Mexican Food!!!!

There is a new Mexican place on the Ave called Memo's. I went there for lunch yesterday, not expecting anything (cause you know, I'm in Seattle).

Well, I had my non-expectations blown away!! I almost hyperventilated when I tasted their beans - they are actually good! The torta I had was pretty decent, although I will agree with some of the yelp reviewers that their meat is fairly bland. I also had a bite of Sean's bean and cheese burrito, which was delicious.

Here are a few things that I have not found in Seattle, which combine to make this place truly amazing:

1. The horchata was yummy! Really good. Gordito's has a pretty OK burrito, but their horchata is kind of 'meh'. Same with Guanaco's. IMO this is the best horchata in Seattle.

2. The prices are reasonable. I want to smack some of those crazy yelpers. This place is not expensive at all. If you can get two enchiladas for $3.99 you should not be complaining. (Especially with the ongoing food crisis and all that....)

3. 24 hours!!!!!!!!! Unfortunately I'm too old and cirrhosis-ridden to fully appreciate this feature. Still, I can revel in the joy that the young UW drinkers are experiencing. I spent 6 years at U of A being pampered by the presence of the 24-hour Los Betos (drunk or sober, their quesadillas just tasted better after midnight). Now the UWers can experience this great luxury too.
