Questions and Answers

Has anyone ever seen a Mexican wear a sombrero or poncho in real life? Besides Mexican themed restaurants, and Mexican themed parties. Has anyone really ever seen a Mexican wear a sombrero or poncho in everyday situations like Hollywood makes it look that they do?

Ranjer49 replied: "Fewer than there were, but some are still around. Go to the company website, or the old faithful Yellow Pages. Or dial info. There's an El Fenix ( correct spelling ) still in business near downtown Dallas, but can't remember address."

allen3_99 replied: "Yes, but there are fewer around. Probably because there are much better tacquerias and tamale places to visit; not to mention all the great Southwestern cuisine."

hiltonhead replied: "Yes Ponchos is still here, the food isn't so great anymore. Yes El Fenix is still here also."

vclutter replied: "There is a good one in Irving right behind the Irving Mall."

Poncho's for guys: in style? My parents recently got back from Mexico and bought me a really cool poncho. It looks a bit like the one Clint Eastwood wears in The Good the Bad and the Ugly and I love wearing it, feels warm and looks pretty cool. If I started wearing it outside of the house, is that a bit too much? By outside I mean when hanging with friends, going out, restaurants, mall etc. Are poncho's for guys in style or will I stick out a bit too much? Are people going to think of me as, "Hey, thats pretty sweet, he's wearing a poncho." or "wth, why is he wearing a poncho?" I'm 18 if it matters. Opinions? It's black, white and gray, so multicolour ugliness is absent. It can go with most of the other clothes I wear.

A good name for a Mexican (Spanish) Restaurant? Like "El Sombrero Picante"? Spanish commercial project? I'm doing a commercial for my middle school Spanish project, what's a good name for a Mexican/Spanish restaurant? It can't be too complicated, something like El Sombrero Picante (my friend took that one)...My friend suggested Gordo Poncho but that didn't really make sense so...

What is the name of the CBS morning cartoon show that was shown around 1993 and was about Mexican insects? I think it was shown in 1993/1994 and was centered around a restaurant run by a married couple. It also focused on two bugs who were most likely flies, they wore ponchos and sombreros. All the characters spoke with a Mexican accents, and the setting was dry and desert-like. Anyone knows what I'm talking about and the name of this show? Thanks

Warning getting towed after parking.? I was towed the other day after I went to eat at poncho villa on Nicollet ave(minneapolis minnesota)well I parked in caravelle restaurants parking lot( who is shared with poncho villa) it cost me $250.00 to get my car back but i sat arround and watched how they were towing people well this jerk in a white ford taurus with p.p.g.s plates was standing across the street from caravelle watching the cars park, even the sign says after 4:00 pm you can park for poncho villa was still towed. so this is a WARNING to all who live in minnesota and eat lunch or dinner on nicollet ave be wear of a WHITE TAURUS WITH THE PLATES P.P.G.S he will tow you ( by the way he is afro american, which makes no dif to me cuz i'm not racist ok) and he works at anderson school across the street from the hospital off lake street from 7am till 5pm so don't park at the school if you are going to the hospital cuz he dose sits 1 block north of the school where the 2 parking lots for the employees and other hospital staff of the hospital can park and he uses his binaculars to watch the school lot I thought i would warn all of you good people out there. have a good day and please read the signs where you park you never know who is watching you park.

cory m replied: "If the sign says you can park there after 4 and it was after 4 you can fight it. On your tow sheet it should have a time when it was towed and can take a picture of where you were parked and the pic of the sign and you can win that in small claims court. Asside from that, i hate people that cant stay out of their business just to piss people off. There is this old lady in my moms neighborhood and calls the cops for everything. There was 5 cars at our house one day(1 mine, 2 my parents, 1 my brothers, and my friends) and she called the cops saying there was an underage party going on... People like that need to be shot, lol."

