Last night with J&L

Our dear friends J&L are on their way to Toronto for the next chapter of their life. Since we started looking into the possibility of moving to Portland, J&L have been a constant source of all things Portland. We are both very sad to see them go, but excited for them at the same time.
On their last night here in town, we went out with them for dinner and a drink. We discovered yet another cool place we'd go back in the years to come, a Mexican taqueria "Por Que No". All tacos are $0.50 off on Tuesdays. It's a tiny but crowded place.

The food is on the spicy side for me, but then again it's Mexican food. The tacos are delicious. I ordered 3 tacos, one shrimp, one calamari and one breaded cod. My nose was running like a leaky faucet while eating the calamari taco. That's why my body reacts to spicy food. But it's so good that I couldn't stop eating it. The shrimp was very good too. Cod on the other hand was overly salty. The food reminded me of a Mexican place in Chicago called De Cero, but with different ambiance.

After tacos we stopped by Thirsty Lions to meet their friends. There was also a song-writing contest going on at the bar. It was the finale. J&L's friend Sean was competing as one of the final seven.

 We left shortly after Sean performed. But we made sure to cast our vote for Sean before we left. It was so fun hanging out with the two and their friends. We wish they could stay, but we know there are a lot more excitement north of the border. We will miss you both.
