The starters and the garlic bread came swiftly. My salad was a perfectly sized portion with ripe tomato slices and juicy slabs of mozzarella, while the asparagus spears were crunchy and packed of flavour. The garlic bread was fabulously tongue-numbingly garlicky, but perhaps a little too crispy.
Then out came the main courses and it took all of 10 seconds for us to realise we had ordered an awful lot of food.
I had easily enough spicy chicken to feed us both, and a steaming pile of hot tortillas, not to mention overflowing pots of salsa, sour cream and guacamole. Luckily it tasted fantastic. The chicken was richly spiced and with a thick, smokey hickory taste. And if that is the low fat, low sugar, low salt option then . . . wow!
Across from me, my mum was tackling an enormous chicken smelling barbecue fresh and a mountain of chips and savouring every moist mouthful.
Four fajitas down, and it quickly became clear I was not going to be able to go any further, while my mum had barely made a dent in her pile of chunky, fluffy chips.
Despite the wonderful array of desserts on offer, it seemed it would have to be an early bath for us both.
