    It’s finally time folks! Since Mosca is probably in San Marcos now, I thought I’d go ahead and start our OFFICIAL MEATUP POST for the October 24’ HoeDown. A few folks are also traveling today, so this is where you can post all your food and travel pics if ya want. Smart ass comments are also welcomed, if not expected. 🥸 With the rest of us coming in tomorrow, there’ll be lots more stuff to post afterwards. Looking forward to seeing familiar and some new faces! Carry on…

          Plenty grass to be cut to reimburse bail money. It's called "Go mow it."

            Well the plane landed and was at the gate 20 minutes early… and then there was a 75 minute wait for the rental car. I was going to go to a place in San Antonio called The Institute of Chili, but I couldn’t verify they were open, and nobody answered the phone, so instead I headed into San Marcos.

            I asked someone “in the know” where I could get some good tacos here in SM… she gave me a pamphlet “Where to Dine in San Marcos”… then I looked at her over the top of my glasses, she smiled, and she wrote down on a piece of paper, “Toma Taco”.

            I make great salsa. But nothing like this. I know, all salsa looks the same, and you can’t taste a picture. This stuff is AMAZING. I can’t tell what is in it that is different. I’m going to guess that it’s a little chicken bullion, and maybe cumin? It’s just the tiniest shade of something, I don’t know what.

            That’s an order of taquitos with avocado and queso fresco. You get FIVE. You can mix the meat, so I got two carne asada, two carnitas, and one chorizo. On the side you have a pan seared jalapeño (not very hot) and a couple pan seared scallions, cilantro, onions, and lime, and charro beans. ESTUVO INCREIBLE. They served two side sauces in squeeze bottles: a jalapeño cream sauce and a tomatillo-ancho sauce, both were excellent but the tomatillo sauce was OUTSTANDING.

            Sorry Sid P only one meal; this one was excellent, and didn’t leave me wondering WTF the way Black’s Original did!

            Couldn't find a BBQ spot so we went to a steak house. I got the chicken fried chicken, something different from what I can get at home. Chicken was very tender, nice to have some variety.

            I did a quick reconnoiter of the grounds.

            First, the outdoor sitting area.

            Nice grill.

            The first indoor sitting area:

              That's a really nice looking place. Should be some nice hangin' out to be had. Now don't get crazy John, 10:30 is pushing it. Y'all be good.

            A room. They’re pretty loaded up, for being pretty compact. If I were a traveling rep, I could spend an extended stay here, but it would max out at a couple-t’ree weeks.

            And a full sized fridge. Some PA kolbassy and a big ol’ bag of cheese, mustard, hot sauce, and some Texas beer! That’s the high life.
