Anyway, Mike and I stopped in at OTB and as usual, sat in the bar area. Carolyn was working so we got some chips, salsa and drinks right away. (Needless to say, Carolyn is very efficient.) I didn’t get my usual margarita, but tried one of the new special ones: the skinny margarita. It was a little too limey for my taste, so I’ll not order it again. Mike got a Mexican Mojito, which was nice and minty – really refreshing. That I would order next time, if not in the mood for a regular margarita.
For our lunches, I ordered one of the specials they are running right now – a couple of tacos you can mix and match. I usually get fajitas - so this was adventurous of me. I got the Achiote and Beef Brisket tacos, but I should have read the menu a little closer, as these were made with corn tortillas, which I don’t care for. Even so, the beef was really good and I ate the meat and filling out of that one. The Achiote (chicken/pineapple) was not so good – for some reason the flavors just didn’t seem to blend well. Maybe it was too dry? I'm not sure what type of sauce would have made it better ... I'll have to think about that. Mike had the Tacos El Carbon and he said they were good.
We skipped the sopapillas – but if you do have room for desert, do get them. They’re not bad at OTB – especially when you pour some honey inside and roll it around to coat the insides. Even better with chocolate, too!
Overall – for a quick lunch of non-authentic Mexican food and a couple of drinks – yes, it’s going on the Do Again list.
