La Paisa Grill

This week I’ve been attending a short SharePoint training class in West Valley.  It’s been pretty informative, even though I’ve missed half of the labs.  On Wednesday several of our facilities couldn’t connect to our Internet apps.  So between e-mails, phone calls, and texts, I missed quite a bit.  We didn’t actually figure out the root of the problem until this morning, when more clinics wouldn’t connect.  It turns out our anti-virus program did an update that blocked all secure Internet sites.  We made a few calls, did a bunch of uninstalls and everyone is up and running again.

Yesterday for lunch I drove down Redwood Road looking for someplace to eat when I saw the Latino Mall.  It was awesome!  It felt like I was somewhere in the middle of Mexico.  I bought some Mexican vanilla, dulce de leche, and dulce de membrillo from Ranchos Market.  Then I got a carnitas burrito from La Paisa Grill.  The meat was cooked just right, it had freshly prepared beans, and was wrapped in a fresh homemade tortilla.  ¡Qué rico!  ¡Muy auténtico!  It was so good that today I went there and had tacos and a cold glass of agua jamaica.  I can’t believe we sometimes settle for such low-quality, mass-produced food at places like Taco Bell.  This is place is definitely one of those “best kept secrets.”

Tomorrow is my last day of training.  Hopefully things will be quiet at work so I can concentrate a little better on SharePoint instead of putting out fires.  I think I might just have to make another visit my new favorite little taco shop, too.

So when will you take Melinda with you to this new restaurant? And do they have horchata? I admit, we'd also love more Disneyland posts if there are any left.

Yes, they have horchata and it was divine! Today I got their molcajete special, which is a bowl with legs that is filled with grilled meat and chicken, nopalitos, a green onion, a pepper, and some Mexican cheese. They served it with fresh tortillas and a side of beans and rice. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed the beans and rice side dishes; they were done to perfection.

I will have to take Melinda there sometime; she would love it.

Don't worry. I think I have at least 3 more Disneyland posts to go.
