The Mexican food here sucks. When you buy a "Fajita Pack" at the grocery store, the seasoning they put in smells and tastes like Louisiana Barbecue and green chilies are not a thing here. Salsa sucks too. And refried beans? Quoi?
This discovery has sparked a wave of questioning from expats alike who know the real Mexican flavors. I ordered a quesadilla that was full on Mexican-like with green chilies inside and Emily and Bryce got humongous burritos that made your face feel like it was on fire. The rice in it was total Mexican rice too!
Future referance: Metro Line 4, to the right of the Gare De L'Est station (looking at it) towards the canal. It is next to a bookshop and it is literally a window that you order out of.
The guy that was taking orders was from Guatemala, could speak perfect English, and was really quite nice. As we waited for our food, two other english-speakers started talking to us and they were really funny black guys. This Mexican window just brought all sorts of fun surprises.
And I'm pretty sure this is the canal that Amelie Poulain was pushed into...mais, je ne sais pas.
