Wall-E

This past Tuesday was my food exploration day. Before lunch at work, I had been wondering what to have for lunch. For some reason, I have been craving some Chipotle. So I left my cuby around 2ish and head out in search of Chipotle, which would be in Tysons. Got to 7, saw all the traffic created by these late holiday shoppers, decided to turn around. I ventured out to the opposite direction away from the mall and found this little mexican joint called Burrito Brothers. From the outside, this place does not say much. Three customers during rush lunch hours, typically that would be a decision maker for me not to get in, but for some reason I was still drawn to find out. Tacky ass yellow, red and green decorated along the front windows. Mmmm...Typical mexican I said and went in to satisfy my curiosity.

The owner, a typical older, short and a little chubby mexican dude with an attitude stood before me behind the counter. I took my time reading the menu right on top of him, which irritated his ass big time. It was one of those time where he could not step away from the counter, cause I might put my order in the minute he move his foot and yet it had been too long for him to stand much longer cause I stood there more than a good five minutes reading each shit on the menu. It was definitely mano-i-mano stand off moment. Me against one of the Burrito Bros.

Not sure who won the battle, but I ended up getting myself a rice platter with barbacoa and a glass of tropical fruit drink (that's what he called of what I thought to be mango juice). Got my food and first impression was, "Mmm..this looks better than expected". Just for information, I like my mexican spicy, either its the food or the mamis. So I went to the condiments counter and saw that they have four different brands of hot sauce. I picked the shadiest looking bottle possible to make my authentic mexican food experience more authentic. What I meant by shady was something that has funky ass color, and seems like the label was just glued with elmer's glue by his three years old daughter on the back table five minutes ago. Dripped it on the barbacoa and damn, that was the spiciest and close to best tasting hot sauce I've ever had in my life. Shit was good. Satisfied and head back to work.

Fast forward four hours later, got off work and got a phone call from lilmofo. Said he wanted to meet me for some kabob in K-City, which twenty mins later he would cancel the plan 'cause he did not feel like driving. Called up someone who claimed he's my brother thought he might be interested, but he said he just ate, so maybe in couple of hours. So while waiting for couple of hours, I went stop by at Wall-E's. Chill at his crib for a bit while trying to figure out what to do. Started wondering aimlessly around 7, cause Wall-E and I are the same type of person. We don't plan shit. We just see what we feel at the moment and act on it, so after half an hour in traffic just to go about a mile, we decided to hit up one of his fav kabob place (oh..what a coincidence, two kabob offers in one night). Ok, I said to myself, cause I'm always up for new things. I tend to get bored eating at the same place everytime, which some people like to do religiously. Got to the place, sat down, let Wall-E ordered everything, the tea, meals etc.

Tea came, sipped it, Perfect! it has a good aroma and taste. I could not wait for the food, which supposed to have a fresh un-cook egg yolk on the top of the rice. Everyone that knows me, know how I go crazy over raw egg yolk. It's one of my fav things in the world. Food was served, saw the yolk and I knew it was an awesome night already. Good food with good convos as always, before we knew it three hours passed by and I got my stomach full. Head home and saw I got 15 missed calls from lilmofo, my mom, jbro, fake ass brother, and P-zee. Did not realize the phone was on silent, which later on I realized it was a good thing 'cause I do not like interruption during my meal.
