Tex-Mex in France

Last week, I managed to drag the BF over to Susan's Place, a Tex-Mex restaurant right near our apartment.

As I mentioned in a previous post, Susan's Place used to be in the 5th arrondissement, but has since relocated over here to the 16th.

In an attempt to satisfy my crazy taco cravings, I ordered the "Mexican Plate", which, according to the menu and the waiter, consisted of enchiladas, tacos, chili, and rice.

Unfortunately, it turned out to actually consist of ONE taco, ONE enchilada, a TEENY cup of chili, and a bit of rice with lettuce and a tomato.

All for 15 euros (8 million USD).

The food was okay. Not great, not bad, just ok.

According to a newspaper clipping pasted on the front window of the restaurant, Susan used to be a fashion designer, whose work took her all over the world, and it was back in the late 1980's that she went to New York and had Tex-Mex cuisine for the first time.

Maybe that is the problem?
