Cheap Burritos at La Casita Gastown on Mondays
On Mondays at the Mexican food restaurant La Casita Gastown you can get regular burritos and margaritas for very cheap:
$5 Burritos
$3 El Jimador Margaritas
A burrito, or taco de harina is a type of Mexican food. It consists of a wheat flour tortilla wrapped or folded into a roughly cylindrical shape to completely enclose a filling. (In contrast, a taco is generally formed by simply folding a tortilla in half around a filling, leaving the semicircular perimeter open.) The flour tortilla is usually lightly grilled or steamed, to soften it and make it more pliable.

Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of "All Hallows' Evening"), also known as All Hallows' Eve, is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on October 31, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows (or All Saints). According to many scholars, it was originally influenced by western European harvest festivals and festivals of the dead with possible pagan roots, particularly the Celtic Samhain. Others maintain that it originated independently of Samhain and has Christian roots.
Typical festive Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (also known as "guising"), attending costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.

Vengan a Dar el Grito
Fiesta de la independencia mexicana en Restaurante La Casita Gastown - 15 de septiembre a las 6 pm.

La Independencia de México fue la consecuencia de un proceso político y social resuelto por la vía de las armas, que puso fin al dominio español en los territorios de Nueva España. La guerra por la independencia mexicana se extendió desde el Grito de Dolores, el 16 de septiembre de 1810, hasta la entrada del Ejército Trigarante a la Ciudad de México, el 27 de septiembre de 1821.
El movimiento independentista mexicano tiene como marco la Ilustración y las revoluciones liberales de la última parte del siglo XVIII. Por esa época la élite ilustrada comenzaba a reflexionar acerca de las relaciones de España con sus colonias. Los cambios en la estructura social y política derivados de las reformas borbónicas, a los que se sumó una profunda crisis económica en Nueva España, también generaron un malestar entre algunos segmentos de la población.
La ocupación francesa de la metrópoli en 1808 desencadenó en Nueva España una crisis política que desembocó en el movimiento armado. En ese año, el rey Carlos IV y Fernando VII abdicaron sucesivamente en favor de Napoleón Bonaparte, que dejó la corona de España a su hermano José Bonaparte. Como respuesta, el ayuntamiento de México —con apoyo del virrey José de Iturrigaray— reclamó la soberanía en ausencia del rey legítimo; la reacción condujo a un golpe de Estado contra el virrey y llevó a la cárcel a los cabecillas del movimiento.
A pesar de la derrota de los criollos en la Ciudad de México en 1808, en otras ciudades de Nueva España se reunieron pequeños grupos de conjurados que pretendieron seguir los pasos del ayuntamiento de México. Tal fue el caso de la conjura de Valladolid, descubierta en 1809 y cuyos participantes fueron puestos en prisión. En 1810, los conspiradores de Querétaro estuvieron a punto de correr la misma suerte pero, al verse descubiertos, optaron por tomar las armas el 16 de septiembre en compañía de los habitantes indígenas y campesinos del pueblo de Dolores (Guanajuato), convocados por el cura Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla.
A partir de 1810, el movimiento independentista pasó por varias etapas, pues los sucesivos líderes fueron puestos en prisión o ejecutados por las fuerzas leales a España. Al principio se reivindicaba la soberanía de Fernando VII sobre España y sus colonias, pero los líderes asumieron después posturas más radicales, incluyendo cuestiones de orden social como la abolición de la esclavitud. José María Morelos y Pavón convocó a las provincias independentistas a conformar el Congreso de Anáhuac, que dotó al movimiento insurgente de un marco legal propio. Tras la derrota de Morelos, el movimiento se redujo a una guerra de guerrillas. Hacia 1820, sólo quedaban algunos núcleos rebeldes, sobre todo en la sierra Madre del Sur y en Veracruz.
La rehabilitación de la Constitución de Cádiz en 1820 alentó el cambio de postura de las élites novohispanas, que hasta ahí habían respaldado el dominio español. Al ver afectados sus intereses, los criollos monarquistas decidieron apoyar la independencia de Nueva España, para lo cual buscaron aliarse con la resistencia insurgente. Agustín de Iturbide dirigió el brazo militar de los conspiradores, y a principios de 1821 pudo encontrarse con Vicente Guerrero. Ambos proclamaron el Plan de Iguala, que convocó a la unión de todas las facciones insurgentes y contó con el apoyo de la aristocracia y el clero de Nueva España. Finalmente, la independencia de México se consumó el 27 de septiembre de 1821.
Tras esto, Nueva España se convirtió en el Imperio Mexicano, una efímera monarquía católica que dio paso a una república federal en 1823, entre conflictos internos y la separación de América Central.
Después de algunos intentos de reconquista, incluyendo la expedición de Isidro Barradas en 1829, España reconoció la independencia de México en 1836, tras el fallecimiento del monarca Fernando VII.

