OK... just one more before I leave
I couldn't do it. I just couldn't leave without ONE MORE POST!!
Have you ever wondered what some people in a small town are like? Here's an example:
Scene: Taco Bueno on a Saturday afternoon.The husband & I were very hungry after an afternoon of furniture moving, taping & painting. So we decided to run up to the closest Taco store and get some munchies. I drove up to the drive thru window and began to peruse the menu sign.
crackle crackle take your order
? crackle crackle pop.Me: Don't you guys have Bean & Cheese tacos?
Taco Dude: No
Me: Really? You don't have bean & cheese tacos? Cause that's what I want....
Taco Dude: No. But you can order a beef taco.
Me: I don't want a beef taco. I want a bean & cheese taco. Do you have bean & cheese burritos?
Taco Dude: No. If you really want a bean & cheese taco you can order a beef taco minus the beef, add beans and ask for extra cheese.
Me: So wouldn't that be a bean & cheese taco?
Taco Dude: No. It's a beef taco without beef with beans & cheese added.
Me: Ok. I want a bean & cheese taco.
Taco Dude: We don't have those
Me: I want a beef taco with no beef but would you put some beans in there instead & add cheese?
Taco Dude: Sure. I can do that.
Me: Can I call it a bean & cheese taco?
Taco Dude: You can call it whatever you want after you pay for it.
Me: Thanks. Yer a pal
Taco Dude: Anything else?
Me: Yeah. I want a chicken fajita without chicken but add beef
Taco Dude: So would you like a beef fajita then?
Me: No. I want a chicken fajita, minus the chicken and add beef instead.
Taco Dude: Are you trying to be cute?
Me: Do you have chicken fajitas?
Taco Dude: Yeah........
Me: Can you add beef to it instead?
Taco Dude: Whatever... yeah....
Me: So that's what I want.
Taco Dude: yeah... ok. Pull through
And that's about when my husband went insane. Apparently sometimes I really drive him crazy.
Now how can you live in Texas and not sell bean & cheese tacos? My Austin readers will KNOW exactly what I'm talking about. Bean & Cheese tacos are like a staple or something. I used to LIVE for Taco Cabana's Bean & Cheesers!! There used to be a Taco Cabana here, but it shut down. I was so sad. Anyway. I got my Taco Bueno beef taco minus the beef, add beans & cheese, but they goofed it up anyway. Apparently - I forgot to tell them that it was supposed to be a SOFT TACO. So I got a crunchy one. Oh well. I'll know how to order next time I go there.
OK!! Now I'm REALLY gone until next Friday or Saturday! Who's gonna miss me?!
We will MISS YOU!!!
I loved Taco Bueno when I lived in TX...LOVED IT!
I used to go there when Iwas in high school & get BEAN & CHEESE burritos...I know they had them when I was a kid...it was the onlty thing I ever got. They did have onions in them but still...
Have a safe trip & we will talk to you when you return.
