While in Nashville visiting some friends I went to dinner at the Solairo Mexican restaurant in the Gaylord Opryland Hotel.
The homemade guacamole was AMAZING!!! The fajitas I ate for
dinner were delicious as well and came as a very generous serving. Our waiter provided excellent service
throughout the night including warning us about the “angry peppers” that were
on our plates. He said they were really spicy. Well initially only two people in our group
tried them. One person made faces, the
other started crying uncontrollably and tried eating and drinking different
things to make the burn go away.
Well one of my friends convinced me to try it with her. All I needed was to take one bite. The pepper wasn’t too bad initially and then
all of a sudden I felt a delayed burn actually it was more like pain on my
tongue. I tried eating more tortilla
chips, drinking coke, and some water. I
even tried chewing gum. After almost
crying and feeling like my mouth was on fire my tongue felt back to normal
maybe an hour later. But I did it... and
survived to tell about it!
The lobbies of the hotel are beautiful. Filled with flowers, trees, waterfalls,
walking paths and benches it was fun to just walk around, take pictures, and
enjoy it. The hotel has several other
restaurants in their lobbies so next time I’m in town I might just have to try
out another.
