Today we were a little lazier and again ordered out. We picked up food from Amor y Tacos (which translates to love and tacos in Spanish). It’s a relatively new restaurant that serves an array of traditional Mexican foods with a flair, specializing but not limiting themselves to tacos.

Neither of us was particularly craving anything so we were trying to think of something that could suffice for dinner. My boyfriend who typically HATES Mexican food swears by this restaurant. It is the only Mexican food that he not only eats but craves! We had a number of really good visits here so I was a little bummed to knock this off of our list so early into the game, especially since I was still feeling a little under the weather and didn’t have the strongest appetite or stomach.
He ordered the Short Rib Quesadilla and I ordered the Grilled White Shrimp a.k.a. A La Diabla (she-devil in Spanish). And I made sure that they included the complimentary chips and salsa.

For the record, what got us hooked on this place was more than just the quesadilla. The reason that we fell in love with this restaurant in the first place was because of its great ambiance, considerate and quick service, and the presentation and quality of the food. We had ordered the Short Rib Quesadilla and Short Rib Tacos, not to mention the Elotes (Mexican corn)–which were the best I’ve had in years and the best my boyfriend had had EVER. I’m also occasionally partial to the Shrimp Ceviche which can be a little too lemony but they’re so generous with the servings that I can’t really complain because it keeps me fed for several meals at a time.
The Short Rib Quesadilla was amazing as usual and the Grilled Shrimp wasn’t bad either. Like I said, I wasn’t particularly starving so I was a little picky with what I ate but I liked it well enough. I don’t know that I’d ever order it again though. What never fails to disappoint however, is their chips and salsa which are the perfect crisp and spice that they should have.
All in all, an unremarkable but okay day for Project Food 2015. Alas, ’til next year Amor y Tacos!
