I decided to dine for supper tonight. Let me start off by saying, bad choice. The place I chose was a Mexican restaurant. I enjoy the spicy tortilla, meat, and vegetable every once and a while, and hey, my colon needed a workout.
When I get in there the first thing that I notice is my waiter has more metal in his mouth than he does actual teeth. Oh and that inside the restaurant there were more minorities in there than us whitey. Of course they were all working too, but could you blame them?
Service was rather quick as I ordered the "Burritos Mexicanos". While waiting for my food to cook I was looking around the place. I'm assuming 70% of the people in there were regular customers. Mainly because they all ordered without looking at the menu once, and they all had on sweatpants. I can only assume the males had their boxers on backwards in preparation for after dinner. I know I did.
To the table next to me was a big man with his enormous wife. They were in there eating when I strolled into the joint, they were still there when I exited. God bless guacamole.
While still waiting I noticed a guy obviously on a date with his 'girlfriend'? Probably not. It didn't look like either one of them were having a good time. She was giving him fake smiles and couldn't look directly at him. Who could blame her? He was wearing a Hawaiian shirt that was brighter than the Mexican blanket nailed on the wall to my right.
A guy comes in just a few minutes before my dinner is ready. He was about 5 foot 10 inches tall. Not a big guy. Scratch that. He could bench press the big man and his wife at the table next to me. He was a biker man from the looks of him. He didn't have on chaps but he had leather boots that went up to his knee. They had flames on them also, which made me think one of two things: 1) he was really fast or 2) he was daring someone to make fun of them so he could kick their ass. Another thing that was odd was the fact that he wore a fanny pack, and because of that, made me go for choice number 2.
Finally my dinner is served. I take one look at it and wonder, which is greasier: my food, or the man who just served it? While eating, I quickly down my Mt. Dew and the waiter comes by to refill it. When he came back seven minutes later I was now drinking a Pepsi. I was wondering which was quicker: me receiving diarrhea, or the man's relentless speed at refilling my drink...with the correct ordered beverage.
The food was decent, but three minutes into it I could already feel the afterburners kicking on. I wasn't sure which was more discomforting: me having to relieve myself of uncomfortable gas, or the sound the large couple was making next to me.
At the bar were a group of ladies being entertained by a comedian/bartender. He wasn't speaking a word of English and I knew none of the women at the bar could either by the way they glanced at each other after each joke, and then laughed hysterically.
On my way out was the only time I laughed. I saw a GMC Sierra sized van. I didn't bother checking to see what kind it actually was, but on the upper portion of the windshield, in big white Old English font I read, FERNANDEZ.

Mid Illinois. Near Peoria, if you've heard of it. Nowhere near Chicago, girl.

we've been cooking all day, the tex-mex way!! The taste says it all at La Fiesta. I hated those damn commercials. You are lucky you don't have to hear them, otherwise I would pray for your soul and I am not even christian.

Illinois. Besides, I don't think it is a chain of any sort, must just be coincidence.
