There are seven restaurants within very short walking distance of the office. If I want to take a short lunch as I did today, my options are even more limited.
Option 1: Big Wok Mongolian BBQ.
Nah, kinda gross and takes forever. I've seen people sneeze then grab things out of the buffet with bare hands.
Option 2: Farm House
Fantastic tri-tip sandwich and bbq but kind of pricey for every day. Needed to save some cash.
Option 3: Rinaldi's Deli
Very tasty massive sandwiches. Already went there twice this week. Big sandwiches = big calories and I'm trying to lose pounds!
Option 4: Panda Express
By the time I take a lunch the food has been sitting under the warmers for about three hours. ...and it's terrible.
Option 5: El Tarasco
Local mexican mini-chain that's quite tasty. Takes more time than I had today.
Option 6: ???? Mexican
I've walked by this very old Mexican sit-down restaurant that's connected to a roach motel many times. This is not charming old--it's dirty, grim, how-is-it-open old. I don't even know the name.
Option 7: Taco Bell (yes, nearly half the options are Mexican)
Yup, it's gross. But it's cheap and I didn't want a deli sandwich. As gross as it is I can order something that does less calorie damage than anything at El Tarasco. So that's where I went today.
2.5 hours later and I am regretting the taco supreme and blackjack taco (a taco supreme in a black shell with blackjack instead of cheddar cheese). I could go on a rant about the need to invent weird variations on the taco every other month--do we really need a taco with cheese sandwiched between BOTH soft and hard shells?-- but my stomach hurts too much....
What the hell was I thinking, again? I should have driven somewhere. What ever I saved in calories I gained in meat bacteria.
ugh.

Yo no quiero Taco Bell, pero de todos modos me lo como
