This is my first food establishment review.
Moab has two new food trucks this season – one that sells quesadillas (grilled tortillas with cheese and other ingredients in between), and one with hot dogs. This review is about the former.
Quesadilla Mobilla.
It’s parked outside the Canyonlands Trading Post on Main Street.
Ahhhhh…the menu.
I chose the Fiery Fungus. Here’s what I got – The package, the quesadilla, homemade chipotle-lime sour cream, and fresh-roasted green chile salsa.
The quesadilla was amazing. There were lots of beef, mushrooms, and fresh jalapeños inside. The sour cream was great, and the green salsa was SUPERB!
I am utterly impressed by the Quesadilla Mobilla. I need another one. Right away. Next for review: Dogz & Thingz. Haven’t tried it yet, but it looks promising, and I am a big fan of food trucks!
Thanks for commenting, and happy Sunday, y’all!
Day two, we got up at a reasonable hour, had a little breakfast, and were off to Desert Botanical Garden for a lovely bird, desert plant and cactus experience. DBG is a really large, well-laid-out botanical garden. It’s a beautiful place.
I was happy to see that the Chihuly stuff at the entrance is still there. It looks perfect. Here is a nice cactus-scape, and a picture of two tourists.
It’s pretty hard to take a bad photo here. However, somehow I managed. The blur in the third photo is an Anna’s Hummingbird.
We ate lunch at the garden cafe, and while we were eating, there was quite a show on the trashcan. All kinds of birds were checking out the trash and the trays on top. First, a Curve-Billed Thrasher and a Gambel’s Quail. Second, a European Starling and a Curve-Billed Thrasher. Third, a Cactus Wren.
Also making an appearance was a curious Greater Roadrunner. He didn’t stay long, but I did get ONE good photo of him.
Here’s a Curve-Billed Thrasher who is protecting his prized cactus fruit with his life, and a Verdin, clinging to some Ocotillo (Fouquieria splendens) flowers.
Some more lovely flowers (the first one is a fancy lavender, the second is a scorpion-weed).
After the gardens, we went to the Phoenix Zoo. So many great animals! Below are some Watusi Cows, a strange and colorful stork, and some cute African River Otters:
Sleeping warthogs (awwww…), an Egyptian Goose (why does he remind me of a little old balding man?!), and a pelican whose reflection I liked:
A Black Vulture who looked like he was whistling, and Mr. and Mrs. Northern Shoveler:
…and a Ring-Necked Duck (new to my bird list, and not in captivity):
Last but not least, we have some photos from the ‘On A Stick’ department.
Where do the sticks GO when it lays down?!
After the zoo, we went back to the motel room, and sat for a while. Ahhhh. For dinner, we went to Cafe Istanbul, which is a favorite. It was great. That was pretty much the end of our day.
