Making Mom Try Something Different

Last night I went out to dinner with Mom and Dad to go to a Mexican restaurant for a cultural activity for my current Masters in Education course on multicultural education.  We ended up at Los Portales, which at least Mom and I had not been to before.

The most common Mexican place we end up at is La Salsa, which sure is not the same being a chain, but it is nearby and more fast food.  Mom almost always gets a shrimp quesadilla.  Thus when she said that was what she was getting at Los Portales, which had a lot of different shrimp dish options, I would not let her.  She ended up with a dish with shrimp topped with cheese and a chipotle sauce.  It was spicy, but she did like it.
