The Mija Chronicles

Mexican food and culture, on both sides of the border

We got an apartment, maybe

February 10, 2009 by Lesley Tellez

It’s the one I posted pictures of most recently — the modern one. We haven’t signed the lease yet so I’m not considering it ours until then. If we do end up getting it, though, we are SOOO getting a grill for the outside terrace. (I’m obsessed.) Seriously though: Can’t you just see me going to the local tianguis and picking up some chicken and carne asada, and tossing it on there with onions and veggies and maybe a tortilla or two? Or better yet: FISH. (Because that’s better for you.)

In other news, we discovered a taco place we liked last night — El Farolito. It’s a chain, but they have all kinds of tacos and salads and sopes. Plus they sell Victoria in cute little bottles called “cuartitos.”

They called us “jóvenes” there. As in, “Algo más jóvenes?”

    Funny, I just had a dream last night that we had lunch together and I asked you if you had found an apartment yet. Weird.
