I'm angry. Really. This post isn't meant to be snarky or humorous, but after?my wife's birthday last night, I'm angry.
At first I was saddened, but now I am angry.
We found Ernesto's shortly after we moved to San Antonio in July of '21. After reading a review online we had dinner there and LOVED it, and Ernesto. He inherited the restaurant from his father who died in January '21. His wife and incredibly good-looking (ask the wife) son, Ernesto the 3rd, work there as well. It is a family business. I gather his father was legendary in San Antonio for his warmth, generosity and cuisine skills. That's what makes me so angry.
Ernesto's can best be defined as Mexican-French fusion. The food is like nothing you've ever had before. It is not your typical, run-of-the-mill Mexican restaurant: it's expensive. And that's what makes me so angry.
When we dined there in the summer of '21, the place was PACKED. Ernesto greeted and treated everyone like family. He is the ideal host. Everybody loved him and raved about the food. Further, he successfully navigated the COVID nightmare; a big hat tip to him for that. And that is what makes me so angry.
I made reservations for 7PM and the day before I dropped off Lucy's birthday cake. When we arrived there were two other tables occupied. Lucy was concerned as there wasn't the crowd like last year. I reminded her that it was still early. And that's what makes me so angry.
We left around 8:45PM. And from the time we arrived until the time we left there were zero other guests: not one. You see, going to Ernesto's isn't like going to your neighborhood taqueria, it's a special night out. And special nights out thrive in a good economy. And that's why I am so damned angry.

There are thousands of Ernesto's around the country that are suffering and likely to lose their businesses because of the inept, treasonous idiots running the country. This is a crime. It did not have to be this way and these people did not have to suffer as they are. This has me really angry.
Go ahead, vote "the party line" and allow this travesty to continue. And if you do, you are a bigger idiot than those now in the seat of power.
Sorry for the rant, but I'm angry.
