Have you ever been on a hunt? You know, for the perfect boots or the "OMGosh, I'm never taking these jeans off," jeans. Well, Mike and I have been on a hunt for quite awhile now. The hunt for the perfect Mexican restaurant. You could say that eating Mexican food qualifies as one of our major hobbies. There were times in college where we had it, not once, but TWICE a day. Can we say obsessed?? We've tried out a lot of Mexican restaurants here and while some are good and some are, eh, OK....we had yet to find the place. The place where we'll ditch all other plans to run to. Until...


We normally go to the 8:30am service at church (at the horror of some of our friends!), but yesterday we decided to sleep in and go to the night service. You see, we had a plan. We planned on eating dinner at home and then we planned on going to church and then we planned on going to bed early (yeah, what were we thinking?!), but our plans fell through. As we rushed out the door for church, I could hear my stomach growling...Mike could hear my stomach growling...in fact, I think our neighbor heard my stomach growling. Oh well, we said, we'll just wait til we get home and then cook. After the service, we both realized that we couldn't deny it any longer and we both professed that neither of us wanted to cook nor do the cleaning afterwards, so for the sanity of our marriage we better eat out!
We drove up and down Linden Avenue about FIVE times, trying to decide where we wanted to eat when.WE.SPOTTED.A.MEXICAN.RESTAURANT!!! Oh, the excitement! Needless to say, we tore through who knows how many baskets of chips and salsa...ohhh, but it was soooo worth it! We found our place...you know, as if we own it. You would think that Mike and I were food critics...we're not, but we do consider ourselves chip and salsa critics. Many restaurants in Charlotte have gotten the boot from us, even if they had great Carne Asada, because their chips just weren't up to par. The chips at Oaxaca's weren't too salty and the salsa wasn't too sugary...it was just right. In fact, I think I may go down to Oaxaca's right now....sorry Mike, maybe I'll have some left over for dinner ;)
