Restaurants come and go. When we returned to Mississippi this October we found that two of our favorite restaurants had closed, which is irritating but understandable. Yesterday, we were delighted to find a little place down the road still open for business. We four ate a delicious lunch after walking from our condo, which by itself was a miracle. So far, it is Ian's favorite eatery.
The place opened five years ago selling tacos for $1. each. The Mother Rosie did the cooking and was only open for lunch. Bit by bit, the menu was expanded. And they opened for breakfast too. The little place was just by the side of the road, covered by only an umbrella. Each year showed improvements. Now it is totally open to the elements but is covered by a thatched roof. And the bathrooms are clean and tidy and both have doors, a definite upgrade.
The prices are still modest. Each taco now sells for 17 pesos and as the pesos now are 16 to an American dollar, it comes pretty close to a dollar a taco. I ate a shrimp burrito which was full of shrimps and had lots of flavor. Rosie's son waited on our table. Ken and I were delighted to have found this little restaurant still serving good inexpensive food. When we left the place was full. I felt as if I had found an old friend. We will dine there again.
