In something I can only describe as completely out of character, Jason and I began our visit to Holland (Amsterdam) by eating Mexican food. I can't explain it! Actually, I can. If you know us, you know we love Mexican food. In Europe, however, Mexican food isn't really popular -- okay, that's an understatement, its not popular at all. So, consequently, everywhere you go, there are these awful forms of Mexican food -- wannabe Mexican actually. Say, guacamole with mayonnaise in it (as in the UK), or burritos with baked beans and cucumbers (a la Copenhagen)...you are starting to get the picture. So, with this little Mexican joint around the corner from our hotel, we skeptically entered -- hopes high as always, waiting for the big let down.
I can report, however, that the food was pretty good. A little bland, but we enjoyed a Mexican beer, had some chips and salsa, and were frankly pretty pleased with our tacos and burritos. (Please don't read into this that the meal was authentic or anything near authenticity -- but hey, our standards are so low by now, we'll take any Mexican food we can find!)

Too funny.... Having been on some of those never ending searches for decent Mex food in London, I can attest to the truth of this comment. ;-)))
