Mexican month.\u00a0 And whereas we were all in agreement the month before regarding our restaurant of choice, we just couldn\u2019t seem to get our schedules to work.\u00a0 So this month\u2019s Divas is what I\u2019m going to call a Mexican Combination Platter.\u00a0 It\u2019s a combination from the Diva outing this month with other Mexican restaurant favorites.<\/p>\n<p>This year, the few available Divas for the evening tried out Flaco\u2019s Cocina on Delmar.\u00a0 Google translator defines \u201cflaco\u201d and \u201ccocina\u201d as \u201cskinny kitchen\u201d.\u00a0 Being that the menu claims to have a South Beach flair, I\u2019m going to take that to mean that we too can be thin like the beautiful people on the beaches of South Beach in Miami even when we chow down on their Caribbean and Latin cuisine.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, Flaco\u2019s isn\u2019t a typical Mexican restaurant.\u00a0 But who knew?\u00a0 The name looked Spanish to all of us.\u00a0 And becoming more typical in these Spanish-looking-named restaurants is the \u201cpay for your chips\u201d program.\u00a0 No free chips and salsa here.\u00a0 But let me tell you.\u00a0 It was worth it to pay for it.\u00a0 The variety of salsa and the fresh chips were delish.\u00a0 Four bucks for bottomless baskets of chips and salsa.\u00a0\u00a0 The favorite for us was the salsa picante.<\/p>\n<p>On another day, when stopping by a favorite Mexican restaurant by SLU only to discover it had closed down and reopened as Diablitos Cantina, the Traditional Diva experienced the \u201cpay for chips\u201d program too.\u00a0 And she wasn\u2019t too happy about it.\u00a0 I guess there really is no such thing as free chips anymore.\u00a0 However, you can still go to Chimichanga\u2019s on Grand, a Diva favorite from years back, they happily give you endless chips as well as great \u201ctypical\u201d Mexican food.\u00a0 Nothing fancy.\u00a0 Just Mexican, how we like it.<\/p>\n<p>The Divas have discussed the distaste for real Mexican food versus Americanized Mexican food.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think it\u2019s that the Americanized versions are better.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s just what we\u2019re used to.<\/p>\n<p>And speaking of what we\u2019re used to, what\u2019s the ingredient in the red sauce on some enchiladas we\u2019ve tried?\u00a0 That was the question some of us pondered on a recent visit to El Palenque in Ferguson.\u00a0 Cinnamon?\u00a0 That\u2019s what it tasted like.\u00a0 Not sure cinnamon is what I want mixed in with my rice and beans.\u00a0 And others agreed.\u00a0 No thanks.<\/p>\n<p>Flaco\u2019s Cocina is funky.\u00a0 Kind of like Venice Caf\u00e9 funky but not quite so extreme.\u00a0\u00a0 Bright.\u00a0 Artsy.\u00a0 Cool.\u00a0 They claim to have a fabulous patio, but we didn\u2019t even look in that direction as the massive downpours prevented us from checking things out out-of-doors.\u00a0 Our extremely personable waiter charmed us with his friendly demeanor so much so we told him that if we had an extra ticket to that night\u2019s \u201cbig game\u201d we were going to after dinner, we\u2019d take him with us.<\/p>\n<p>As I said, Flaco\u2019s Cocina is not what I\u2019d consider \u201ctypical\u201d Mexican.\u00a0 Their appetizers consist of\u00a0 Lobster Fritters, Seared Tuna, and Ceviche instead of items like queso dip and nachos.\u00a0 For entrees, the names are similar but finished products are more extravagant.\u00a0 They truly are \u201cprepared with care\u201d as they indicate on their menu.\u00a0 You\u2019re not going to choose from 100 menu items here and get three tacos with beans and rice for $7.99, but you will experience delightful, flavorful combinations.\u00a0 Their Fat Tacos can be stuffed with your choice of the typical beef or chicken, or you can be bold and get mahi mahi, tilapia, or tuna.\u00a0\u00a0 Want a more traditional item, try the chicken enchiladas or shrimp fajitas.\u00a0 But if you want to be different, you can get tofu.<\/p>\n<p>Even though they do not have a typical \u201cMexican restaurant\u201d menu with 100 items to choose from, they do have several interesting entrees that will require a return visit at some time.\u00a0 But if I\u2019m heading to Delmar and in the mood for Mexican, I will probably return to Mi Ranchito, a truly Mexican restaurant and Diva favorite from last year.\u00a0 Close to home, the Frequent-Diner Diva will choose Pueblo Nuevo in Hazelwood any time.\u00a0 The Quesadilla Las Fuentes at Las Fuentes in Florissant is the dish of preference for the Picky Diva.\u00a0 And of course, the margaritas at Las Palmas on Woodson make any entr\u00e9e better.\u00a0\u00a0 Oh, margaritas\u2026and free chips, that is.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dining Divas By Lisa Kampeter It was that time of year for the Dining Divas in May.\u00a0 The Mexican month.\u00a0 And