Tortilla Soup & 2 Flautas or Black Bean Soup & Salad Quesadillas
Soup is a generally warm food that is made by combining ingredients such as meat and vegetables with stock, juice, water, or another liquid. Hot soups are additionally characterized by boiling solid ingredients in liquids in a pot until the flavors are extracted, forming a broth. Traditionally, soups are classified into two main groups: clear soups and thick soups. The established French classifications of clear soups are bouillon and consomme. Thick soups are classified depending upon the type of thickening agent used: purees are vegetable soups thickened with starch; bisques are made from pureed shellfish or vegetables thickened with cream; cream soups may be thickened with bechamel sauce; and veloutes are thickened with eggs, butter, and cream. Other ingredients commonly used to thicken soups and broths include rice, lentils, flour, and grains; many popular soups also include carrots and potatoes.
Tortilla means “little torta” or “little cake” in Spanish; the Spanish word applies to several different foods eaten in various Spanish-speaking countries. The Spanish word is used in English for a more restricted range of foods, mainly a potato-based omelette originating in Spain, and for a flatbread made from corn or wheat originally made by Mesoamerican peoples.
A taco is a traditional Mexican dish composed of a corn or wheat tortilla folded or rolled around a filling. A taco can be made with a variety of fillings, including beef, chicken, seafood, vegetables and cheese, allowing for great versatility and variety. A taco is generally eaten without utensils and is often accompanied by garnishes such as salsa, avocado or guacamole, cilantro, tomatoes, minced meat, onions and lettuce.
The small, shiny black turtle bean is especially popular in Latin American cuisine, though it can also be found in Cajun and Creole cuisines of south Louisiana. It is often called simply the black bean (frijol negro, zaragoza, poroto negro, caraota o habichuela negra in Spanish, and feijão preto in Portuguese), although this can cause confusion with other black beans.
A quesadilla is a flour or corn tortilla filled with a savoury mixture containing cheese and other ingredients, then folded in half to form a half-moon shape. This dish originated in Mexico, and the name is derived from the Spanish word queso (cheese).

6 Hot Wings, 2 Chorizo Mushroom Quesadillas with Rice, Salad & Guacamole
Chorizo is a term encompassing several types of pork sausages originating from the Iberian Peninsula.
Chorizo can be a fresh sausage, in which case it must be cooked before eating. In Europe, it is more frequently a fermented, cured, smoked sausage, in which case it is usually sliced and eaten without cooking. Spanish chorizo and Portuguese chouriço get their distinctive smokiness and deep red color from dried smoked red peppers (pimentón/pimentão or colorau). Due to culinary tradition, and the expense of imported Spanish smoked paprika, Mexican chorizo (but not throughout Latin America) is usually made with chili peppers, which are used abundantly in Mexican cuisine. In Latin America, vinegar also tends to be used instead of the white wine usually used in Spain. Traditionally, chorizo is encased in natural casings made from intestines, a method used since the Roman times.

Guacamole, is an avocado-based sauce that originated with the Aztecs in Mexico. In addition to its use in modern Mexican cuisine it has also become part of American cuisine as a dip, condiment and salad ingredient.It is traditionally made by mashing ripe avocados with a molcajete (mortar and pestle) with sea salt. Some recipes call for tomato, onion, lime juice, chili, yogurt and/or additional seasonings.
