Germexican!

Well we finally did it.  Monday morning we woke up, goofed off and bit and hopped the bus for Breisach Germany and the fabled El Sombrero! Mexican eatery.  The bus ride there is really quite painless, only a few Euros round trip and a comfy 45 minute ride through the countryside and we are in Germany.

Gotta confess I was hoping our experience at El Sombrero would be a bit of humor for the blog.  Surprisingly, it turned out to be pretty good.  Who knew a Pakistani family on the French border of Germany could pull off some reasonably decent Mexican food??  Well, they did.

We opened with good German Weiss-beer, always a good choice to go with chips and salsa.  Matt opted for fajitas while Laura, Nita and I cheated and got the "Mexi-plate" combo option.
Chips and salsa for 4.  They don't quite have this one right.  Salsa was really good tho!

I really, really enjoy dining outdoors while the weather is nice.  We lounged in the dappled sun awaiting our meals with no little humor and dread.

Turns out we were in for a bit of a treat.  The fajitas were, well fajitas.  Perfectly serviceable.  Our Mexi-plats were big, really big affairs sporting 3 different burrito kinda things with chicken, beef and all veggie respectively.  The whole mess was served up with lots of veggies, pico de gallo, guacamole(from a jar) and some odd chicken wings that didn't make a whole lot of sense, but were tasty.

Yep, fajitas in Germany


All this was 13Euro.  Not bad considering none of us could come close to finishing it.  Tasty!


All in all it was a really passable meal.  The food and beer were great and people watching in Germany has its own charm from time to time.

We swung through the town a bit to do some shopping till we realized we had just a few minutes to get back to the bus stop or be stranded.  Made the bus and got home with no problems.

Breiasach really is a pretty town.


That evening we had a light dinner of cheese and sausages along with some terrific buffalo mozzarella based brushcetta that Matt made.  Nice way to end the day.



No big plans tomorrow, might rain.  We shall see that comes.
