Day 84: Quixote's

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, and work taking me to UCSF, I figured Wednesday would be a perfecrt opportunity to grab some tacos with Mom, Dad, and my youngest sister (who was in town for the holliday). After my conference at UC was over, a quick drive up 7th avenue brought me into Forest Hill where I found my family anxiously awaiting my arrival. We decided a quick walk to Quixote's would be the best and quickest solution for a late afternoon taco-ing. We entered the smallish dining room, chose our usual table, and sat down to a basket of crispy tortilla chips and spicy salsa. After perusing the menu for all of thirty seconds (the choice between a regular and a super taco is never really that difficult), we flagged down the waitress and placed our order. Mahi mahi for Mom, one chicken and one pork for Dad, and carne asada for me, the tacos arrived filled with delicious meat, tender beans, and fresh salsa. Bucking the taco trend, my sister ordered what turned out to be a bowl of melted cheese. It was served with tortillas, and seemed to act as a "make your own quesadilla" bar. Very interesting, indeed! Burdened with tummies full of taco goodness, we were thankful for the short walk home. Even though it was but a few blocks, it gave us some much needed exercise after Quixote's bountiful taco offering.
