Never Would Have Guessed They'd Have Three Kinds of Scottish Beverages at a Mexican

Restaurant. So a small chain of a family owned Colorado Mexican restaurants took over an abandoned Kentucky Fried Chicken building in our little town. El Tapatio is the chain name...Parachute, Fruita, etc. locations already.

They opened this week and tonight I stopped by for dinner. Found the expected brightly painted chairs and tables and walls and booths with scenes of dancing senoritas and vaqueros and studly bulls and stallions and agave farmers and quaint village scenes...and colorful sombreros on the walls.

Menu was about as expected and the food was okay but a challenge to this Gringo.

While I'm waiting I picked up the desert and booze menu and danged if they don't serve Buchanan's, Buchanan's 18, and Glenlivet!

Must be some sort of influence from the Irish Brigade or lustful Scot sailermen...

I bet they knew Ol' MacDonald was in town, with Buchanan's here, Buchanan's there, here Glenlivet, there Glenlivet, everywhere Laphroaig, -phroaig.

But seriously, I need a sombrero in a size 3X large. Is there somebody near you who could accoutre my cabeza grande?

Back to the OT now.

Crack me up! Hey I'm looking for a "working" sombrero...like vaqueros wore...all I can find are the decorated ones....if I find one....

Huh! We have several El Tapatio restaurants in Vancouver USA that perfectly match the description that you gave. Maybe not such a small chain after all? Of course since, so the menu says, El Tapatio is a word to describe people from Guadalajara and it stands to reason any retaurant with that name would probably be decorated similarly maybe it's just a coincidence.

Aye, a common name for Mexican restaurants. I just went by the addresses they printed on their menu cover.
