A couple years ago, my dad discovered the yummy chicken enchiladas from Rio Grande; it wasn't hard to fall in love with them, my dad absolutely loved them. I had gone a couple times with my dad, but I had never entered their restrooms.I did everything to avoid restrooms, I had a phobia (like many of you) of using a public toilet. I still remember the first time I entered the ladies room, it was quite interesting. I wanted to keep staring at the sinks and take a picture. At the time I had a red brick LG phone, which had a full memory.... Ugh no picture opportunity. I absolutely loved the bathrooms, they reminded of a movie called the orphanage (not the one with the killer girl, but the one where the kids play hide and seek by knocking 3 times). The intriguing part of these bathrooms were the sinks, they were in the middle and surrounded by mirrors. When I entered the first time it was night time, and for some reason the bathrooms seemed bigger. The restaurant itself has a very old "fashioned" look; the inside has small square tables, big coca cola signs, high ceilings and a lady hanging from the inside of a taco, if I'm not mistaken it also has a train high up in the air. The restaurant is pleasant, and I personally really enjoy their food, specially their chips and salsa! They're the absolute B-E-S-T. I recently went back to this place with some friends and told them about the "orphanage" bathrooms. I went in, and this time I was a little disappointed. The restrooms didn't look the same as the first time I saw them. It was daytime, and the natural light was coming through the big windows, they looked much smaller from what I remembered. The sinks in the middle seemed like ehh.. Nothing special. Except this time I was able to take a picture.
I guess I created a picture in my mind from the first impression, that was after distorted from my imaginary high expectations. I wasn't as impressed as I was the first time and neither were my friends ( I believe the men's bathroom looks different). However, I will keep coming to enjoy their food. If you want to try out this place, it's located on:
