This was my first time eating at Casa Blanca Restaurant.  I was feeling a little uncertain about whether I really wanted Mexican food today.  But there I was, standing at the counter and gazing up at the menu.  The restaurant was pretty busy at 1:30 which was when I arrived.  I tried taking a photo of the outside of the restaurant, which really wasn’t much to look at but I thought, hey, if I’m doing this blog thing, I’m at least going to be thorough about it.  But the batteries were dead, and so I risked looking like a tourist for nothing.

The kindly gentleman at the counter who was probably the owner asked me if I wanted a table.  Why yes I would!  He led me to a table and before I could sit down, he said emphatically,”Let me wipe first,” even though the table looked plenty clean to me.  That didn’t stop him from doing a vigorous scrub of the table surface before I sat down.

There was a bit of a wait for my food.  I’m not sure how long exactly, but I got through a considerable part of my copy of Express before my food arrived.  The food was really great, my only complaint would be that the rice was a little burnt and crusty on the bottom.  I really wish I had photos to show.  This blog is off to an inauspicious start.
