We went to eat at a place we haven't been in a while, it's a Food Truck here in Houston's northwest side. Right on West Rd., over by an auto color store, and a gas station. I ordered the chicken burrito, my son had one and my baby had a beef quesadilla and a beef taco. Let me tell you, this must be the best Mexican food truck on this side. The last time we went there a gentleman was grilling pork tacos on mini round corn tortillas. Now, today... There is a huge generous hunk of meat on a spit, upright, that they shaved off as it cooked thoroughly and then grilled it. We didn't get the meat from the spit but I must say, the meat today tasted more juicy, and more flavorful than the already flavorful flavors we enjoyed the time before.
They even have a big screen tv to watch, but that's always been there. I need to tell you that in my burrito was cheese - queso fresco and plenty of it! Plenty! Plenty of meat, it passed my 5-finger test with juice running down my arm. My grilled onions were juicy, enough of the juice pooled in the foil that enclosed the onions. They were tender, but not too tender. Perfect! The parking is a little tight but well worth it, they do cash only as many if not all of them do. But if you need cash, then the gas station in the parking lot has an A.T.M.

Beaumont Bound!
I really enjoyed my day yesterday. Myself, my friend Richard and my son Mica went to Nederland, TX, which is about 1.5 hours north of Houston where we live, to see my Nephew, Niece and my Great-niece who live there. Marques is a Youth Minister @ Golden Triangle Church on the Rock. I am so very blessed to be so close to family. My sister, Niece and Great-niece came down to Beaumont from Dallas and so we got to see everybody. Then later that night we saw my other sister and Richard's brother when we got back into Houston. We've been trying to make that happen for so long!
Maybe next time, hopefully soon, we can all get together. Before I felt like I was walking on air when I saw my family, now I feel like I'm soaring!
We went to get some lunch, (we had just ate like 2 hours before we got there), my sister wanted fish... like homemade in someone's kitchen. Nederland is a small town in southeast Texas, near the Gulf. We didn't realize how close we were to the Gulf until we returned to Marques' house. We tried to find a fish a/or seafood market and Richard was going to fry it for her. Well my nieces, and my Great-niece Arianne went to the Chicken house to get some chicken, since my sister couldn't get a hold of me (my phone was on vibrate lol!), she went ahead, told them to get her some fish from there. This is how I am, I don't like to get fish from the same place that serves chicken. Every now & then you get chicken that tastes like fish from being introduced to the same oil the fish was fried in and vice versa. But I *seem* to be the only person who feels that way about restaurants like that. So, me and Rich get to Sartin's which is a seafood restaurant. The food portions, at least mines were small, and Richards was a nice size. I ordered stuffed Jalapeños which were stuffed with ooey gooey cheese, and breaded, then deep-fried. I also had grilled shrimp, grilled chicken and tad bit of rice.i had like 5 pitiful looking shrimps and even more pitiful looking chicken strips of which there were three. I also had the cole slaw, that was absolutely divine!! I loved it, but I wouldn't pay $23 for it to have it again. Richard had a nice side salad, with thickly sliced cucumbers, tomatoes and of course lots of lettuce. I forget what else he had, oh.. he had 3-4 nice size pieces of catfish (fillets), fried. I think he had fried shrimp, something else. I really wouldn't say the prices are expensive because I see the same thing in Galveston, TX which is an island right outside of town, Clear Lake, Houston, Pearland, etc.
Maybe, if I can get my family down here we can go to NASA, to Kemah Boardwalk. If we go to Kemah, Richard can fry Lisa some catfish right on the beach! That'll be a real nice way to help encourage her new vegetarian diet. She's 2 weeks strong so far. I'm so proud of her. I'm going to teach her to make the Russian salad we made at school last week.
