    • ]]>     Chicken Taco Rensselaer, Indiana has had a sudden flurry of new restaurants: Papa Bill’s Pizza, A Slice of Pie Pizza, and Ayda’s Mexican Cuisine.  Mmm…Mexican food.

    Have I yet professed to you my undying love of Mexican food?  No?  Well, I love it. It is second only to pizza, in my opinion.    (Yes, I realize I am talking about a whole culture’s food versus a specific type of food but I don’t care: My blog, my rules) Anyway, back to Ayda’s.

    Ayda’s Mexican Cuisine is mouth-watering deliciousness in a fantastic location.  Okay, I admit: parking could be a little hairy because it is located smack on the corner next to A Slice of Pie Pizza with not many parking spots between them BUT it is right across the street from Iroquois Park – which has plenty of parking!

    Someday when there is actually warm weather and sun and the snow and ice seem like a distant memory…it  would be fun to let the kids loose and then walk across for lunch, especially because Ayda’s gives you a choice: carry-out or dine Monster Burrito Cut in Half! (steak)in.

    Did I yet mention the prices? Um, cheap!  Cheap, cheap, CHEAP!  Most everything was $5 bucks and comes with rice and beans.  Hubs ordered a monster steak burrito (that’s what it’s actually called) for $6.50, I got Combination #4: one chicken taco, one enchilada, and one tamale for $6, and a healthy order of guacamole with a big bag of homemade tortilla chips for $5.  Yum!  We cut the burrito in half and divided it all between the three of us…we STILL had a little bit of food leftover!

    There is no way I won’t be hitting it up again!  The kid loved everything, the hubs loved everything, and I kept sneaking guacamole out of the fridge all night so…yes: the new Mexican Restaurant was a hit with all of us!  The only question is…how soon can I get back!
