You can go there for Texas breakfasts, the aforementioned chicken fred steak, BBQ brisket and pulled pork, fried chicken and on and on. You eat three meals in one day there and you will acquire a twang so authentic folks will think you graduated from Tyler Barber College and grew up listening to Wolfman Jack on XERF. Personally, I like Bubba´s jalapeños pickled both in escabeche and bread and butter style. Never tried the chicken fried steak but, let´s face it; chicken fried steak is, by God, chicken fried steak.
I agree with your last comment there, by god any will do. The drill is to prove to Tere that Mexicans do not have exclusive bragging rights to greasy food.
I am going to have to find one of these breakfast places because we did not opt for the Nueva Posada and its included complete breakfast after all. We did check the place out and the rooms were nice enough but not the comfort I am accustomed to having here in this town, especially not for the price. We ended up once again at Danza del Sol and this time travelling with just Tere and I we took the jr suite that is a one-bedroom with outdoor patio, kitchen with commercial stove, and a dining room apart from the large livingroom with fireplace. Had we known we would be returning we would have brought some breakfast items to cook up in our spacious suite.
I ended up with my wireless internet even though that service is only supplied in the hotel's lobby. By mentioning that was my concern the man at the desk gave me a room that is just in back of the lobby and within reach of the signal. Problem solved. The difference in price was $1200mx a night for the room at Nueva Posada vs. $850mx for my huge suite at Danza del Sol so I am thinking I can have a fairly large breakfast at a local restaurant for that price difference. The off-street parking at NP was in a very tight spot that was filling up very quickly just in the time I was at the desk and looking at the room. The parking lot at DdS is huge and uncrowded. What can I say? I am spoiled, rather, I spoil myself at every opportunity.
I guess I will take my chances at Bubba's. The food sounds good, no problem there, but that twang... that could happen. Though I am a native Calfornian and my mother the first of her family born in California, our greater family has its roots in Arkansas. Any time after visiting with them for a short period I pick up their accent. The ability to mimic works well for me here in Mexico because I have good pronunciation and if I limit my speech I can pull-off being Mexican, something I often consciously do when I am around Americans I do not know.
That was my other problem with NP, the gringo crowd was arriving in huge numbers and I didn't feel I would fit in or would want to try to do so. They all seemed like they were nice enough folks at first glance but there is just something about the way they slaughter the language when trying to go native. They were coming in huge numbers, enough that I might pick up their accents, enough that I was afraid some of them may act like or do something American and I was afraid of guilt by association. I should know better than to worry though, this is where English-speakers come to learn the ways of the people and culturalize some before moving on to other parts of this country.
