open til 3 am

I only get to stay up late (and not working) during the weekend, and staying up late means craving for a midnight snack. Last night, it was a burger. Tonight, something Mexican-ish. I say Mexican-ish because, chances are, only fast-food joints are open at this time of the night. And fast-food chains like Taco Bell, Taco del Mar, del Taco, etc. can be hardly called Mexican restaurants. At best, they serve Americanized Mexican food.

I'm not really familiar with Mexican-ish food here in Seattle, but I figured they would more or less taste the same. I decided to just choose whichever offers the lowest prices, thinking if the food sucked, at least it wasn't a big waste of money. And of course, whichever was still open at this time.

I picked Taco Bell for those reasons. I am not a big fan of Taco Bell back home, but it had a less-than-a-dollar menu. It was also open until 3AM. I bought a soft taco for 89 cents and an apple caramel empanada for 99 cents.

For 89 cents, one could not and should not expect much. It was just alright, a little too much lettuce but it tasted fine. I've had better soft tacos, like the ones in UP CASAA, but this would do for now.

I was disappointed with the apple caramel empanada, though. I expected more. The first few bites were okay, kind of a sugar-high. But by the third or fourth, it was just too sweet for me. Nakaka-umay.

At least I was able to satisfy my craving. I'd say, for 2 bucks, it wasn't such a terrible waste of time.
