Dining with David: Los Bandidos de Carlos & Mickey's

Los Bandidos de Carlos & Mickey's - El Paso, TX - February 7, 2011
Got a chance to go to another local place for some good Mexican food; not even a web site here!  Started off with some huge chips; these are full shells fried.  The salsa was good and had just the right kick on the end.  I even got to have cherries and limes in my Coke; gives it a good twist and nice offset; just the right balance of acid and sweetness with that ole Coke kick.  I was talked into getting the Shrimp Jalisco.  It was standard shrimp (what do you expect in El Paso) stuffed with green chilies and spices, wrapped in bacon with some hot sauce on the side.  It was good, not great.  We did end with some very hot sopapillas.  These were very good and light covered in cinnamon and got to top off with honey.  Great atmosphere and place to visit.
