Tuesday - Los Mariachi's.

In Wauseon, you really only have a choice of five sit down restaurants, that aren't owned by multi national corporations. You have Tiffany's Cafe, John Webbers, Smith's Restaurant, The Grasshopper, and Los Mariachi's. Three of these five restaurants are home style cooking, the other two are Mexican restaurants. Tonight I visited the superior Mexican restaurant, Los Mariachi's.

Coincidentally, when I was performing my normal research for this blog I discovered this review on yelp.com:

"Okay, I admit that when I went I was a little hung over. And I admit that I love Mexican food and there's no shortage of that in Phoenix. And I admit that I love Hispanics and there's no shortage of hot ones here in Phoenix. So, all these factors played in on my experience at Los Mariachis. I went there with my mom, and she has been there several times before. I ordered the chicken quesadillas with a side of beans and rice. Very good!! And I'm quite positive that the beans are made from scratch (i.e., not out of a can). What I couldn't eat there was just as good the next day." -Bacon Boy

What was actually weird about this review is that it was written by my cousin who lives in Phoenix, and even he can say that Los Mariachi's is awesome..my cousin also seems to be attracted to Hispanics...learn something new everyday.

The evening was good, I went on the journey with my heterosexual lifemate Jake Richards, who is now newly engaged (shout out!).

I got the Jim Nachos, which is just chicken, rice, and queso. Jake on the other hand consumed a mountain of fajitas that looked like this by the end:

Allow me to quote Ms. Jackie Utzler in regards to this photo: "What ever that Los Mariachi's is, it makes me want to throw up".

Now Ms. Utzler has never eaten Los Mariachi's so I can forgive her for the comment. However, several of you are not Los Mariachi fans because of "the bad service", "the illegal labor", "the lack of english spoken", all are valid complaints, but I dare you to find a place that has Jim Nachos for under $5. I dare you.

So the next time your in Wauseon, stop by Los Mariachi's on Shoop Avenue, bring a English to Spanish Dictionary, and bring your appetite because Los Mariachi's will conquer your stomach for sure.

Tuesday - Frickers.

If there is one thing that Wauseon doesn't have, it's a good place to eat chicken wings. It is for this reason that several times a month, a journey must be made to find chicken wings. The destination of this journey is a little place called Frickers.

Frickers is a sports bar that serves some of the best wings in the area (unless they're burnt...then they're the worst). Not only do they cook up some of the best wings, but on Tuesday nights they are also the cheapest, costing 35 cents per wing. The overall cost of this spectacular meal of 10 chicken wings is only $3.50, assuming you don't splurge for the $2.39 soft drink, and don't include a semi-generous tip for the hard working, yet, scantly clad waitresses. Frickers is a fun break in the week, and every Tuesday becomes a blessing instead of a burden.

This week, Me, Brett, Neuy, Landon, and Montana made this journey to the east to enjoy the wings of Frickers.


We were fortunate that the people of Toledo were not in a self loathing mood to eat chicken wings, so the wait for a table was a minimal 20 minutes. Several of us have waited over an hour for the succulent wings in the past. We got our table, stuffed ourselves, and topped of the evening with Cold Stone. Which is a combination I dare you to top.

If you ever visit Wauseon, I advise you to make the long Journey to Frickers. If their wings don't hook you, the charm of the wood paneled walls certainly will.
