SuperMex and a battleship challenge

For a few years now I have been told about this mexican food place here in Vegas called SuperMex and how awesome it is. A friend of mine makes it a point to go here whenever in town, even the brief mention of this place on twitter and I get direct message death threats from him.  I have had the chance to go here many times, but something or another always comes up and well I never make it…. That was until I came across a deal on Groupon for SuperMex.  It was a great deal, $24 for around $50 worth of food so I grabbed it up in hopes it would actually get us into the place.

The other night Kat and I decided it was finally time for us to make the venture to SuperMex and see what all the talk was about.  Our normal sit down mexican restaurant has always been Lindo Michoacan, which we hold in high regards. We chose to goto the SuperMex location right up the road from our apartment which makes you doubt the quality since it has a gaming bar attached to it, and its right next to a gas station/McDonalds.  Upon entering there was a sign telling us to seat ourselves, we grabbed a booth and our waitress was on the ball with coming over and checking in on us.  With the Groupon in hand the waitress explained what all was included starting with the tacos Tijuana appetizer, two item combo plates, flan, and their top shelf margaritas.  For the appetizer we decided to get the chicken version and it was really good, I think this will be added to out “what to get” next time we are there list.

We have also been toying with creating a drinking Battleship type game, in order to properly brainstorm this we have been playing drinking battleship on the iPad … so far we have decided that we really need to figure out some rules, as drinking every time you miss is umm well not a logical thing to do lol.  More on this later.

Well here we go…

I have been meaning to write something up about the last couple of weeks in my new home.  The move went well, seemed like it was never going to happen but then finally the day came.  Had a nice going away party over at Chads, had a few drinks, and then a few more.  I will hopefully post the pictures on my flickr when I decide to stop being lazy.  The morning after the party we packed up and did the final run through of the place.  Then we hit the road, a few hours later than I had planned but whatever.  After getting into Vegas we unloaded the truck and then I unloaded the rest of my car.  I have now realized that I have a few too many clothes…  I should downgrade. 
Other than the move I have just been hanging out, enjoying this like a mini vacation.  I am liking Vegas more and more everyday, I mean there is a Jimmy Johns and a BW3′s nearby what more can you ask for? I have also discovered a love for Disc Golfing, kind of wish I had picked up on it sooner… but better now then never I guess.  I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss the ocean, but its only a few hours away.  I am still looking for a dive bar near by, one that is less about the video poker and more about the cheap drinks and good atmosphere.
The only downfall I have found thus far with this place is the fact that you can drink 24/7 … That could end up being a bad thing.  On the job front, well thats another story.  I had an interview the 2nd week I was here, but still have not gotten the job.  Its somewhat depressing when I start to look at bills and rent and know that I dont have the funds… But ohh well I figure everything else fell into place with moving here so maybe a job will land on my lap soon enough.
