T Stands For Neighborhood Restaurant

 

Before we begin, if you are a blogspot blogger, I am getting a TON of "Failed to Publish" notices.  If you don't hear from me for awhile, it's because blogger hates me and refuses to publish my comments to you.

This is a visit to a restaurant my foodie friend Sally and I went to back in late October or early November last year. 

Today we are going inside Mariscos Las Islas Marias.  I wondered if Mariscos was the owner's name, but soon learned that the Spanish word mariscos translates to seafood or shellfish in English.  Little did I realize. 

Some of you were here on Sunday to see the mural that was inside.  I did a bit more research and learned this is a second restaurant, the first one located in Kansas City, Kansas.

 

The menu was difficult to photograph because each page was encased in laminated plastic.  For the most part, this is the drink menu.  Some of it I understand, some not.

Next came the soups.  Some sounded good, but a bit pricey.

 

Then there were the appetizers.  Who in their right mind would spend $20-$30 (USD) on an appetizer?  Remember, this is Wichita, Kansas, not Kansas City.  Cocktails which along with the beers and mixed drinks from above, are my contribution to drinks today, were anywhere from $15.00 to $25.00.

Next up were several pages of entrees.  I really wanted a chili relleno, but the only thing I saw was Filete de Pescado Relleno.  I wasn't about to pay $25.00 for it and the waiter didn't speak English, so he was no help.  I later read it is filet of fish.  Certainly not any relleno for which I'm familiar.  I also learned the word relleno translates as something that has been stuffed.

Finally there were the house specialties.  To be honest, I don't even remember what either Sally or I ordered, but I KNOW it didn't come from this page.  It was apparently so mundane, I didn't take any photos of the food or even the water we both would have ordered.

Now it's time to share your own drink related post.  It can be gifts you received, photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, mail art, junk mail, catalogs, books, sketches, mixed media, drawings, paintings, handmade cards, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is digital, hybrid, or traditional, a favorite mug, cup and saucer, teapot, coffee pot, or even a wine glass. Regardless, please join us by linking below.  Bleubeard and I will gladly visit, as will other T participants.  Please link only your T post and not your blog in general.  Bleubeard would like to remind you that old photos are acceptable because they may be taken any time, not just on Tuesday and not just this year.  Please remember to visit your fellow T participants. 

 

 

I'd be remiss if I didn't remind you it's time to dig up your Second on the 2nd post.  Any length, any genre is acceptable, as long as it's been published sometime in the past.
