It was Friday, March 31 and we were looking for a place to eat. There is a wonderful little restaurant called Taqueria Vallarta Jalisco on Riverside Drive so we thought we would eat at the one on South Congress Avenue. I hadn't eaten there since 1995 and the food was great so we decided to go inside.
BIG MISTAKE! I am still throwing up blood and mucous and whatever microorganisms were in the food.
The staff scowled at us when we came in the door and began saying words like "pinche juerdo, " " Bollios""Gabacho" and "Ponga alguna mierda en sus comidas." I thought they were referring to the obviously intoxicated white man who was sitting in the booth behind us raving about how he should have gone to the convenience store and had nachos instead... A scantily clad woman was with him and there was the stench of beer all over the place! Everybody was drinking! Roaches roamed under the table and the toilet in the women's room was stopped up and apparently had been for quite some time! Everybody was drinking alcohol and I mean everybody. We don't drink.
The old man who opened this restaurant was a very nice person and he made sure his restaurant was IMMACULATE! He encouraged a nice family atmosphere not a sleazy place where foul-mouthed drunks of all ethnicities could congregate.
I looked toward where the kitchen was. There is a rectangular opening from there to the main dining room and the cook was digging in his nose with a finger.
I had the chicken enchiladas and my dining companion had the combination plate with the pierno de puerco and the fajitas. The mesero or waiter kept snickering and muttering thigs under his breath at us. I jad always had good service in this restaurant before but there was something different.
I guess we just didn't get it because we aren't prejudiced. Bigots don't eat in ethnic restaurants.
The snide remarks —slightly slurred by beers consumed kept getting louder. I noticed that my enchiladas didn't taste very good and apparently my companion noticed that his fajitas weren't tasting the wy they should and that the frijoles refritos seemed rather watery!
The waiter hovered and kept asking us if everything tasted good and if we were alll right. He had sheer hatred in his eyes but we were so hungry, we just ate up as fast as we could and paid out.
IT COST US $15.00 plus $1 for the juke box to GET FOOD POISONING.
Saturday night, we were both running a high fever hot flashes, crawling to the restroom and losing our expensive Mexican meal from evey bodily orifice! My dining companion was totally useless on his job on Saturday and Sunday and all I could do was throw up. It is Monday, Apri 3 now and I am STILL SICK. I might have to have EMS take me to the Emergency Room!
Maybe we should have drunk beer even though our religion forbids it and there were cops waiting outside to arrest anybody who came outside whom they had observed drinking beers because nobody inside cares how many beers they serve!
The appropiate agencies were notified after I regained my strength to make the telephone calls.
Do not go here unless you want to get food poisoning!!!
These people are hate-mongerers, bigots and racists who put something in the food of anybody they think is of a different ethnic group than themselves. They were laughing and high-fiving each other as we left.
Do not eat here!
