  1. Soooooooooooooooo worth it Don't really see a need to go anywhere other than Nuevo Laredo for mexican food.
  2. On my street there is this amazing little Thai restaurant (Bangkok Thai) just a stones throw from where we live. My gf and I (used to) frequent on random dinner occasions when we are too tired/hungover to cook or just in the mood for some great Thai cuisine. One random Wednesday back in May we called in an order for carryout. Twenty minutes later and very excited, we arrive to pick it up. Its pouring down rain so we drove and burst in the door to find the tiny (5' x 9') waiting area packed with people. We walked right into the middle of the very quiet quasi-circle (only space available)...standing room only (4 chairs against the window were already taken). "OK, time to find the host/ess and inform them that we are here for our order", I think to myself. SOP, no? Well, it isn't long before I spot a 'thai-looking' man directly facing and looking at me with what I interpret as a 'what can I do for you facial expression'. Before realizing that he isn't wearing any distinguishing employee clothes, I look him in the eye and blurt out, "I'm here to pick up a take out order for <my last name>". He looks at me puzzled for a second and then replies, "I don't work here". Embarrassment immediately sets in and everything and everyone in the room becomes a blur. Thump-thump... Thump-thump... Thump-thump -- I can here my heart beat. Are my eyes watering? I can't see anything. Does my girlfriend feel the water dripping from the palm of my hand holding hers? 5 minutes later (a second or two in reality) a big middle-aged man with a beard sitting with his blond haired wife just beside me, who apparently read the situation the fastest, bursts out with laughter. Senses return and I make an attempt to regain composure and utter as best of an apology as I can muster up at the time..."I'm very sorry". He nods and silence returns to the waiting area. It is 8 minutes later (after standing next to each other the whole time) the 'thai-looking' man and his buddy get their food and leave. Needless to say we have never returned...
