High Noon: I (Heart) Cinco De Mayo

I love Cinco de Mayo. I look forward to this day all year long. It’s the one day of the year I know that I can get Pan Fried Tacos at the Mexican Food Factory on Fourth Street here in Coeur d’Alene. Sure I can get a fried taco at any roadside stand through out the year but it just isn’t the same. First, the roadside stand tacos aren’t nearly as hearty or filling. Second, when I go to the roadside stand, I’m likely eating there all by myself in my car. Going to the Mexican Food Factory here in town is like going to an informal reunion of old friends of all different ages. Last Friday, Cinco de Uno, I grabbed my camera as I went out the door to the Food Factory. I took some photos so I could help pressure the owners into creating a Facebook page/MamaJD. More here .
