On a related note.... my wife were on the way back from Toronto this
afternoon and looking for a place along the way to grab a bite to eat.
We were thinking a coffee and a muffin, but I spotted a Mexican place I
had heard about. I ended up ordering a full entree, a spicy chicken
burrito that came with a refried beans, Mexican rice and a salad. It
was delicious. There was an assortment of sauces, mild, medium and hot
(made with ghost peppers). Megatron added some sauce to the beans that
came with her steak burrito, but mine sure didn't need any extra heat.

There is no real Latino community around here, so it is not a region
where you should expect good Mexican food. It is still more Tex Mex than
Mexican, but I will definitely go back there.
