Just after reviewing our newest buffet restaurant, I made the quick transition from Vegas to San Diego without even leaving our town.
San Diego Mexican Restaurant offers a wide range of flavorful cuisine. Before becoming a full-service restaurant, this place was best known to the South Waco community as Chepas and was open Friday to Sunday with a minimal menu. The weekend menu consisted of tamborcitos and enchiladas potosinas on Fridays, barbacoa tacos on Saturdays and, of course, your traditional menudo on Sundays.
Attention WacoFork readers. This is Cory, and I need your help to send me "Over the Edge" and help raise $1,000 for Communities in Schools of the Heart of Texas! If we can raise $1,000 before September 27, I will rappel down the side of Baylor's new McLane Stadium. How cool is that!
Today's trivia prize is $20 to Kitok's. Classic Rock lovers are going to nail this one.

I noticed this afternoon that both the Xristo's and Mrs. Thompson's Cupcakes trucks were parked and closed.
The reason I noticed was I wanted to follow up on the Waco Trib's story on Mrs. Thompson's, the recently arrived dessert truck. But I understand how they would both need to take a breather on Monday. After all, it's probably going to be a hectic weekend for the downtown food truck folks.
I've been hearing rumors about a food truck in Robinson that is so big, with jaws so powerful, that it has been known to carry away small children and even full-grown adults.
Not really. I've just been watching River Monsters a lot. So now, I want to write every recon blog in the voice of Jeremy Wade, inasmuch as I want to make my normal recon blogs into races-against-time to catch a predator before it can cause further damage to humanity. But then I suppose once I caught the restaurant, I would just release it right back into the wild as if there was no reason to catch it in the first place. Also, I'm going to end each blog with the phrase "Now I'm going to catch the really big one!"
First of all, I knew I was pressing my luck on Friday the 13th.
But people have been talking about the new Chinese/Mongolian grill restaurant: Vegas Buffet. With the move of our local Peter Piper Pizza a mile or so away to New Road and Franklin, this huge location opened up and the Vegas folks landed there. By the way, there are no slot machines.
My 11th grade economics teacher, Mrs. Wickman, told us one day why we liked eating lunch at Leal's multiple times every week.
She said it was because it was a local restaurant where we could see the owner, Cesar, every time we went in the door. My snarky, inner-monologue response was "Ummm, no. I like it because I can get taco meat, potatoes, cheese and guacamole on a burrito and free chips and salsa to boot for less than $5." This was the glorious era known as the mid-1990s, but even then eating lunch for less than $5 was a rarity.
