Los Amigos at Los Amigos

Last night, I joined my friends, Beth and Luther Stanton, for the weekly rendezvous with their friends, Dale and Tommy Wommack.  Their choice of dining establishments was a cavernous Mexican place, called Los Amigos, newly relocated near my mother's house.  We were warmly greeted by Laeticia who they knew from the previous restaurant and I was delighted to be able to speak Spanish again.  The place was nearly empty but the five of us made enough noise to rival a Saturday night crowd.


We ordered margaritas, of course, and my poison was a "top shelf GRANDE with a shot of Patron reposado on the side, minimal ice.  Talk about tasty!  Much to my surprise, they even had entertainment - a very good guitar player who even accommodated our request for 60's songs.  

I couldn't believe he even knew music from that era!  Once we had enough of our margaritas on

board, we even provided loud and off-key lyrics to his playing.  I don't think he really minded as we did put money into the tip jar and applauded loudly.

I laughed so much at all the stories the Stantons and Wommacks told of their adventures together.  I've missed out on a lot living so far away and only coming home for such short visits.

We spent about two hours talking, singing and laughing.  We ate so many tortilla chips with hot salsa and cheese dip, we weren't really hungry anymore so the five of us shared two orders of chicken fajitas which were really good.  It was a terrific evening for this group of senior citizens!
