Comments on: The Best Tex-Mex in Fort Worth… http://www.wordsarenotenough.com/2008/07/02/the-best-tex-mex-in-fort-worth/ [live... from planet earth] Sun, 11 Sep 2011 02:01:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Joe Kennedy http://www.wordsarenotenough.com/2008/07/02/the-best-tex-mex-in-fort-worth/comment-page-1/#comment-252 Joe Kennedy Thu, 03 Jul 2008 20:51:28 +0000 http://blog.wordsarenotenough.com/?p=1688#comment-252 Arlington is pretty far. I had to drive out there the other day. I mean, Dorcas, I have a 4Runner. I'm not exactly fuel-friendly these days. It's just so far... my friends and I were planning a trip to Dallas via the railway for this weekend, but they had to do some family thing out west. And it's not so much that I'm a Fort Worth snob... because I'm in Benbrook, and there's not much to celebrate about Benbrook. It's just that I naturally have always had a dislike of Dallas. It's like, East Texas. I mean, ewww. East Texas might as well be Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, or Georgia. But Fort Worth is Central/North Texas... which is the last stop before absolutely nothing. There's something nice about being on the edge of a great expanse of nothingness, which is why I can't wait to move back to a coastline. As for the ants... I've called in for reinforcements, which should arrive in no less than 5 days. Arlington is pretty far. I had to drive out there the other day. I mean, Dorcas, I have a 4Runner.

Seriously, are you telling me you can't bring yourself to drive from Benbrook to Arlington? What kind of food expert are you? Just when I was thinking about hiring you to do my wedding photography if I ever get around to getting engaged, too. Well, I guess if you are against traveling to Arlington I'll just have to find someone else. Sigh, Joe is already becoming a Fort Worth snob. Oh, and as to the ants ... do you need a legal mediator for your battle? Perhaps we could come to a diplomatic compromise. Didn't we tell you that Texas had outsourced the welcome wagon responsibilities to the insects? :) I pity the man who won’t drive a few miles for good food.

But thanks for the tip. Art, I'll see about that. El Fenix was just bought by a guy from Dallas, so I'm sure its quality will drop significantly over the next year. It always goes that way.

Pioneer Parkway. Try the Super Quesadillas, or the cheese enchiladas. Also, don't forget to ask for fresh flour tortillas. Best around. Dorcas Joe -
