Best of Restaurant Bias: The TexMex List

I'm not a major fan of most "Best of" lists, especially when it comes to restaurants. I am glad life caused me to take my time in making this post. There is a Facebook survey about how Texan a person can be and one question is "Do you have a Great example of Tex Mex cuisine". Recently, I went to a metropolitan city in the state and I can say of all 5 big cities of Texas, one doesn't have a good Tex Mex. I am so glad my palate knows the good stuff when I have it.

Also, we All have an opinion about what a good Tex Mex restaurant is. We, Texans know Taco Bell is not the best representation. But the Best opinion is probably a very arguable cuisine discussion in the state.

Angelina's My best friend, Intellectual Diva must stop here whenever she visits home. Once she invited me to lunch and by golly, I understand why she stops by. The food is delicious.

J. Pepe's It's my favorite. This food is delicious. Wonderful Service!!! They serve large but not giant portions. But it does have one issue. It is a lunch-only spot and it is not available on the weekends. That aside order a Burrito Mateo with J Pepe's perfectly spiced chili con carne. And my favorite soup, Tortilla soup is a cozy treat

Mi Cocina I avoided this place for a while. For years no one ever raved about anything but the drinks. I finally went because of a divorce party and understood the drink fascination. The Mambo Taxi is pretty good. But so are the enchiladas & chimichanga. 

Cantina Laredo 

There is something about a place you can smell going to another place that makes you interested. My nose & taste buds were totally pleased. And the staff especially the management are very nice.

Vidorra This is an experience in the Deep Ellum neighborhood of Dallas. Never did I ever think would rave about 450° molten cheese & vegetables in a stone bowl called a Molcajete. Nor would I ever feel not guilty for eating churros made into french toast or eating a burrito stuffed with chicken or fajita beef. Never, I say Never! But I am elated I have.

So, do you have a Great example of Tex Mex cuisine? Are they on this list? If they aren't let me know down below. And maybe I'll check to see if you know what you're talking about. Because I'm a Texan and I take my Tex-Mex seriously. And if you read that sentence in a stereotypical accent, You are My Type of People.

Dem Neighbor's Door (Answering Questions)

Questions have Answers. Answers have Questions. And maybe that's the point of this post.

Q: Saw this on Facebook & I thought it would be a fun one to answer.

A: Red & Show Me the Money. More than likely my mistakes are what got me to the door. Plus, If I go through the Blue one and "Fix" All My Mistakes, I wouldn't have the colorful life I have now. And I don't have a life that I regret as a whole.

Big Shirley's Male-Identified Wedding & Gradutions (Answering Questions)

I should have seen these questions coming. There are a few posts about the topics on here already. Oh Well! Let me Answer the Questions.

Q: Attend a Wedding of Your Ex vs Attend Graduations Outside?

A: I live in Texas. Nothing outside is Ideal. Nothing!!! An ex's wedding is just like any other wedding. And I've been invited to an ex's nuptials. I had plans to go but had a family emergency. Sent the couple a Nice gift card. So, I choose the Ex's Wedding. 

Q: Ok, Don't bite my head off. What is the difference between Bishop T. D. Jakes & Kevin Samuels talking about the problematic Black Modern Women? I don't see any Black Modern women jump up in anger with what Bishop Jakes said in his pulpit.

A:*sigh* I'm so tired of this subject. 

All I will say is Presentation is Everything No Insults, Asking for Sensitive Information, or Name-Calling in a viral clip or the Father's Day sermon the clip is from. Not to be a Know-It-All but Clearly, some folks need to listen to Bishops' sermons based on or read his books "He-motions" & "Her Lady, Her Lover, Her Lord". What Bishop Jakes said on that Sunday morning is Nothing new. What Kevin Samuels said was Nothing new. It's just these New folks who are attracted to people who are ok with methods that tear folks down instead of teaching to understand genders to get their point across, that are New to the messaging. But Who Am I? Nothing but a Christian, over 40, single, Big Shirley that attends church. (Here are all of the insults for me from both sides. Even though I have no dog in this fight) *sigh* Agree or Disagree, the message is the message.

Talk About It Tuesday (Disregarding Church Hurt)

Put Your Headphones On!!!

Learn to Listen, Listen to Learn!

Read the comment & quote tweets in THIS and then ask what is Church Hurt. Because I didn't even touch on how single mothers (not fathers) & mental health are terribly discussed in church. Oh, and at the time of this video's taping, I didn't know about the latest Kim Burrell actions & words that include Covid-19 vaccinations & masks, and ugly people. Yes, include things like that in what harms others in the church *sigh* I Could Weep but going to Godⁿ is probably the Better answer. Maybe I'll do both.

All Church Folks more than likely have a level of Church Hurt in us. But we can't judge others because their levels may be lesser or greater than ours.

Oh Well!
