Mexico, the Taste of Oklahoma

After we got up and around and packed up the car, grandma took us out to Enrique's. Enrique's Mexican food is a small, family-owned restaurant which makes up about half of the Ponca City airport terminal on the edge of the town. The founder was actually Cuban, a background which is only now coming forward in menu items such as fried plantains and Cuban soups and other fish dishes. It's probably the only restaurant within 300 miles which serves fried plantains and makes me really wonder where in the world they get their food supplies in a town which is not even served by an interstate. The food is fantastic, the residents of Ponca really seem to appreciate it, and we always go whenever we're in town.

Anyway, we took off after lunch, heading up to our other grandma's house in Blanchard, and promptly got lost via the GPS. The problem is that GPS can't locate her address, but it thinks that it can, so we get totally lost, and waste a lot more time than if I'd just taken the route I always take.

But we did find it eventually, and visited with grandma for awhile before heading across the street to the new bare bones mexican take out place for some tacos and tamales.
