am very adventurous with food but interestingly enough I just don't like mexican food. I think it's because I get bloated from those beans. In CT we have El Burro that EVERYONE raves about. And we have The Fat Cactus. I think my sister went for mexican food some weeks ago. I will ask her where she went to.
ReplyDeleteps...if Spur's burrito is better then that food is VERY bad. I hope that they were at least reasonably priced!
Lovely photos. PE has a lovely Mexican place :-p
ReplyDeleteThat car! Divine!
ReplyDeleteAlso Congrats To D!
I am always keen to meet up but I have NO clue on the hip Mexican places in JHB ;-)
