In this segment we go to the ‘hole-in-the-wall’ that I eat at. Tony is the name of the guy that runs it. Great food for a great price, you can’t ask for much more than that!
When I began my language learning route downtown I wanted to find a place like this where I could eat on a regular basis and begin to get to know the people there. I also wanted to find a place to drink coffee and study after talking with people. Well, I found the coffee place first (that’s next weeks video) and struck up a friendship with one of the workers there. I had been going to various places for lunch but hadn’t found any place cheap and put alot on your plate. Carlos, my new friend at the coffee shop, asked me where I ate lunch and he said that he goes to place that is cheap and gives you alot of food…BINGO! So, he invited me to go to lunch with him. After going the first time I knew this was the place I wanted to frequent. But, at the time there was no way I could go there by myself. Everything was so fast and I didn’t know how to say what I wanted to eat. So, the next time I saw Carlos I had him right down for me exactly what I would say to order what we ate. And that’s what I did the first time I went by myself, i read what he wrote. It was funny, the workers there all stopped what they were doing, looked at me and stared for a moment…some laughed but they knew what i wanted and I got it. Tony didn’t laugh though, which is nice now that I look back on it.
Also, if you remember this post (An Awkward Situation Over The Word Casado), the plate of food that I eat here is a Casado.
