It's rare for me to stay out until bar time, even rarer that I go out for Mexican food at 2 a.m., but that's exactly what happened last night. A few friends and I, after an evening of Glo Bowl at Bay View Bowl, went to Jalisco because Todd wanted horchata.
Someone tried to order guacamole, but the waitress said they were out of avocados. We didn't think much of it, ordered our meals and went back to eating free chips and slurping the cinnamon rice milk. A few minutes later, the server returned to our table and said they had "found" an avocado, and although they could not make it into guacamole, I could order it sliced inside my bean burrito.
I wasn't sure what to make of this found avocado. I tried to ask -- in the least snarky voice possible -- where exactly they had found it, but the waitress didn't answer. I imagined it lodged behind a big cooler and a cook or dishwasher shoving his arm between the wall and appliance to nab the fruit. (I also imagined it perched atop a pile of raw chicken, but I quickly shooed that image from my brain.)
Indeed, I was a little leery of the suddenly materialized avocado, but I decided I was already eating at Jalisco at bar time, so I was already compromising my better judgment. Plus, the pitted fruit has a thick, protective skin, so it seemed relatively safe to eat.
Today, I'm thinking it wasn't such a good idea.

It is never a good time to eat at Webbs. I'm a Chicago transplant, but I will never understand the fascination the people of this city have for that terrible food.

I've always heard that you can get a pretty good idea of how clean a restaurant's kitchen is by looking at its bathroom. With that said, Jalisco's kitchen must be a frightening place. I still love their food though...but I have to get a pitcher of margarita in order to build up the courage to finnish my meal.

I will add one more thing... In my college years and shortly after, I always tried to convince my cohorts to have a late night Jalisco trip. However, I stopped going after the time I had to walk through a metal detector AFTER an armed security guard had to unlock the door to let us in. I don't know if they still have such a hospitable late night entrance but I'm not gonna bother finding out. Ma Fischer's is right around the corner.

Best to stick with Webb's? That is nonsense. Webb's is the only place I've ever been served an omelet that was raw on the inside. Seriously. Undercooked egg whites in the middle. Gross. Not to mention that they actually came running out the door to yell profanities at me when I left a better part of half of that omelet on the table and didn't bother tipping. Webb's is far from a good idea at bar time, based on that experience.
