Hidalgo Mexican Restaurant

2) The plate of food that i had was a Mexican dish. I sometimes go to Mexican restaurants, however I had never tried this specific dish. I had Pollo a la Mexicana at Hidalgo Mexican Restaurant in Tacoma. The food quality at this restaurant was pretty good, even though it seemed to have a little too much of grease. This dish was fairly big and towards the end it was kind of hard for me to finish it, but I managed to do so. The cost me $10.95 in my opinion i believe that it was an alright plate for the size of the meal.

3) What my meal represents to me an easy way of getting food and still getting in some way the taste of home made food in my mouth. An issue that can be addresses relating to my food is the quantity and the healthiness of the meal. Because the business of restaurants has grown so much in the US many Americans are resourcing to eating out with the risk of consuming a not so healthy meal.

Mariachi's

Instead of going to Olympia I went to Mariachi's Mexican Restaurant in Yelm. I went with my mom on Saturday. I decided to branch off and order something I have never ordered before so I choose a seafood enchilada. The price was $14.95 and the portion size was HUGE! However, there was too much food to finish in one sitting. The quality of the food was very tasty and the service was very good as well, we ordered and they brought our food out to us about 5-10 minutes later. Questions which could be explored concerning this restaurant are; how fresh the fish is since Yelm is not very close to an ocean, as well as is the vegetables used were organic or not. Another question would be to evaluate how so many fast food restaurants in Yelm affect the small family owned restaurants. Mariachis didn’t have a whole lot of people inside, but when I drive through Yelm the fast food restaurants are always packed. It would be interesting to evaluate the “why” factor to this question.
