Restaurant Highlight: Thai Thai 2 & Los Amigos

I had a pretty good weekend. It is peak season at Amazon (since Black Friday) so Sean is only getting one day off per week and has 13 hour days until Christmas Eve. Pretty crazy. I feel so bad for him because he looks tired. On his one day off (Saturday) we had his rugby Christmas party. I brought my camera but did not take one picture. I'm surprised too. We had such a great time that right now I'm wishing I took a picture or two. The women's rugby team decorated the banquet hall so beautifully but I just wanted to hang out with Sean instead of worry about camera settings since I'm missing our time together. But Nicole (one of the rugby ladies) snapped this picture of the two of us with her phone. I'm trying not to think of how much nicer this picture would have been had I just taken out my camera. I live & I learn ;).

Just 1.5 weeks to go for peak season and I get Sean back! I hope you all had great weekends!

Alright, on to the reason for the post ...

Several Wednesday's ago, Lisa and I checked out Thai Thai II for dinner. We take turns on restaurants we want to try and I had been in the mood for Thai food so it was no surprise that it was my choice for the week.

I hadn't had Thai food since my visit to the city over the summer so I decided to have my favorite - the simple chicken & shrimp pad Thai for my entree. For my appetizer, I chose curry puff and this was incredible! If I could do it again, I would have just ordered the puffs for my dinner. It was just too good! Lisa ordered a pineapple fried rice (not pictured) for her entree and a spring roll for her appetizer. The spring roll and pineapple fried rice was OK but lacking in flavor. I was clearly the winner that week, ha.

There are a few more Thai restaurants that I want to try in our area before I'll go to Thai Thai II again just to compare but I give it 3.5 stars out of 5 just because it does not compare to my favorite Thai place in the city.

Last Wednesday, we went to Los Amigos, a Mexican Restaurant for Lisa's choice. I love Mexican food so it is my mission to try every Mexican Restaurant until I find my favorite. I have to say that this one was even better than the one Sean and I went to last! This place also came with complimentary chips and salsa which I'm finding that I really like about the Mexican restaurants around here. I ordered a platter of different foods to try and Lisa ordered tostadas for an appetizer. They were delicious and a bit too much. We decided that we could have just ordered one of the appetizers to share and then our entrees. For an entree I ordered Pollo Acapulco (Chicken breast stuffed w/crab meat, spinach, shrimp and mushroom sauce. Lisa ordered a steak meal that came with potatoes and veggies. Our food was delicious and my leftovers were still great the next day. The service was a little slow (our waitress was friendly and sweet) but when you order as much as we did for our appetizers the wait isn't as bad.

We rated the restaurants again and this is how it goes now!

1. Tapas (still #1) - we can't wait to go back!

I'm really, really excited for the restaurant we're trying on Wednesday! Crossing fingers that it's good.
