Best Kept Secret

As for a "best kept secret" of the Delta, I don't think it was much of a secret, but it was definitely my favorite spot. In Belzoni, there are two restaurants (there are really more than that but the others are "questionable.") One of those is a Mexican restaurant, Los Molcajetes (not sure about the spelling). Anyway, it's great food. We went there all the time last year. Meredith and I even had a "usual" when we went in-- and our usual is not easy to remember. Diet pepsi, lemonade, beef chimichanga no pico de gayo, cheese enchiladas with cheese sauce. I loved that place. There were some weeks we would end up there two nights in a row. It happens.

Meredith and I took four of her students there at the end of the year. It was their first time to eat Mexican food. We were the only ones in the place, so Meredith told them we rented the place out. It was a riot. We had so much fun.

Only drawback, the place is closed on Mondays, and we never remembered. Those were the days we always ended up at the Varsity, the only other restaurant in town.
