The hub of Mexican food is of course in West Chester!

Headed to Union Center on Friday to chill for some dinner with my friend Jen. We headed past the Ikea turnoff and went to El Rancho Grande.

There's a nice pond out front with a bunch of pretty geese...

It's on the corner of the strip mall across from - but on the same side as - Rafferty's. Pretty easy to find...

Of course you get chips & salsa when you sit - we were lucky enough to get a nice patio high-top. The salsa is good - lots of cilantro - which I like. I would like more salt on the chips...

Jen and I each got vegetarian items. She got a bean burrito with mushrooms, onions, peppers and queso. She was pretty pleased - it's all the same ingredients just in different forms. It did look tasty and I love the queso.

I got the mushroom quesadilla - it was really good. Beans, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, peppers - yeah all the same as Jen got...but again - it was tasty!

We both left happy and full!

I still like Casa Tequila better...but this was pretty darned good!

Rock Bottom - did I hit Rock Bottom by going?

Last week a couple friends and I met for lunch on Fountain Square. It was a beautiful day and we wanted to eat outside but a bit windy so we sort of wanted cover...what are 3 beautiful girls to do?

We decided on Rock Bottom Brewery on the Square. It's got a great patio area that looks out on the Square and yet a roof to block us from the wind.

Katie got the chili - she was very happy with her meal. It did look pretty good - Texas style - not Cincinnati.

Danielle and I each got the Brazilian Turkey Burger (Homemade with latin seasonings, chimichurri, roasted peppers, mushrooms and onions. Topped with cheddar & pickle de gallo.)

Dani got the slaw - she said it sucked. There was no taste and no seasoning.

The burger - well she didn't finish it.

The fries were fine...they're fries.

The turkey burger was horrible. Mine was in 2-3 pieces as you can sort of tell and just tasted bad. There was no turkey - it tasted like breadcrumbs with a minuscule amount of ground turkey. The seasoning was awful. It was pretty much inedible. And the "pickle de gallo" - not good. The whole thing was dry and bad. I would have preferred a bland turkey burger over mish-mosh of bad seasoning.

Luckily - Dani brought us chocolate chip cookies to take back to work! They were fantastic and very welcome after that gross turkey burger!
