Preview of my food rant and raves

Today is my first rave on this new blog.

I will rave about eating last night at Cypress Inn in Monroe. I took a crew of seven to eat and we had a bill of 92.00 that included some adult beverages for the adults , and crab legs and lots of fish and shrimp and a couple of orders of their homemade onion rings. I thought it was a deal to feed teenagers. It would have been much cheaper if I had not had to order the second plate of snow crab legs, three of them ate off one order, each getting a leg section plus claw each. I felt the pain of them wanting more, so ordered a second order ! They were gone in a flash ! They liked them spicy and juicy as it was everywhere on the table when they finished. The rest of the table got bite sized shrimp and fried fish.

I can also rave about eating tamales at that little bitty Lantino market on 165 North , I saw it as we were driving through Taco Bell across the street . it seemed to be hopping with people coming out with bags so when we got ready to eat (adults) . I decided to check it out ----wow it is tiny inside but the owner called us over to his counter and said he was just pulling out more fresh hot tamales . So we decided to eat three a piece and take the other three home. We ended up eating them all and getting another dozen to go. The inside lacks the look of a restaurant, it is a dive but the owner sets it aside by making a spread easy to eat. Salsa's , onions and celetro, along with sliced limes. Looking around everything is in spanish , even the cokes are imported . I had a grapefruit soda. Asking the owner , he said he is open everyday 8:30 am until 8pm. and if you call him, he will tell you when he is pulling out the fresh ones from back. My next door neighbor said he gets the guc. at least one a week. I don't know how to spell it but it is made with avocados. so there you have it , my two raves of the day.
