combo platter:Festival Mexicano

I was seated across from this section of the table; my place contained a giant bowl of sopa ranchera (chicken soup with cilantro, rice, onions, and avocado bits that I ate around), ordered spicy. Also the sangria special ($4/glass, a fair amount of fruit). Elsewhere around the table were other people who ate other things covered in cheese.
Good tip for lactards: you can always do Mexican restaurants if they have chicken soup. I don’t know that it will be as good as Festival Mexicano’s chicken soup but it is always worth a try.
