Week Two Good Experience

One day I went to down town Las Vegas and had an amazing experience! Dinner, at "Diego", a restaurant at the MGM made my night. Moving to Vegas, getting a job, and acting in a few movies meant it was time to celebrate. Diego is an authentic Mexican restaurant where the food splendid and the service superb. Granted we waited a little longer then desirable, but once Travis and I were seated it was service that only a king has pleasure of experiencing. Immediately a waiter by the name of Leo attended us. He asked what we preferred to drink, "Water to start, or maybe a Margarita or shot of Tequila?" He stated, with the most appealing smile on his face. Due to all the good things that have been happening in the past few months we had to celebrate big time. "A Pitcher of Margarita "stated Travis. "Right away", Leo replied. Not more than one minute went by when a lady came by and made a bowl of fresh guacamole dip right at our table. So far the night is going great. Leo came back with a big pitcher of margarita and then took our order. This was not just the normal order taking though. Not only did he point out the specials like any other restaurant, but on top of telling us the top sellers he described with a mouth watering descriptions of the most traditionally authentic entries. "Pork marinated in our special homemade marinara sauce for twelve hours. Then wrapped in banana leaves and surrounded by bell peppers, slow cooked in a fire oven for eight hours and served with a side of habanera sauce!" I can only imagine what I was getting prepared to eat! Not only was the dish presented exquisitely but the pork was a tender as a dinner role. A feeling of euphoria overwhelmed me as I took my first bite. Pork filled with the flavor of peppers, and habanera sauce that set my hair on fire! Leo didn't only give us the service that is granted to kings but he insisted on an outstanding meal. Followed by vanilla ice cream with a decorative display, he came back and handed each of us a complimentary shot of "Twenty year old aged Tequila" he told us, not in a typical shot glass though, but it looked like a miniature Champaign glass. The night was complete with our bellies full of incredible food, and hearts warmed with divine service.
