The latest lunch escapade took us to
Palo Alto Sol on California in Palo Alto. I have no idea where I heard about this place, but I knew I wanted to try it after hearing about it.
We try to get to restaurants by 1145am so that we're seated before the lunch rush. Palo Alto Sol is pretty dim though, not a lot of lighting, and a lot of small tables, so if you're in a large party you may need to split up. There is also seating outside.
Their chips, heavenly. Crispy and not greasy. It comes with three salsas - I didn't touch the bright red one, which would have been too hot for me, but the other two were very mild. I couldn't stop eating the chips - they were so good.
Their lunch menu is pretty big, and not ridiculously expensive. Entrees are about 10.95 to 13.95 range, depending on what you want to order.
I was torn between a burrito and enchiladas, and eventually went with enchiladas.
Verdes enchiladas, with beef. The beef was yummy and tender, and the sauce was not spicy (YAY!) These two enchiladas were killing me later though - I was in a major food coma from the amount. It doesn't look like a lot but it felt like it. The beans were average, the rice was decent.
Allan went with the catfish tacos, which looked REALLY good. He said adding the bell peppers added a different taste that was welcome, and the catfish was not deep fried, as you traditionally see with fish tacos.
Overall, I may go back again to try the catfish tacos or get the burritos. I saw a lady chowing down on one outside and wanted one.

Ooooh, good Mexican food is one of the things I miss most since moving to the Midwest. I looooove fish tacos! Go back and eat one for me! :D
hunger.
Yum-o!! I love green sauce! And I'd rather have my fish deep fried, because everything tastes better when it's deep fried. :)
