There’s something to be said about living in a small town. Sure, the job market is non-existant and there is nothing to do unless you create it yourself. However, there are some benefits, as well. Sure, there’s the lower crime rate and fewer violent crimes, but I attribute that more to the town having a lower density of people than the overall population, but that’s just my theory, and that’s not what I wanted to write about today.
In fact, I wanted to write about a wonderful experience I had at one of the local Mexican restaurants called Romo’s, last night. My wife wanted a chicken taco dinner, so I called the order in for pickup. I know the owner, Phyllis, and she happened to be the one who took my order. She is a great person. She has successfully operated her business as long as I can remember, and I’ve lived here and Joseph City (a tiny town about 10 miles away) my whole life. Phyllis gave me part of my order for free and even gave me some of the salsa that she usually only serves in house. This was the first time I had tried the jalepeño salsa and it was wonderful, although I still prefer the original. In fact, the original is my favorite hot sauce.
I’ve always loved Romo’s and suspect that I always will. Hopefully, I’ll start getting more calls to fix computers and setup Web sites for people so that I can afford to eat there more. Thank you Phyllis, for being a great neighbor, a great business owner and a great person.
If anyone is interested in the jalepeño salsa, she only serves it in house on Fridays. If you ever pass through Holbrook and want to have the best Mexican food you will ever have, be sure to stop at Romo’s.
