Mexican Food and Gambling Over Coffins

Friday night if family night out. Over the past few months we have explore many restaurants on Mactan and surrounding Cebu.

TEQUILA JOES (review)

Tonight the family wanted Mexican and the only Mexican I knew was Tequila Joes at Ayala. I had been there once before and was impressed but decided to give them another chance. Firstly upon entering there was not obvious seating available for us, and none of the stuff seemed to pay us any regard so we stood in the middle of the restaurant feeling a bit silly. We left and did some window browsing before returning later.

When we returned there was available seating so we went in. Eventually a waiter came over and cleared away the last diners plates and took our order. One interesting observation was that despite being a Mexican restaurant there were lots of Filipinos there eating typical Filipino food like pork chop and rice.

We ordered Mexican food. When it arrived it was even worse that I remembered it last time. We ordered six different dishes which was about half of the Mexican menu options. The family was totally unimpressed with the food. Not much else to say about it really.

More restaurant reviews soon.

GAMBLING OVER COFFINS

To totally change the subject while we were driving home the wife noticed people gathering around a property as we drove by and saw a coffin inside. She said that people inside were gambling and that she thinks is totally disrespectful and hypocritical. She then explained that such public gambling would normally be illegal and subject to police prosecution but it is tolerated when a coffin is present. Therefore people jump at the opportunity to gamble publicly when there is a death. A practice she finds disgusting.
