Mexican in Paris

Saint Michel

Last night Jason and I had the Mexican food I mentioned in yesterday’s blog.  Let’s just say that there’s a reason France is not known for its Mexican cuisine.  I’ve been more satisfied by Taco Bell and that’s not saying a whole lot.

Even better was that it cost ninety dollars to have some less than mediocre food.  Jason ordered the “super nachos” and they came with a whopping six tortilla chips, carefully arranged in a star with various sauces and meats in the center. The place had ambiance for days, but food?  Not so much.

Mexican hat me

The area of Saint Michel on a Saturday night really is something to take in, however, with tons of restaurants and people milling about.  After dinner, we found a small bar with an excellent table outside and imbibed with a couple of sangrias each.  Good times indeed.

Today was a lazy Sunday for sure, but we did see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at the Disney Village and later cooked some gnocchi with pesto sauce.  Not sure about tomorrow.  I may check out the Montmartre section of Paris, where the Moulin Rouge is, but only tomorrow will tell.
