Rio Lerma - Forney

 A few days ago, Chipper (aka Wifey) decided it was time to be civilized adults for an evening. If you have read many of my blogs you know that is quite a stretch for me. But I try when Chipper says I must.

As you can imagine it was a pre-planned attack which which included a 3 1/2 hour movie and dinner. So off we went to Film Alley. This is in Terrell across from Buc-EEs and all of you have been at that Buc-EEs. Yes you have, just own up to it. This is a pretty cool place with movie theatre, restaurant, and bowling alley. The movie has food service and very cushy reclining shares. I had a pretty good nap. 

Finally the movie was over and off to dinner. I knew if I suggested a mexican restaurant Chipper would jump all over it with both feet. So I suggested Rio Lerma. Over the last few years we have been in meetings with folk from the Forney location of the First Fried Chicken Eating Somewhat Baptist Mostly Non-Denominational Church. All of these folk have constantly bragged about how great this restaurant is. Of course you have to take it with a grain of salt. These folk live in Forney. Just how many choices do they have or Rio Lerma serves some awesome adult beverages which doesn't appeal to me. Off we go.

The first course is always chips and salsa. This is a very important step in the process. They need awesome chips and tangy salsa to set the stage for the coming events. These chips were thicker than most which made them seem to be a little stale. They were OK, but no bragging here. The salsa was very different. I seemed to be a light green and orange, it's taste was very different. It had no heat, no real tangy taste, just kind of blah. Not a good start of the race to the finish.

I ordered a stack of cheese and beef enchiladas and rice and beans. The rice and beans were about the same as most other restaurants. Nothing special but they were ok. The enchiladas need work. The cheese was very different. Very similar with what I get in Oklahoma, Arkansas and New Mexico. This is not Tex-Mex as I know it. The beef was ok, but it had that goofy cheese on it. I am going to say New Mexico mex.

 The un-sweet tea was satisfactory. 

Overall, this was disappointing. But as I say I have access to a broad base of Mexican restaurants, so my expectations are pretty high.

I am giving it a 7.0000001.

I know them Forney folk are going to go after me, but this is my opinion and my opinion alone. So far I have the freedom in the U.S. of free speech. Enjoy while we can, it is going away fast.
