What is "El Chico" night you ask?

El Chico night was founded when I was in the 6th grade and is continuing on into its 7th year (if my math is right). Originally my immediate family and g-pa would go to El Chico's on wednesday nights to enjoy their awesome enchilada special. Little did we know that we would continue on this tradition EVERY single week. Eventually we added my aunt and uncle from Arlington and my g-pa's wife Norma. So for many years we continued to go to El Chico each and every wednesday night for a mini family reunion. This was a huge change since we only used to see each other on the holidays and occasionally other times throughout the year. Last year however, this tradition changed. We decided that due to church and other activities the dinner would sit better on tuesday nights. It took a while to get used to, but we're OK now. Along with the change of date came along the change of venue. Now, every week someone different gets to pick wherever we go to eat (other places include Chipotle, Spring Creek BBQ, Pei Wei, Ole Whiskers, Applebee's and many more). Never the less, it is still known as "El Chico Night" no matter where we eat.
