La Tia






Today Tomory and I went to get our marriage license. Conveniently across the street from the county office was La Tia- a very good Mexican restaurant the specializes in mole. I had the Gambas al Cafe (mole) and Tomory had the Quail in Black Mole. Each entree came with a nice vibrant bowl of cream of spinach soup, and we both ordered horchata ( the best ever) to drink. Served with hot, thick, handmade corn tortillas. My rice that came with the shrimp had thin slices of honeydew melon on top- delicious! Our waiter was so sweet and brought us a small bowl filled with hot water and sliced limes to clean our gunky mole hands at the end of the meal. Highly recommended if you are in L.A.
Thank goodness we had such a hearty meal, because then we had to go wait in line for about 2.5 hours to get our marriage license.
