This is Isabel's Cantina, 966 Felspar St. in Pacific Beach. That's also my cute little Honda Fit parked in front. Looks great outside of steezy restaurants.
The lovely ladies of Isabel's Cantina rockin plumerias in their hair.
The tables and chairs that await Tish's arrival.
Small kine decorations. Plumerias and some photos of Tish when she was young. My lil' sis wasn't diggin her old skool pics, but everyone else liked them.
Ra Ra and Ray Ray. They traveled the longest distance but were the first guest to arrive.
Waiting for everyone can get boring, so Vince and I started snapping photos of each other. That's me. "Sometimes I like to rock neeeeon."
This is Vince. He's ready to jump in the Octagon and punch somebody out!
A moth or Tinkerbell? You decide.
The gang anxious to see the birthday girl.
Daniel says he almost passed the place up, but he saw all the Filipinos outside and made a hard left into the driveway. Don't use the address I gave you Daniel, just look for all the brown peeps.
She's surprised!
She's happy!
She's hugging!
Blakey Boy just woke up. That's his "shy" lip.
Anne and Kaylene.
All the girls. But, where's Irish?
Edamame to start. A standard and a favorite. I think they threw some black pepper on there along with the salt. I was feelin it.
Brazil Bowl with chicken, brown rice and papaya mint salsa. Taste bud stimulus.
Don't forget the crazy coconut and red pepper secret sauce concoction that everybody LOVED. Vince was about to bottle that stuff up and take it home.
Lettuce wraps with sesame chicken, cucumber kim chee and peanut sauce.
Some happy eaters.
Kelly, our hostess with the mostess hard at work.
Kaylene and Blake are happy.
The award winning flourless chocolate cake with raspberry puree on the side.
Nuff said.
Kaylene and Uncle Vince. I used flash for this one. I don't like flash, but their still cute.
Daniel and Tish.
All the ladies and Blake.
ALL the ladies and more ladies.
Blake gives his overall approval. Happy Birthday Mom!
