On the Border - North Garland

Now Mitcho and the fam spent last week hanging on the beach at Gulf Shores, Al. Now picture a real redneck on a beach. Yep, embarrassing to the rest of the fam.

In my opinion when you cross the Texas state line going any direction, except to Mexico, you are saying goodbye to Mexican food. Now I have eaten Mexican food in many states of this here somewhat great US of A and none of it qualifies as Mexican food. On the road home from this trip we stopped at a Taco Bell, but that doesn't count as Mexican food. So one of the first things you do is go straight to a Mexican restaurant and pig out. (No I didn't eat any pig!!!)

So part of the group did the Mexican Hat Dance to On The Border in North Garland. Now Darlin' and Sax Man/Bean Counter live in Sachse and there just isn't much in the way of choices for Mexican food, so we travel to North Garland for Mexican Food.

So at ordering time, Chipper suggested that we order 3 enchiladas and split them. So we ordered two cheese enchiladas and a beef enchilada. Chipper took one of the cheese enchiladas, which left me with a cheese enchilada and a beef enchilada. We also got charro beans and rice.

The chips here are much larger than other places, so you get two or three bites per chip. So be careful who you share salsa with because there will be some double dipping going on. The salsa was a pretty normal salsa, tasted pretty good, but could be a bit more spicy.

The cheese enchilada was pretty good and was covered by a cheese sauce. The beef enchilada was covered in chilli sauce. The beefer was also pretty good, not outstanding but better than anything in Alabama. You know the song is Sweet Home Alabama, not Spicey Home Alabama.

The charro beans had pretty good flavor. Now for the rice. They should be calling this rice and corn. On the Border is fanatic about putting lots of corn in their food. Being an old man, I have one of those old man diseases and can't eat corn. So I have to pick out all of the corn. Man this was a lot of work. Otherwise the rice was just rice.

Overall, this was a pretty good meal, givn em a 7.75.

Pizza Getti - the only real one on Buckner in Dallas

As I have indicated before, there are many Pizza Getti's on the East Side of Dallas, but there is only one real Pizza Getti that is awesome.

The wifey said she was not very hungary tonight so I could pick the place to eat. It didn't take me but about 3 seconds to figure out that I could get a Deluxe Pizza at The Getti and could eat all of it I wanted. So immediately I suggested Pizza Getti. This is one of the those places where I feel like Norm on Cheers. We walk in and everyone knows us. It feels like home eating here. I can promise you that if you eat there 3 or 4 times, you will become one of the family and it is a pretty good family.

So of course I ordered a Deluxe Pizza (see picture above). This pizza has every meat available at a pizza place and every vegetable. You can see all of the onion (and you know Mitcho luves his onion) and plenty of bell pepper. But mainly the great tasting sausage and pepperoni brings it on. Yum Yum. Remember to get silver ware, there is so much topping on this pizza that part of it is going to fall off. So you need a fork to scoop up the loose fall offs. This is one good kind of miserable.

Grab your pizza eating dog, family and friends and get yourself to Pizza Getti. You won't regret it.

Givn em a 10!!!!

Shout to Kyle and Karla, congratulations on the new little girl. We are looking forward to seeing her at the Getti.
