We all have friends that give us things. Sometimes its as simple as a food recommendation.
Those are the gifts from friends I truly love. If you think about it, its a very nice thing to do. It says

“I found something great and I want to share it with you”

Information is a great gift and I got a little bit this weekend.

El Pollo Regio in Dallas.
I used to live not far from this place years ago. Of course years ago it was not there.
I have had my share of Mexican food around the city and I find that some truths apply to getting a good meal. If there are more than 3 of them in existence then I bet its going to be mediocre. If the menu has Spanish on it then I can bet its gonna be pretty damned good. If there is a slight language barrier because I don’t speak Spanish then im going to be very happy when I leave.
At El Pollo Regio I was kind of confused. There are many in the city but it still feels small and like a local treasure. There were not alot of cars in the parking lot when we arrived.
It did however have an AMAZING smell when we went inside.

I have only been once and was very impressed by the flavor there. I think I will go again on a busier day and try out some rice and beans at the height of cooking and not leftover however.

I made a bit of a mistake at this trip being slightly groggy from the night before.
and the fruit fiasco.

So when I saw Potato Regio I assumed it was a potato and carne asada taco.
NOPE it was a baked potato with steak, cilantro sour cream and cheese.
It was still pretty good but not what I wanted at a Mexican food place.

Potato Regio

I did end up nibbling the various meats and chickens from my buddies and those were super good.

Mexican soda was also on the menu and was very good and made me happy. Now these are the same brands we have here but bottled in Mexico and I believe they use real sugar in them for costs reasons.

Mexican Fanta

So El Pollo Regio is on the list for another stop or two this year.
