Finally, Mexican!

Or rather authentic Tex Mex. Other than the tasty homemade tortillas at the Tokyo restaurant chain Zest, we have yet to find authentic Mexican (Americanized) food. As Ryan describes, it’s usually tainted with a “fishy overtone”. Last night we wound our way around the tracks to find the restaurant Junkadelic. It was worth the effort! Even though it’s in a neighborhood away from where we usually go, in fact it was Ryan’s first time to this “part of town”, we stumbled into two familiar faces. Imagine that! In a city of 8 million people we can go to a random neighborhood on a Saturday night and run into people we know! First, at Junkadelic, a colleague of Ryan’s from work was celebrating a friend’s 40th birthday. Second, on the street, I heard my name, turned, and there was a mother from Roo’s class walking home with a friend after a girl’s night out. This rarely happened in Minneapolis so we’re still amazed when it happens here, in this á¹»ber city.
