El Paisa party!

Last night, Holland and I went to El Paisa in West Salt Lake a.k.a. "the Mexican karaoke place." There was no Mexican karaoke last night but there was an awesome band and everyone still spoke Spanish. Here is Holland very happy with a "cantarito," which is very similar to a paloma - Holland's favorite tequila cocktail from Mexico. A paloma involves tequila, lime juice, salt, and grapefruit soda. Holland has had a very hard time finding one that is as good as the ones where we stayed in Guadalajara. The catarito is similar, it just involves some orange and lemon juice in addition to the lime juice and grapefruit soda. It was very good and he was pleased.

And it came in this great little terra cotta urn!

Here is me, with the closest thing there is to a real margarita in Salt Lake City:

The molcajete! A large stone bowl with shrimp, steak, chicken, cactus leaves, jalapenoes, and onions all heated to a very high temperature in a juice of tomatillo and cheese. It serves at least two (if not three or four) and is awesome! We had lots of leftovers.
