the promised land!
i've done it. i found the place i've been searching for, wandering from almost-but-not-quite to god-awful-bad for the last six years, only to find it here, today, and in such an unlikely place.
no, i'm not talking about my new job. (come on, folks, i'm not drinking the kool-aid just yet.) i'm talking about...El Meson. home of the best damn mexican food in austin!
my litmus test of the enchiladas verdes passed with high flying colors. and their guacamole was good too. the tortillas, also, appeared homemade. my lunch companions had caldo de pollo and tacos al pastor and they looked perfect. smelled perfect too.
don't get me wrong, there are a lot of mexican inspired, or almost mexican, restaurants in town, and there are many i rank at tasty goodness level, BUT none come close to el paso standards. at least none, until today.
if you're ever in the area and you have the chance, stop by El Meson on Burleson Road, not far from the intersection of Burleson and Stassney. it is fabulous!
[woo hoo--i was assigned my first tiny task today and i was so excited. me hates just shadowing. me bored out of my mind watching and not doing. can't wait to be crazy-out-of-my-mind with projects.]
