I've been there once myself. Yeah, their take on Mexican is very unique. (and delicious)

Hopefully, I can get back there soon.

My favorite is El Toro on Hurstbourne.

I'm going to Indy to avoid the mess altogether.

<b>KFC Says Hola! This Cinco de Mayo with New Grilled Mexi Bowls</b>

KFC Introduces Bold South-of-the-Border Flavors Exclusively to Southern California with the New Grilled Mexi Bowls as Part of a Line of New Grilled Menu Options

SAN MARINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Colonel is putting on his sombrero this Cinco de Mayo as Kentucky Fried Chicken introduces its first-ever grilled chicken bowl with south-of-the-border flavors. The new Grilled Mexi Bowl will be available exclusively in Southern California KFC locations starting April 30th in response to consumers' ongoing demand for fresh, bold, full-flavored menu items. The Grilled Mexi Bowl is part of a line of grilled chicken offerings from KFC that include the new Grilled KFC Snacker®, Grilled Twister® and Grilled Strips Kids Laptop Meal.

KFC's new Grilled Mexi Bowl is a combination of authentic flavors with 100 percent all-white breast meat strips marinated and grilled in a blend of herbs and spices. The grilled chicken is combined with Mexican-style rice, jalapeno pinto beans and topped with freshly made pico de gallo all in a convenient bowl.

Hmmm... hate to say it, but that actually sounds a spot tasty.

It certainly sounds tastier than their standard "bowl", but that isn't saying much. >_<

I liked La Rosita. Food was good. I like the way they do salsa but the first time I went there I was up all night casting food poison into the toilet via my face hole. It was also my last time.

The right idea, is what you have.

If you really want to get out of town, try Marimba in Shelbyville. The food is great and they have a nice deck for outdoor dining.

Never heard of it, need to try it. There used to be one on Brownboro by that name but it is long gone and so is the place that replaced it.

Some people react that way to spicy food too. And La Rosita takes some interesting twists with flavors. I would guess your system just wasn't ready for it.

You would guess wrong. I am very well travelled and quite diverse in the foods I eat. My combinations of foods and drink has made others cringe not just in taste value but they just don't go together. I have eaten things not exactly part of LEGAL American cuisine, without problems. Known to many to have a stomach of steel. You learn to have one in the service with the crap they serve. I also tend to eat extremely spicy hot foods along with the combinations that make people cringe. Typically, because I don't want to share. SO, La Rosita poisoned me, unintentionally. Also poisoned a friend, TWICE. She didn't learn the first time. Stomach of steel or not, it's hard to fight the poison.

I stand corrected. Hopefully, somebody will let them know if their food preparation practices need upgrading.
