"It's Hallmark meets the Sopranos in this fun and engaging read."
"The characters are well developed with lots of sass, drama and wicked humor."
"The characters were hilariously and perfectly flawed."
"Cleverly plotted and exceptionally well written... part drama and part slapstick comedy."

 Funny and thought provoking and entertaining!"
"A rollicking good yarn."

-Amazon reviews

El Ranchero

...Continued from previous post:
   
     We started off Saturday morning by meeting up with Claire and Miguel, who'd arrived from Chicago the day before and had spent Friday evening helping with preparations for the Quinceañera (see yesterday's post), for brunch at El Ranchero, Miguel's Uncle Chuy's restaurant.

   On one of the walls hangs a portrait of Miguel's father, who passed away several years before Miguel and Claire were married.

          The main dining room.

​    El Ranchero   advertises the best margaritas in the Southwest; and even though we weren't drinking at 10 am and so couldn't in truth vouch for the margaritas, the food certainly has to be among the best Mexican not only in the Southwest but on the planet.
Picture
    We started off with chips and three salsas: mild, hot, and whoa!
   
Being a spice wimp, I stuck with the mild - so tasty! - in the white ramekin.
Picture
   We then went on to sample among us some of Uncle Chuy's delicious burritos,
Picture
​...huevos,
Picture
...tacos,
Picture
​...and enchiladas. 
   Tom and I split this massive plate of Enchiladas Tricolor: a red enchilada stuffed with chicken, a white enchilada stuffed with cheese and a green enchilada stuffed beef - soooo good!
Picture
     After brunch we all drove out to our relatives' Airbnb (see previous post) for a dip in the pool,
Picture
...and to relax a bit before the big event, the Quinceañera, which would begin later that afternoon.
Picture
Picture
     Then it was time to go back to our hotel and get ready for the Quinceañera.
    The enjoyment of the anticipation would be exceeded only by the enjoyment of the event itself.
     To be continued...
