Chicken Taco and Chips at Metzy's Cantina of Newburyport MA

There is a small Mexican style restaurant at the Newburyport MA trains station called Metzy's Cantina. The train goes no farther north than Newburyport. It is also located near the trails in Newburyport that 'roam' throughout the town. There is not only indoor seating but also outdoor seating. Inside is nice but outdoors is better on a really good day (unless it is too hot or too cold or the weather isn't that which one would enjoy sitting outside).

The place sat unused for a very long time before Metzy's took over and really made it nice. It was not an easy job since problems popped up every so often. I am glad they over came those problems.

This is the chicken taco - soft shell. I am not even sure if they have the crunchy or hard taco's. It looks big in the photo but it is lunch size. Lunch size is something one would want for lunch since it would fill you up or make you feel too full which causes drowsiness the rest of the day. It was flavored quite well. I like that it wasn't just meat but also had greens. It made it healthier and guilt free. 

I knew I would be walking home - the place was farther than I realized when I set out to walk but I wasn't really aiming to get to Metzy's but just walk a long time enjoying the day and the scenery. There was a lot of chips. I could not finish them all. The salsa dip had a really nice bite to it. It went well with the chips. The chips had a nice crunch. Some places the chips seem to be around a little too long and taste stale. 

I had a diet Coke. I had two of them. It was quire refreshing. I had walked a long distance getting there and will be walking a long distance getting back.  I liked the ice they put in it. It made the Diet Coke even more refreshing.

There was also a bucket on the table with napkins / knife / fork. In the far corner there are boxes to carry leftovers home 

They come in the small glass bottles. I guess that would make some happy since they complain about the plastic bottles. I like plastic bottles since they are lighter weight than glass; which means less energy to transport them. Plastic bottles can also be recycled to make many things (like the B2P - bottle to pens). 

This was on the outside of the restaurant. I think it is neat. I think it would be cool to have one to take to events and sell hot foods from. They also have a food truck that they take to events. They have the same kind of food as the restaurant (they say it is a cantina).

They used have their truck at the Plum Island Airport but I am not sure they do but it would be great to check it out. It is on the way to Plum Island. I believe there is only one road that leads to the island.  

Plum Island Airport is a small airport for small planes. The have a single strip. There are a few planes there. They have a small museum there. They not only have small planes but - on occasion - they have RC (radio controlled) planes. There isn't usually a lot of activity there but it is still a nice place to visit every so often.
