Supper at the Grandparents' House

Last night was Alejandro's "last supper" before his operation.  No, we did not go eat with relatives, as the title of this post might imply.  We went to a restaurant a couple blocks away from my hotel called "La Casa de los Abuelos" (Grandparents' House). 

"La Casa de los Abuelos" is a chain of restaurants with several locations throughout Mexico City as well as in Acapulco and Cancún.  They specialize in traditional Mexican food (supposedly grandma's recipes).  The food is neither spectacular nor gourmet nor innovative, but we found it to be a good place for ordinary Mexican cooking at a reasonable price.

Alejandro had "quesadillas", tortillas filled with cheese and other stuffings.

I had the Aztec soup (sort of a glorified "tortilla soup") and chicken breast covered with a "poblano" sauce.

It's not "fine dining", but I was pleased enough with the place that I was back there this morning for breakfast.  I had a very large and tasty Mexican breakfast for under $10 US.
