I finally went to Mexican Radio, the mexican restaurant that won for best in the Metroland before, even though it is almost an hour outside Albany. Annie came up from Westchester, and it was about a halfway point to meet and catch up after all these years. She suggested it, (or I still wouldn't have been there!). The decor was very beautiful, that yellow on the wall is almost what I have in my living room! no wonder I love it ! The one wall has these beautiful crosses - I don't think you can see it in my picture, but they have hearts, jesus faces, and other interesting symbols. The service was great, a young man who was very personable, friendly and gave good suggestions from the menu and specials. Then of course, the food. Annie had guacamole and chips, and a vegan burrito that was served cold, with side of rice and beans. I had a bowl of the most wonderful soup - first of all you know I love that butternut squash soup -well this was a b
owl of half butternut soup, cool, and sweet and creamy - and the other half had a spicy hot black bean soup, with some crema drizzled across and some chopped up greens in the middle (parsley? mint? I don't remember darn it!) It was incredible the way the tastes mingled. delicious. Then I had the mexican mac n cheese, which had onions, peppers and was way cheesy but not like kraft....very good. Of course we also had a pitcher (small) of margaritas - helped the conversation get started after all these years...
It was great, and I can't wait till we do it again.
Old friends are the best friends.
