Why Plaza Mexico?  Kind service; serviceable food.

Our flight into New Bern, NC, was late.  Once we took the drive from New Bern to Beaufort (where restaurants close rather early, it appears), there were twenty minutes left for us to grab something to eat before the 10pm closing time.

Consequently, we didn't have much opportunity to consider the expansive menu with any detail or care.  (Or, to be precise, we didn't feel we had the time; no one on the staff rushed us.)  My spouse and I centered on the steak quesadilla, which, given the hour, we decided to share.  Our son and his significant other ordered a cheese quesadilla.  We were surprised when ours arrived as a full meal (rice, etc.), with two steak quesadillas, but their cheese quesadilla arrived in solitude and on a small plate. We had assumed we'd ordered similar types of meals.

So, there appeared to be difficulty in our translation.  But no matter. 

The food was good, we were still un-rushed, the chips and very garlicky salsa were welcome, and we had finally gotten something to eat after our journey.  We stayed, engrossed in conversation, until we noticed that staff members were putting chairs on tables. 

It was all just fine, and perhaps when we're back, we'll have more time to peruse the menu carefully, and I will be able to write much more.  For now, I can say with confidence that Plaza Mexico is certainly worth a try.
