but still no chinese food!

We're excited to see that we are getting a new Thai restaurant in East Point! We went to the one in Hapeville this weekend and it was very pretty and cozy, the service was excellent, and the food was pretty good, too. Not the best we've had, but definitely not the worst. Not sure when White Elephant will be opening up in EP, but we're looking forward to having somewhere new to choose from.

We took B's mom to our local Mexican place last weekend...I'm not sure if she's recovered yet ;) We have a Tex-Mex place that's pretty good, but there's lots of stuff on the menu like ribs and wings there, so for more authentic Mexican, we head to El Rocio, located across the street from the EP MARTA station. El Rocio has stuff on the menu like tripe tacos and whole fried fish with the head still on. Awesome! They also usually have all the TVs on telenovelas or news or sports, with the volume turned up full-blast...then usually someone will go over and start the jukebox...also at full-blast. Last Sunday was made even more interesting by the group of very drunk guys at one table, who figured out how to turn the jukebox on even though the very patient waitress told them it was broken. Too funny. Usually we are the only people there when we go for some reason, but the food is great and the waitress (we always have the same one) is extremely nice. On weekends, they even bring a small, free dessert with the check--usually either a flan of some type or sopapillas. Mmmm.
