Day 364 of 1000
Our favorite Mexican restaurant here in the Raleigh area is a place called Tacos Mexico in Fuquay-Varina. It would be just a run of the mill Mexican food place if it were not for the fact that they serve their food with hand made corn tortillas, they have a friendly, efficient wait staff, and they have very interesting signs announcing job opportunities by the front door. The first time we noticed the signs was when they were advertising for a “chipera“. I saw and asked Lorena what was a “chipera“? She said she had no idea and she is a native Spanish speaker, so that was a little weird. Kelly did not know either. We stood there for after about a minutes scratching our heads. I was about to stick my head in the door and ask because we were pretty curious. Then Christian started laughing.
He said, “I know what it means!”
We all said, “What?!??”
He said, “The person that passes out the chips!”
We thought that was probably one of the best pochisms we had ever heard.
Today, we noticed that they are looking for una mesera de buena presentación. We think that means they want to hire a good looking waitress. Maybe Jon can explain it to us.
Yes, I’m afraid that’s exactly what it means. :-/ Glad we can present ourselves in a better, truly presentable way than that before God and man.
