The A-Team Trailer

I was a HUGE A-team aficionado growing up – I mean, what kid in the 80’s could resist “a fictional group of ex-United States Army Special Forces who work as soldiers of fortune while being on the run from the military for a “crime they didn’t commit”.

Now comes a rem-make :A-Team actors consist of Liam Neeson, Quinton Jackson, Bradley Cooper, and Sharlto Copley. I have absolutely ZERO expectations, and actually expect them to F’ it up. But lets wait and see. Trailer below … (via swipelife)

Thius was my first time here and was told by a friend to to try the recommended specialty.
The “Carne En Su Jugo”, Basically its carne asada cut small, its cooked in its own juice and beef broth. It has pinto beans, cilantro, onions, garlic, and lime. It is accompanied with a plate of radishes, grilled onions and peppers. Choice of Tortillas, fresh cut lemons and limes are standard with this meal.

I guess you can consider it more of a soup, but damn, was this thing good! It was flavorful yet still felt light and refreshing (probably due to the lime). Use the spoon and dig up all the juicy tidbits of carne, pinto beans, and cilantro. The combination of flavors feels familiar yet i have never had this dish before.. A hearty meal that left me feeling stuffed throughout the night.

If you get a chance, hope you try this dish.
