permalinkEl Torito
July 21, 2008
Since Devin is now old enough to sort of feed himself, eat real food, and sit in a high chair, we've learned about the extra benefits of going out to "casual dining" restaurants. Our favorite is El Torito. We show up early, around 4:30-5:30, to eat with the other families and older folks. We'll split fajitas and guacamole, and Devin will chomp down on chips, guac, tortillas, chicken, whatever we've got on our plates. We still have to pick up his toys off the floor every three minutes, but a big bonus is we don't have to clean up the pile of food that always ends up around the bottom of his chair! We've got a couple things to look for in these restaruants:
- Has to serve Alcohol!
- Not too fancy to bring a kid (cloth napkins)
- Not too crowded or noisy
- Devin would be able to eat some of what we'd order
- Outdoor seating preferred.

As a bonus, there should be a likelihood that Devin will be able to charm the waitress, hostess, or nearest table of ladies. He likes to have an audience when he's being cute.
