The 'El Camino' obsession

OK I want to hear why everyone loves El Camino? I too am guilty of this weird obsession and I am not even a St. John's native. Every time I have been there we are treated poorly. Who are these people? The Sopapilla Nazis? It is like they know they have something we crave and so they can get away with treating customers poorly, closing at strange hours, and not keeping the cleanest conditions. This time we arrived at 3:30 so the restaurant was basically empty and we were waiting to be seated (as the sign indicated). After five minutes of waiting (with 2 children mind you) a waitress told us someone would be with us soon and then she sat down right in front of us and started eating a zappy burger with fries! Ty then starts complaining that he is hungry and Jonthan is being a bear. We wait five more minutes and then we are seated. Our waitress was nice enough but why can they get away with bad service? It is because I had the best Mexican Pizza, and sopapillas that I can remember. Theron had his usual stuffed sopapilla and even Ty and Jonathan gobbled up their cheese sandwiches and burgers. This place is addicting! Right now I am craving a greasy, delicious Mexican pizza supreme with red sauce (grande) and yes I can eat the whole thing alone.
So what is it about this place? Theron claims it is the enchilada sauce. I say that it is the grease they use to fry everything in. Those of you who are 'El Camino' addicts-don't be ashamed and let me know what you think....





I remember this Spanish bull rug since I was a little girl(maybe around five). It is actually one of my earliest memories. I was staying with my Grandma Brown(Elda) and Uncle Art (her brother) came by to visit and he wanted to take us out to lunch so we went to the only restaurant in town "El Camino." I didn't like Mexican food when I was little so I picked at the chips and stared at this bull rug for about an hour. I couldn't understand why they would want to show a bloody bull fight in a restaurant?

Just getting the hang of walking

Ok sorry I posted the pictures in the wrong order! View them starting at the bottom-






I love these Pictures that Sara took of Jonathan walking. His little right foot turns way out (just like his daddy) and I think it is so cute. I would have never thought to take pictures of his little legs, but I love it. Thanks Sara!
