Well it is a lazy and rain soaked Saturday and we need more of these rain soaked days in the rain deprived bay area. I drove my wife early up into the north to Concord for her classes and the green and moist hills and mountains, along 680, are sights to see, so refreshing from what they used to look like, the past few years, brown and dry. In that early morning drive home, I am somewhat reminded of trying out a new to me dish, that a friend/workmate suggested, or rather, I had asked her recommend me a good Mexican dish to try and where. What better way to sample a hot red meaty soup than on a rainy, lazy day, and yes, I have to do quite of a driving. Sunnyvale to Concord, to San Mateo. weekend, light traffic, san mateo bridge. nice plan. forgot cash for toll bridge, too. As I come face to face with the hot red soup named "Birria", I immediately forgot the 5 whys and logicality debate running in my head just minutes ago, that..... at Tacos Al Vapor - Nueva Italia on 4th street in San Mateo on a Saturday morning why is "Birria De Res" (beef) is only available on Tuesdays to Fridays, while "Birria de Chivo" (goat meat) is only available on Saturdays and Sundays. I for one have munched on goat meat cooked in different other ways, but this particular Mexican soup has me sounding 2 syllable words of yumminess in every travel of the spoon from the bowl into my mouth. This dish had made it's way into my list of "I must learn to cook" or forever find myself looking for one. Definitely all the hassles of the drive, rewarded very well. I have just been introduced to Mexican food beyond the super taco burrito and quesadilla that I am accustomed to munching. Like my first few words in the restaurant, "me no habla espanyol, but I would like number 24 for here please, and I would like a "Camarones A La Diabla" to go, please. So you know, while typing this, I now understand why my friend/workmate says she loves Camarones A La Diabla. I will come back for the Birria De Res, though. Muchos gracia. Gracias por haberme introducido en la comida Mexicana.Saturday, March 5, 2016
A "Birria" rewarding drive
