Reminded by Corn Tortilla

Recently visited a decent Mexican restaurant in Kyoto, which seems to be in severe short supply. This was my first Mexican food experience in over 10 years since returning from California.


The flavor of corn tortillas reminded me of L.A.'s Pico-Union neighborhood where I worked pro-bono along with friends on a community garden revitalization project. I cannot believe that was about 20 years ago. Back then we were all looking for some opportunity to serve local communities, the ones in need in particular. We were fortunate enough to get much involved in this joyous project.