Rainy day at Disneyland? So my friend and i are going to Disneyland this Sunday march 22nd and apparently its supposed to be raining like no other that day. i heard that its actually a good thing, because there's no lines and not many people. so what should i expect when i go there? what rides are closed? will the water rides like splash mountain, and finding nemo and matterhorn still be open? i would manly like to know about the big attractions. what should i wear and take? ---is it better to take a side bag or backpack? ---is it better to take a poncho or umbrella? ALSO! I've been trying to get a reservation at the blue bayou. because we're going on my friends birthday so i wanna surprise her, by going to the restaurant that you can sit down in at the pirates ride. but I've heard that we're supposed to make reservations like a few weeks before the day we go. so i haven't made any reservations or anything, so since its supposed to rain like crazy on Sunday do you think that i can just go there and ask if we can sit inside the restaurant?

dEiRbhiLe BaBii =} replied: "no amount of rain is gonna stop people from goin to disneyland(its not stopping you). they usually just keep all the rides open unless there is lightning. i think you might have left it too late for the restaurant soz. bring a backpack and you can buy a big yellow mickey mouse poncho there(stylish). VOTE ME AS BEST ANSWER PLZPLZPZXXX"

BeHappy replied: "Wow! I'm going to California Adventures on the same day you're going to Disneyland! This Sunday! weird... Anyway, People still go there on rainy days, it still will be crowded but not THAT crowded. Most rides during the day are open. Most likely Matterhorn will be open, but I don't know about the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage and Splash Mountain. Bring a backpack and poncho. You won't want to carry that umbrella all day. About the Blue Bayou, you probably will get in, but will get LATE reservations. And when I say LATE, I mean around closing time. Call this number for reservations: (714) 781-DINE, or (714) 781-3463. Call right at this very moment! (Also you might be paying around $30 for one entree) Must see's and must ride's: -Peter Pan's Flight -Dumbo the Flying Elephant -Teacups -Big Thunder Mountain Railroad -"it's a small world" (They remodeled it!) -Matterhorn Bobsleds -Indiana Jones! -Jungle Cruise -Tiki Room -Buzz Lightyear astro blasters -Splash Mountain -Space Mountain -Finding nemo ride -Haunted Mansion -Go to Innoventions! It's a house made for the future! It's so awesome! I wish I could've stayed there ALL day! Definitely watch Fantasmic! It's a water show! I would reccomend getting there an hour and a half early if you want pretty good seats. Order food then sit at one of the tables. Pack a whole bunch of water, food, and snacks! You're gonna get hungry! Have fun at the Happiest Place On Earth!"

Precious replied: "Take the backpack and poncho. The rain will keep some people away but not all. My advice for hte Blue Bayou is to go there as soon as you get to the park and tell them you would like to eat there at some time during the day. If they have any cancellations already noted, they can put you in. Otherwise, you might just have to come back every so often and ask if you can get it. By the way, the food is really expensive and not that great. I personally would just go for dessert. Have fun!"

batraylover replied: "First of all, what you heard about rain at Disneyland and short lines is false. Disneyland is crowded, even when it's raining, and especially during this time of year Spring Break, and especially on a Sunday, when Disneyland is always crowded. The rain is not enough to close the rides, unless it's a really large down pour which doesn't happen a lot. What would be more likely to close the rides is high winds (which often accompany rain in Southern California), thunder, and lightning, which also accompany rain in Southern California. You should take a mini backpack if possible, it's small enough that you can wear it on all of the rides without having to take it off. If you take a full size backpack, don't pack it full, or you will have to take it off and secure it on rides. You don't want to take a purse, because it's easy to forget you have it and leave it someplace. Don't take an umbrella, if you are that worried about the rain, take a poncho, but generally weather predictions in Southern California are false anyway (we call weatherman the highest paid liars next to government officials, insurance companies, and the health care industry in the world). The best way to find out if there is places available at the Blue Bayou is to make a phone call to them directly. Speak with someone in charge of reservations. Usually Blue Bayou is booked far in advance, but it's possible that someone cancelled and they have an opening, notice I said possible, not likely. Don't forget, if you register online your friend will get in free on her birthday. Not making reservations is a BAD idea, they are a must everywhere at Disneyland that accepts them. The rain won't keep people away from Disneyland, the chances of it raining like crazy if you put it, are pretty slim. By the way in Southern California when they say rain like crazy, we usually get under .5" of rain, lol."
