Sunday Randomness #43: Ellensburg, WA has a great little Mexican restaurant named El Caporal II

Beautiful tile work and hand painted walls along with enormous real plants made the interior of the restaurant a joy to behold.

Plus they had carved backboards on the booths.

Complimentary chips and salsa-good but nothing really out of the ordinary.  We also ordered horchata which was good because it was not too sweet.

Beef chimichanga that was properly fried with a crispy outside shell.  Rice was fine, beans were good.

And the fried ice cream?  Absolutely fantastic!  Of course, we would find good fried ice cream at somewhere that we'll probably never see again.  It came with a house made fresh strawberry sauce that was out of this world.  I did mention to our waitress to please give the chef compliments on our meal, especially the fresh strawberry sauce and the chimichanga.

Hedgehog and family in her teeny, tiny college dorm room.  She brought a small microwave to supplement the two burners and a small dorm fridge under the counter top that comprises part of the room furnishings that she shares with two other roommates.
