El Chico Mesquite Texas

I think we get comfortable in our own skin and forget what we get used to others find different.  Often when I am going out wearing a dress or skirt I wear a wig, unless I am going to work.  Last Friday I forgot and realized that it probably wasn’t the best of decisions.  Usually when I take my girls for Mexican it is in Greenville at Tamollys or Mexican Café or sometimes Tortilleria Mexico.  However last Friday I ended up taking my girls to their dentist in Dallas for a regular checkup.   On our way back we stopped at Town East Crossing area for some clothes shopping for the girls.  We happened to eat at El Chico in Mesquite Texas.  Going in as I kept getting stares I realized that here was me wearing a long skirt and makeup with two little girls and no wig.  Reagan asked to use the restroom after we were seated.  The waitress explained where it was but felt people maybe uncomfortable with me in the women’s restroom.  Explained it was for my 6 year old.  So I stood outside the door while Reagan went in and did her business talk about strange looks.  I got my share of them.  After she got done we went back to our table and ordered our food. Reagan ordered a taco all rice no beans.  Johnna the cheese enchilada and me the fajita for one.  When my fajita got their the two girls didn’t want their food they wanted mine so I got the Taco and Cheese Enchilada and they got fajitas.  I don’t think there was a waitress or bartender who didn’t stop by to see the guy in a skirt and two little girls.   The food was remarkably average the price was to high and didn’t really get to eat in peace.  Maybe others will have a better dining experience.
