Little Vietnam meets Little Mexico

So Saturday night, Mark, Beth and I decided we wanted some authentic Vietnamese food so we headed out to a place in New Orleans East on Chef Mentuer(sp). Well this area has been predominately Vietnamese for awhile but things are changing. The area now has a Taqueria. Well the Vietnamese restaurant was closed so we drove around looking for a place to eat. Unfortunately, it looked really scary so we left but not before I saw the funniest thing. I saw a Latino guy with a JeriCurl. Too bad I didn't take a picture because it would have been a great blog picture. Just think Coming to America with Eddie Murphy. Classic! Anyway we ended up eating at a upscale Vietnamese restaurant which was good but a bit too pricey for me. Usually you can get away with spending 15.00 max at the hole in the wall places.
