Senior Pancho’s
Posted in Fun by Keith MeyerSince my first day here at Timex on June 12th, I have eaten lunch in our cafeteria everyday. Thankfully our chef can roll a pretty mean burrito.
Yesterday Gary, David, Mike and I decided to fly the coop and try out Senior Pancho’s in Southbury, CT. My first impression was I felt like I had been here a thousand times before. I’ve been to so many Mexican restaurants in my life that they are all starting to look alike. They all have the rounded archways, pastel painted walls, murals of Mexican landscapes and their national flag hanging from the ceiling.
Most Mexican restaurants also share the same pride in their chips and salsa that somehow always make their way to the table just as you are sitting down. Their salsa was great. Just the right amount of cilantro and not too hot! Chips were warm, crispy and salty…just awesome.
Question: Why don’t restaurants serve sweetened iced tea? You can find the sweetened version in any grocery store or food mart but not in restaurants? I’ve found that using a sugar substitute rather than real sugar will give you that store bought sweetened tea flavor. Anyway…
Then it arrived…it took up half the plate (pictured right; and that’s only half of it). The Sante Fe burrito made my lunch partner’s enchiladas look like hot dogs in a hallway. It is a bright red tomato tortilla filled with grilled veggies, chicken, black beans, rice, lettuce and cheese then topped with a red sauce and a dollop of sour cream.
Senior Pancho’s Sante Fe Burrito definitely made my “Top Ten Ultimate Burrito” list. If you’re ever in the area and if you need someone to show you the way, I would be delighted.
Stay tuned for the “List”
Thanks for reading….
