It was one of those days where you feel fat and think that everything sucks. I was picking up a friend from the airport, and she was trying to convince me to go and eat with her at the Grove Farmers Market. I did NOT feel like doing this at all. It was a day when everything and everyone is annoying and I just wanted to go home and watch Harry Potter. I was beginning to think people were generally bad, and have no manners. I was just kinda down. Do you ever have these days?
I was finally able to be convinced to go eat. We drove into the parking lot of the farmers market, I found a spot, put my signal on and waited for them to back out. They did, and then BAM, my spot got swiped. HELLO! MY SIGNAL WAS ON! So that was annoying.
We make our way into the farmers market. It’s an interesting place. Its filled with both good food, bad food, touristy crap, hot sauce, boba, stickers, cowboy hats, candy, and pretty much anything else you can think of. Its a weird spot. Loteria Grill is one of those good food places. Like I mentioned before, I was having a fat day, so these tacos were perfect. Vegetarian, light, and delicious. Seriously. Get their zucchini tacos, and get the limeaid.
This place also has a lot of other delicious items, but I swear by these tacos, and only really get them when I eat here.
You will find our interpretation of this recipe below. Perfect for summer, and fat days. Okay, so the moral of the story. If you’re having a bad day, and think people are generally bad, you will inevitably dwell on things that make people bad, as opposed to not paying attention to it like you would any other day. It’s like a trap. So if you’re having a negative Nancy kinda day, try to get a little perspective and power through it. Also, if you’re having a fat day, make these tacos. AND also, if someone does a favor for you, no matter how small, make sure you say thank you. Manners are nice and appreciated.
