Have It Their Way!

This reminds me of the much-missed La Casita, in old Arlington, (a/k/a Speedy Gonzales's). Probably the best Mexican food I've even had in this region, it was a real dive. You'd want to go in a group, the larger the better. We only spoke English, the Korean waitress only spoke her native tongue, and the cooks only spoke Spanish. The result is that after all the inaccurate translations, there was a better than even chance you wouldn't get exactly what you ordered. We'd compensate by a bunch of us going in and ordering a wide variety - and then trade amongst ourselves whatever we got, usually ending up with what we'd actually ordered.
