We spent Sunday walking to Bodega Aurora (a Mex-style WalMart store) to exchange a shaving mirror (the only mirror on our second floor at present) and pick up a few items before heading to Los Milagros in Centro to listen to Jack & Frances play while munching on crudités (jicama, carrots & zucchini sticks dusted with dried peppers) and their wonderful queso fundido (we chose chorizo and sautéed peppers as toppings to their three-cheese base). Jack & Frances remembered us from the only other time we caught them on an earlier visit.
On Saturday for dinner we tried out another restaurant here in San Raphael: Tacos Don Felix. Thought it would be a glorified taco stand with seating, but found it to be a semi-elegant setting with excellent service and reasonably-priced dishes. Started with an appetizer of BBQ baby back ribs. Michael chose the tilapia stuffed with shrimp as his entree; I chose the 7-Taco plate, each taco filled with a different filling including one with the mushrooms that grow on corn cobs in a rich, dark sauce. Stuffed (that’s me)!
Don Felix is only 6 or 7 blocks from our house and we thought we could simply walk there, but took a wrong turn (we are still working with only the laptop, no printer for maps, and faulty memories) and eventually found it quite some time later. It's only 2 or 3 blocks beyond our friends' home. Took the correct route home; much faster!
