The Tex Mex Restaurant Night Out

Saturday night we decided to got to the local Mexican restaurant that have not eaten at yet, we tried a week before only to find out it had just changed hands and was closed for "modernisation", You have to be a bit skeptical of comments like that. we went back and found a really rustic style place with all open air, as most places are here in the tropics, and a really old place and no modernisation. most bars and restaurants here are not much more than a tin roofed barn style building with varying amounts of decoration. this was the same but at least it was full, I was expecting a full Mexican menu but it was a scam, it was offering typical Costa Rican food and the main meals were very expensive , more so than the expensive Peruvian place we went to last week, so we ended up with the large plate of deep fried things, as one does, chicken wings and sausages and bananas, plus a few more things, a dish of shredded beef in sauce that i swear that tasted more like Curry than the local dish, but it was OK with the corn chips and other goodies, there was a huge monster of a TV screen showing a local dance competition, with a slight angle, the couples dancing were doing it to make money for something or someone, I couldn't make out, one couple were dancing for there child who had both legs removed below the knee, and one couple the guy only had one leg at all, not even the ass cheek, but I can tell you tat guy could swivel on his stick like you cannot believe, i was amazed at this spectacle, I think only in the third world would they have it like this, but i am not poking fun at them just shock and amazement. We ate and the little girl found a playmate in the new owners daughter who was the same age, they ate icecream and watched cartoons in the main room, we drank and ate until we were full. It was an interesting evening and one i will probably do again
