Taqueria Cancun

This is our all time favorite place to eat. Even when you are broke you can afford this place. We ordered Torta and fries. It comes with soup, rice and refried beans. John ordered tongue. I got the beef. John always spills something on his shirt and today was no exception.
You can't see the van but it is parked next to the red pickup on the right.

We were out driving out in Katy and saw this caboose. So we stopped to look at it and noticed the county line marker. You can kinda see the van is parked in Harris county. Look below the 17 on the caboose and you can see front passenger side headlight.

Went to Rudi Lechner's for my birthday. Thought we would revisit our German heritage. We ate German food and listened to German music. At one point we even heard a little yodeling.

I ordered Jaegerschnitzel, spaetzle, and red cabbage. John ordered Weinerschnitzel, fried potatoes, and mixed vegetables. They could have been more generous with the potatoes. Food was delicious. It was more expensive than our usual budget. But it was a special day so we splurged.

Sweet Mesquite

We both ordered the Buffalo Burger basket. John ordered onion rings. I ordered fries. John tought the onion ring were good but too small. I actually like the smaller sliced onion rings. The fries were really good. The buns they used on the burgers are extemely good. I like the texture and sweetness of the bread. We both decided that this is a great place to eat. John wants to try the chicken fried steak sandwich next time.

We went driving around Houston last weekend and noticed this lady sitting by the street. Actually it is at a lawyers office. Very unusual there are railroad cars painted bright colors. I suppose if I ever need a lawyer I'll check with him first.

Kenny and Ziggy's

We were driving around Hoston and decided to stop at the Container Store. I noticed Kenny and Ziggy's in the same shopping center and decided to try it out. I saw them featured on PBS and Houston Press named it the best deli for 2005.

We ordered a club sandwich and split it. The sandwich was huge. The place is more expensive than the places we normally go. They had three pickles in a bowl for an appitizer. The flavor was alittle stange. Kinda like a Polish pickle but not exactly. John ate them so they weren't too bad. The only complaint is they didn't refill our drinks. We were sitting at the table right next to the drink station and you would have thought someone would have noticed.

Lucky Village
This is a favorite place to eat. It has the largest buffet I have ever seen. My favorites are the Cantonese noodle, General Joe's and sesame chicken. Other favorites are the fried corn and stuffed crab claws. Always eat too much and walk out feeling miserable.
