I got to M's house round about 9-am. RT was snoring on the couch. We pack, talk shit and generally get the lead out. RT is still snoring on the couch. M shakes him. Then says "Time to roll out." "Hey RT we gotta hit the road." he states in a authoritative voice. Then he shakes and speaks to him all at once " RT lets get on the road." Nothing. M puts on some tunes on what's left of the stereo we are packing to take to Vegas and RT starts to swing his foot to the beat. One short hour later we are on the road. The drive down the 5 looked a little bleak. RT was sleep again and we had just started the 3rd CD of M's Rebel Music Radio Show. M's show is on Radio Free Berkeley 104.1 fm 6-8pm on Sundays. But having been there for the show and listen to it before it just wasn't doing much for me.
Off in to the wild blue yonder. Almost as soon as we pull on to 46 I can feel the vibe change. RT is up. M's gettin' all talkive. He says "I got this spot I like to stop @ on the way up and back. The food is good and the place is crazy." Orchard after Orchard then he pulls to a stop. The place ain't much to look at but the food was fast, hot and good. They were out of the orchata (sp?) and stuffed peppers that RT wanted. He had a cig and seat out side instead. I had the hard taco and enchilada. Chicken all the way around. I ate till it hurt. I rolled out the booth past the juke box that was on and the TV that was off out to the Highway. Just a little under half way to the City of SIns. Well at least it tasted good so far.
I've stopped here several times on the San Jose to Bakersfield/Sequoia/Lake Isabella/Eastern Sierra drive. The first time we stopped, it was just by accident and we were expecting normal cheap mexican food. We were totally blown away. Good ingredients, well put together. Somebody in charge here really cares about making good food. Catch it while it lasts.
