With Prince Michael and Lady Elizabeth now taking up residence in the Candler Park neighborhood just east of Atlanta, Watson and I took the opportunity to stop up and continue our gourmet galavanting and discover the exciting food establishments this fine city has to offer.

More Chips with Cheese.......fairly ho-hum yet welcome.... |
It's a simple enough menu, although written in a less than immediately grasped font-something that might be causing some of the lines' length I would say, with Burritos, Quesadilla's, Tacos, and Salads all offered in four Vegetarian and four Non-Vegetarian sorts: Bean, Green Chile, Potato, and Broccoli for the green team and Chicken, Pork, Steak, and Shrimp for the red team....with an additional assortment of accessories for each: Salsa Fresca, Onions, Jack Cheese, Pinto Beans, Spinach, Jalapeno's, Rice, Guacamole, and on, and on, and....this makes for an a la carte bonanza for the insightful but somewhat of a nightmare for the uninformed, especially with hungry mouths on line breathing down one's neck. The addition of 'The Burrito Specials', tho difficult to 'pick up visually' on the menu at first, adds an easy A,B,C to the process....as well as the added bonus of a drink and a chips/salsa partner.

Double Wrapped Green Chile and Broccoli Tacos, with Pinto Beans, Cilantro, and Onions |
Only upon securing a table and securing one's beverage do you realize that almost before you are sitting down you hear a bellowing "#17"and are given your order faster than foxes drool in a henhouse, easily surprising even this most hardened visitor. It was only then that I surmised the brilliance of the enterprise: Fast in and Fast OUT! No alcohol to gather ditherers and the resulting quick turn will create a success to pine for! Elementary in it's simplicity for there is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact!
Additionally, and as a wet-burrito man I am predisposed towards such encumbrances, the further easy and gratis availability of the fine salsas and sauces, Red-Mild, Green-Hotter, Chipotle-Hotter still......and the Salsa Fresca which is more along the lines of a chunky gazpacho, was both commending and delicious.
The Taco's and Burrito's that thus arrived: Pork and Green Chiles, Pinto Beans, Cheese, and Cilantro for Prince Michael and Lady Elizabeth, the Vegetarian Green Chile and Broccoli with Pinto Beans, Onions, and Cilantro for Watson, and a Chicken and Green Chiles Burrito for myself, were so warmly welcomed that a further case has since been created for the loss of these foodstuffs into thin air had everyone baffled at it's rapidity and chagrined at their subsequent inherent fullness.
And SO full were the members of the party quickly made that we did NOT participate in such post meal festivities such as the Sopapillas, Hand-Dipped Milkshakes, or the Hand Dipped Floats.
What is still unknown is whether these were actually Bell Street creations or manifestations of Jake's Ice Cream which shares a common floor and entryway.
Assuredly something I noted to investigate further upon our NEXT visit!
And was it further beguiling still that upon our exit, the whole episode lasting no more than 30 minutes, that the steady flow of diners was still at an even flow...... a balance had obviously been reached and that calculus was no longer in question!
