Part of the problem with having a food site is that we start to think about everything we eat and drink as how it might fit into a post (Lynn less so than me). I try to turn this tendency off as much as possible as I want to experience the world through my senses and not through this site (Hemingway, a big influence on me would have understood). In any event, on our recent trip to Boston we ate at a nice Mexican restaurant called Cafe Sol Azteca. There are two of these eateries in and around Boston (we ate at the one in Newton) and they serve the Mexican equivalent of comfort food; very basic, very familiar, no pretense, no re-boot or re-invention, no "new" Mexican. We are not great Mexican food eaters but we enjoy the hospitality of the place and the portions of the food are generous as are the drinks (I had a great Cuba Libre there). Mainly, it was a great place to spend time with family and enjoy the simple pleasures of simple food.
