Dos Equis

Portland has so many places to dine and most of these restaurants are establishments that I have, as of yet, not frequented. However, my outlook on life, and many other things, holds very true here --there's always tomorrow! Today, we're taking a peek inside and out at what many (if you believe in restaurant reviews... be very careful when treading in these waters) say is one of the least known but best places for Mexican cuisine in the city-- Mesa Verde. Now, Mexican food is often best when spicy. I'm a VERY sensitive guy, well, at least in the food department. Believe it of not, ketchup and most mild mustards can give my palate issues. When I eat Mexican, it's mild with nothing even approaching 'warm'. However, a Dos Equis I seem to be able to handle, no problem.
Today, I'll raise a cold, Dos Equis to one of my best buds P- on his birthday! See you later today, guy!

  3. Maine is a long way from Mexico but if there is a bottle of hot sauce on the table I could make the best of it. Seriously, a lot of good Mexican food is not spicy at all. Enjoy your dinner.

  4. That is the way I eat Mexican food too! I can't tolerate anything too hot or spicy. I like this shot, especially the reflection.

  6. I don't like hot food either. My mom didn't and then moved to Texas and the last time I was there she was eating the hottest peppers she could find at the super market.

  7. Sounds like some swinging times are about to begin. Although I love Mexican food, I'm beginning to tire of it after two months of it. Never tire of the cervezas, tho.

  8. I don't know much about Mexican food, but the little I know is awfully good!

  9. Have you tried a Mexican dish called "mole".
    Not the ground digging animal, but "chocolate chicken"!
    Ha ha...
