Ladies Lunch at Cimaco in the Gran Plaza

Nine of us met up front this Wednesday afternoon to hop on a Cerritos Juarez bus for the ride to the Gran Plaza for lunch.  

P1000569

I got park owner Felipe to take a picture of us.  Karin, Marilyn, Sandi, me, Janice, Pat, Pam, Eddie and Ruth.

P1000570

Across the street waiting for the bus the “ Wall Flowers!”

P1000571

I think Pam must be showing Karin pictures of her family!

P1000572

We got an odd bus today.  Two seats on one side and one seat on the other side.  More room for people to be packed in standing up I guess.

P1000573

We had to come in through the mall to find our way upstairs to the restaurant. 

P1000574

Cimaco….and it’s restaurant the Gourmet Cafe is upstairs. 

P1000575

There is an elevator but we chose the spiral staircase.

P1000576

We’re a lot happier than we look in this picture!

P1000577

The soup and sandwich part of the menu meant the waitress had to explain it to everyone, one at a time.  Pick a soup, a type of salad and then your sandwich.  Some things were included, some were not.

P1000578

I was teasing Ruth about her “non-alcoholic” green drink.  Pineapple, orange, celery and parsley.  I tried it and it was delicious….even without any booze!

P1000579

Pam had a sangria with lots of fresh fruit but it didn’t stay mixed and separated into layers.  Tasty though!

P1000580

I thought the tomato soup would be just a cup but it was a whole bowl.  Very, very good.

P1000581

Connie ordered a panini sandwich.

P1000582

Janice has a salad and ….maybe chicken salad sandwich?

P1000583

This was a brioche filled with (chicken salad?” that Pam ordered and it looks very tasty as well as very well presented.  I like the little hat on the sandwich.

P1000584

Lots of good stuff in that sandwich.

P1000585

Pam and her Mexican hat brioche!

P1000586

If we have room later there are lots of desserts as well.

P1000587

Hard to get a picture with the light through the big windows in the back.

P1000588

1/2 sandwich with Asian salad that went with the tomato soup.

P1000589

My sandwich which had chicken breast and spinach with a spicy Mexican salad.  After eating the bowl of soup I was hardly hungry and couldn’t eat all of my salad. 

P1000590

Eddie and Ruth shared lettuce wraps but they didn’t realize they’d have to make their own!

P1000591

Chicken salad sandwich and fries.

P1000592

This one has a greek salad with it.

P1000593

No one went hungry here.  We’d thought by ordering the 1/2 sandwich with soup and salad that we’d get less food but….we actually got more!

P1000594

I had to crop the two people in the left out as they were both chewing and it wasn’t pretty!!!

P1000595

So…lunch is done, everyone is full and now we will all disperse.  Marilyn and I went off to shop.  Me for sheets, as the bottom sheets on the bed in the rig have holes in them.  Marilyn, for a dress that she tried on yesterday and didn’t buy. 

P1000596

So the Cimaco store restaurant was a very good choice for ladies lunch. 

At the end of the day I didn’t buy sheets and Marilyn couldn’t find her dress!

The mall was crowded and full of Christmas shoppers.  Only six days till Santa comes.
