Calidus in Latin means "scalding." Bet it has the same root somehow.

At bandito's for the first time. House marg tastes good, and the salsa is good and spicy. And just heard two REK songs in a row.

Liking it so far.

I'm telling you. Good place.

How did it end up?

Had the three enchiladas for lunch. Very tasty!

Washed that down with two more margs.

Have to say that I'm adding it to the rotation.

Great rec from all of you who championed it.

Outstanding, Junior! They catered my HS reunion party last year, very impressed. Visited the place last fall after a SMU game and really enjoyed the food.

La Familia on Foch St. in the Montgomery Plaza area is better than any mexican food I've eaten in Dallas. Really top-notch place if you like to try out new venues.

Found my new favorite taqueria. It is called El Tizoncito and is on Forest just east of Webb Chapel. It is clean, good food, and cold beer.

I recommend the Parrillada Tizoncito which is basically one of each taco and a quesadilla. Goes down well with a Michelada.

Ok, totally dumb question. But what exactly is a taqueria? Can you sit down -- or is it just a "to go" proposition? Do gringos feel comfortable going to one?

I'd take my switchblade.
