For John’s birthday we went out for dinner at an upscale Mexican restaurant. I had actually put our name on a list at French Laundry but did not really expect to get a reservation. We ended up having a lovely dinner (and saving a lot of money!)

We started our dinner with a couple of shared appetizers — rabbit tinga quesadillas and Cordero flautas ahogadas. Both were delicious.

It was probably a little too much for before-sies but we soldiered on. I chose burramundi a la Plancha for my main course and John had an agua chile ribeye. They were both prepared really nicely although John’s steak would have been too spicy for me!

We were too full to contemplate dessert but did manage to squeeze in a little sweet that they brought us because it was John’s birthday.

We brought our substantial leftovers home and had them for dinner on Sunday night. Here is my replay dinner!
