For my birthday, we dropped Eleanor at my dad & step-mom’s place and Josh took me out to a surprise dinner and movie in Hollywood. We went to an old favorite of mine, Guelaguetza! It’s Oaxacan-style Mexican food. Back in the day, when I was in college at UCLA, I used to go to their other location in Palms which was almost directly across the street from my very first apartment. It was my very favorite place to eat, but that location has since closed. I had no idea that the owners had other locations, until we arrived at this one for dinner!
I was thrilled! They have the best moles anywhere, and the red mole comes on the tortilla chips with crumbled cheese instead of salsa. So delicious!
And of course they have Mexican coke, made with real sugar! Awesome!
I had my favorite vegetarian Clayuda, which is a giant crispy tortilla covered with a black bean paste and a bunch of delicious veggies including cactus, tomato and avocado.
Josh had a cheese enchilada with red mole and covered with oaxacan string cheese. So good!
After a tasty dinner we went to see True Grit! Which was fantastic! And that was my first 29th birthday celebration! More up tomorrow!
