Hey why not some drinks and more food to end our first day???

Liezl: Final stop of the day, Ortega 120, which has 120 types of tequila. This wasn't on our list of "must-eats," but we were hanging out with Michelle's friends and decided to get close-by eat and drinks. At this point I was done. Ready to quit the trip. My taste buds could taste no more. The thought of repeating this entire process for 4 more days made me wimper...but that's why you need teammates to push you!!! (This was an ongoing theme for the trip by the way)
In my opinon, the best thing about this restaurant are the drinks. Sureee I only tasted 3, but they were unique. The one I got, pictured above, is called the Espicy Mango. Had tequila, citrus sour, mango puree, lime and chiles. The glass was rimmed with a spicy and sour sugar. How cool!

monks: I'm glad Liezl came to her senses and remembered what this trip was for! you can't sit out on a meal!!!! the drinks were tasty, but honestly so strong i couldn't enjoy the taste...i had the horchata martini which was so yummy but the kick afterwards hurt! and the end of the drink was kinda creamy and gross, but all-in-all they were special and unique enough to be worth the money...and you could tell the liquor was top shelf...



Liezl: Even though I tired of eating, I happily ate the chips and salsa and ordered an appe. These are Gorditas de Jenn. As the menu states, they are lightly fried masa pockets with chile braised short ribs (those were the magical words that made me order them), avocado, mexiquesos, with avocado salsa. The pink stuff in the picture was pickled onions. Dude these things were HEAVY, but delicious. If I ate them now, they would be more delicious because I could probably actually taste them now. Liezl Food Road Trip Rule #1: Don't eat tasty food at the end of the day. You can't taste it, and you'll be pissed at the fact that you can't. So what to order instead? How the hell should I know?

monks: these were damn good! such a good combo of tastes and textures! who doesn't love deep fried things stuffed with meat!?! everything tasted really fresh and bright and the pickled onions were so yummy!
not pictured-unless mitch adds it...were the fish tacos i got...they were tiny like these but deep fried with seared tuna...good little fusion number...but the pico de gallo and sauce components were all on point and the fish was delicious!!! thumbs up!
