MEXICAN POT PIE and LUNCH AT ROSA'S!


One of the things we missed most while living in Maine, was some good ole' Texas Tex-Mex food!
The funny thing is, if you don't live in Texas, you are sometimes not familiar with good Mexican food. Texas offers authentic Mexican items such as La Hacienda Ranch down in the Fort Worth Stockyards or you can dine on some mouth-watering Tex-Mex!

Our dear blogging friend and fellow Texas gal, BJ at sweetnothingsbj.blogspot.com, noted in a recent post about celebrating Cinco De Mayo at Rosa's Cafe. It was yet another favorite thing in Texas that we share. The darling and I are fortunate enough to have a Rosa's right down the road from us and I could not resist snapping a few pictures at lunch last summer of their vibrant colorful vibe!

If you like Mexican Pottery, then you would love dining at Rosa's.

I think I am going to look for a pottery piece at Trade Days next month!

Thanks for lunch Mr. Wonderful...... He's my Cutie Patootie!

They make the most divine tortilla's you ever tasted! and.. don't forget to try their chocolate cake.... it's amazing!

"Put down your I-phone and step away from the camera!" It's time to EAT!
