It’s Time To Eat

We’ve introduced ourselves and filled up with gas….now the fun really starts.  Today’s topic – one of my favorites – FOOD!!  Yep, no vacation will be complete without some high quality yummy food.  Yep! Love it!  I’m a food junkie. With gas prices where they are, we’ll be sticking fairly close to home. We’re going to one of my favorite Mexican Restaurants – La Carreta. There are multiple La Carretas around the country, but this one is not affiliated with any of the others. It’s located in Nacogdoches, Texas, and if you are ever there, you must stop by La Carreta. This is the best Mexican food in our area.

I recommend that you start with the queso flameado to go with your complimentary chips, salsa, tortillas, honey, and butter.  One serving is more than enough to go around the table.  Their sweet tea is very refreshing especially on these hot 100+ degree afternoons, but if you really want to try something that will bring you back to this restaurant again and again, order a frozen margarita – plain and strawberry are both top on my list. For your entree, I highly recommend that you either choose one of the shrimp meals or my favorite the chicken fajitas. These are my favorite chicken fajitas I’ve ever tasted. They have the best flavor and they serve them with this “garlicy” butter that is divine!  Hmm…and if you can stand to eat anymore after filling up with all of this, ice cream is on the house.

Wow! After taking this trip with you guys, I’m thinking we’ll be making a family trip again this weekend….I can already taste my margarita and fajitas!
