Rosalita's Catina...

...right before Christmas, I ordered a deck of cards for $18. WHAT?!? Well, it wasn't your typical deck of cards. It was a deck with 56 cards to 56 different restaurants around the St. Louis area. Each card was for $10 off a purchase of $25. Check it out here if you're interested. I figured it we used it three times then we'd get our money back, right? Some of the places were restaurants we've visited before and frequently, others were ones I'd never heard of so I figured it would give us a reason to try out a new place, right?


This past Sunday, we headed down to America's Center for a landscaping exhibit. I know it doesn't sound fun but Matt's boss invited him AND me, and his wife and daughter and granddaughter went so I was pretty excited to get the invite. This was kind of like the first "real" time I've been invited to Matt's work stuff. Anyways, since we were downtown, I suggested that we use one of the cards on a new restaurant. Our choice was Rosalita's Catina:

So Matt ordered a beer ($5 which doesn't go towards the $25) and a burrito ($10). I ordered chicken tacos ($9) which only totaled us to $19. So even though I though it was ABSURD to pay $9.50 for cheese dip, we went ahead and ordered it so we'd be over $25. I must admit the $9.50 cheese dip was pretty fab!!! It was cheese dip with chunks of steak in it and sour cream and guacamole on top-yum!!! My tacos, well first they came out with beef, so they had to be exchanged but I thought the chicken and beef were mediocre, definitely not worth $9...they were pretty small to for that price. Matt only ate about half his because it was SO HUGE!!! We both agreed that it was good but nothing that we'd be like, "Let's drive all the way downtown for that!" Our bill after the coupon and with tax ended up being like $31. The cheese dip alone was worth blowing my diet for the day though!


It was sooo cold, I didn't have a coat on but it was Matt that was complaining how cold it was when we walked the three blocks back to the truck. How funny is that!!! As we got back to the parking lot, there were no attendants around. Matt was like, I think we got scammed and that's when I said, no-there they are. Here's a picture of the two parking attendants, sleeping in their car!!! If you look closely, the guy on the right has his mouth open!

So there's my restaurant review and a pic of our parking attendants!!! It was actually a pretty fun day and good quality time with hubs!
