Mexican Coffee at Tablerock Brewpub

Janae asked me to go shopping with her at Winco on Saturday and I said sure and we decided to stop at Tablerock for the Buffalo Bites (we agree that they are the best Boneless Buffalo Wings in Boise).  I ordered a Mexican Coffee just to see what they could do.  The waiter said sure,  but I could tell he didn't know what I was talking about.  He served in in the typical Bar Coffee glass but it was very pale and before even trying it I could tell he went really heavy on the Irish Cream.  After tasting it I was not impressed at all,  I could not taste any tequila at all and I had to ask how he made it.   Obviously he did not know that the person he was talking to was reviewing his drink since he replied by saying the worst thing I could hear "Yeah,  the bartender had to look it up too."  as though I didn't know either.  As the French would say I thought "Pfffft!!".  But after going back to check on it with the bartender he explained that they had put Irish Cream, Kahlua and Coffee in it,  which is how you make an Irish Coffee.  
My evaluation:  don't get a Mexican Coffee here again.  They probably do real good with a Rum and Coke though.
The Buffalo Bites were great though.

Mexican Coffee at Lock Stock and Barrel/Water and smoke at Cowgirls

On the day after Valentine's day Janae and I went to Lock Stock and Barrel with Todd and Maria and Drake and Eleesha.  We walked right in to a 6 person curved booth that was a tiny bit cramped in the corner but fit everyone very well as long as the oversized cupboard door menus were off the table. We ordered drinks; wine for the ladies, beer for Drake, a Jack and Coke for Todd and a McCall oatmeal stout for me, The beer was very heavy and chocolatey and took a while for me to get into it without food but the unpersonable waiter with the un memorable name took long enough that I had finished it before my cedar plank salmon showed up. (Salad bar and bacon wrapped scalloped devoured). In one of the waiters hurried passes I ordered a Mexican Coffee. He had no questions about what it was and gave me a curt "sure".  The drink came out quickly in a clear irish glass bar coffee mug, which appears to be the standard serving glass for warm coffee drinks from the bar.   The look was pretty much identical to the one I got from Jalepeno's however the flavor of the coffee was stronger with less alcohol and I could taste both tequila and Kailua in it.  It went down easy and quick, most likely because of the lack of alcohol but maybe also because the oatmeal stout was so strong.  Quick: good company, average drinks and mediocre service, if I ended up back at lock stock and barrel sometime. I would order a different drink.

Somehow we decided to go to cowgirls in Kuna for some dancing.  I ordered and drank a beer of some kind and finished Janae's corona, which was like water. Then I finished the night with a watered down rum and coke and some dancing to some pop song on a dance floor of less than beautiful women that would have even seemed out of place even at The Balcony.  I coughed out more smoke the next day than I drank alcohol at cowgirls. This was a last in a life time visit to cowgirls for me

Mexican Coffee - Jalepeno's

Janae and I took the kids to Jalapeno's   Sam drove and we both got margaritas (her's blended and mine on the rocks)  Eddy brought two blended and even though I told him I would drink it anyway so it did not go to waste he convinced me he would get me the rocks drink by saying he would have something to drink later himself.   Our drinks were gone before our fried jalapeno's showed up and well before dinner,  but once dinner showed up we asked about a Mexican Coffee.  Eddy said,  oh yes we have those,  we put a tiny bit of coffee and a bit of coffee tequila and some Kahlua in there,  we put whipped cream on top and a bit of cinnamon.

Well,   we were impressed,  not only had the waiter heard of it,  he knew all about it.  (The waiter was Mexican himself which may or may not have had anything to do with his knowledge on it since we have not done the research yet on the drink to know whether it is actually indigenous to Mexico)  We immediately ordered one and he brought it out and we enjoyed it quite a bit,  it had a much richer flavor it seemed like even a stinger Kalua flavor than On The Border.  Eddy checked on us later and we told him we have somehow gone on a quest for a good one and Jalepeno was on the top,   he told us about the Coffee flavored patron tequila and even brought out the bottle to show us,  I had never seen black tequila before.  It was kind of gross looking..... but it tasted so good.

We talked about tequila,   mexico,  English classes here in Boise   our trip to Spain and trouble in his home state of Ixtapa near Acapulco for about 15 minutes.  It was a wonderful dinner and a highly recommended Mexican Coffee.

Mexican Coffee - On the Border

Janae and I wnt to On The Border with Drake and Eleesha to enjoy some margaritas and mexican food.  Janae again had to remind me about the Mexican Coffee.  In my usual manner I grilled the waitress about it,  and she was only vaguely familiar with it,  she wanted to know if I knew how to make it,  but I told her I only want one if they have a way of making one,  I dont want them to make something I could make I want to see their specialty and try that.  She said okay and went off and another waitress / hostess that was sort of hovering / passing by a couple minutes later came by and asked "That Mexican Coffee is with Tequila and Kalua,  right?"  I said "yes,  but go ahead and make it the way you know it should be made".  I did not have a lot of confidence that it would be good and the waitress assured me it would not be on fire.
It came out and was certainly better than the one at Goodwood,  It seemed to have a stronger Tequila / Kalua flavor.  Also it had the benefit of following a strong Margarita, off the rocks (an invention of mine for the night where I asked for a margarita on the rocks,  with no ice,  which is basically like mixing Mrs Ts warm margarita mix with warm tequila,  not good,  but the drink was larger since it was not cut with ice,  so ANY drink was probably better).

Anyway,  On The Border,  you did okay but your questions and uncertainty on the Mexican Coffee help me understand that I have not found a great Mexican Coffee,  most certainly not the best.
