Time flew by and on Thursday I had lunch at Mexicali restaurant close to the office. I ordered the number 2 meal. It was enchilada, tamal, and taco with rice and beans. See here: mexicalifood Everything was very tasty. This was the closest to what Mexican food that I'm familiar with tastes and looks like. I do have extensive experience with eating....just look at me! LOL. The Tamal was larger than what I'm used to and had shredded meat in it and was covered in an enchilada type sauce. The enchilada was standard fare and had onions in it just like I like it. Rice was almost like home made...that's a huge plus in my book. Beans were the same. Atmosphere was great as you can see from the pictures. The only thing I thought was that the price was very high for what's basically grains and sauces with a little meat. Corn, rice, beans, more corn, more corn, pork, and beef, and sauce. The same plate in Texas would have been about half the same price. Other than that I can't say how much I really enjoyed this. It was very good.
My dinner meal was spent with April, Jessie, Trudy, Sam, Don and Sam's cousin. Shogun Palace is a Tappenyaki and Sushi restaurant. I'm not really one for Sushi but I did try a lot of it. We had Dragon Rolls, Spider Rolls, and a California Roll. I also had Teriyaki Beef with bean sprouts and rice. All eaten by the way with chopsticks. Yes I can do it! LOL. I did also have some of the Sashimi, and a couple of other things I had no idea about. I enjoyed the majority of what I had. I don't have any pictures of this but everything was beautiful. I didn't really look at the prices (my bosses paid, Thanks to both Don and Sam.) Atmosphere is standard for this type of restaurant. As I passed by the Tappenyaki area I was impressed by the tricks they did. You don't see a lot of that at Ichiban here or Bonsai Garden for that matter.
