Title: TulsaNow lunch on Monday, March 30 at El Rancho Grande
Post by: RecycleMichael on March 25, 2009, 10:28:56 AM
Let's do lunch again this Monday. Everybody is welcome. Everybody is responsible for their own bill.

El Rancho Grande is at 11th street and Utica just west of the QT. The food is Mexican, and I have read that their specialty is enchiladas and tamales.

I have read that it is the oldest restaurant in Tulsa in the original location. 

I will get there around 11:30 to get us some table space. We need to estimate how many people are coming. If you can make it, please post here.

I thought El Rancho Grande was Italian.

Nope, Chinese.

I thought it was important to distinguish between Mexican, Cuban, Guatamalan, etc. I guess that was a stupid thing to add.

I am just easily confused. I thought Soy Milk was Spanish for "I am milk."

It's okay RM, this time. Just don't let it happen again.  ;D

Seriously, good food at that place.

See you there RM. I dig the random conversations you get into when you meet up with the TN group.

It was good. We had a small crowd, but the food was good and the conversation great.

The owner spent some time talking to us about the history and the waitresses kept my drink glass full.

We all got extra chips and salsa because it was a holiday, Veinte de Marcho or something like that.

Is the shoulder related to a bike accident?  Do you always meet at El Rancho Grande?  I haven't been there in decades.  We used to go there when I worked at Amoco at 6th & Boston.  If we had to work OT on Saturday we would take our "Meal Money" they used to give us and go there for lunch.

No, moving things out of the garage attic.  Narrow wet steps are a biznitch when you are as clumsy as I am.  I felt the "pop" right away.  I hadn't hit the bottom step yet and I was already thinking: "Schnitz! There goes spring rowing season!".

Good thing you're ambidextrous in your beer-drinking.
