Can only mean you're coming. We'll be waiting for you.

When I was a kid we went to "Alley 19" restaurant in Mexicali for Chinese food. I don't remember whether I liked the food, but I do recall my mouth on
fire from a pepper! That must have been in the early 60s. Alley 19 opened in 1928 and closed in 2001.
Scroll down to the section "Mexicali, a historic Chinese outpost" on this link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinatowns_in_Latin_America
Wow, you have many choices! "Currently there are more than 80 Chinese restaurants from small coffee shops (cafés de chinos) to huge 750 occupancy
dining rooms."

Quite a few years ago we ended up at a Chinese restaurant in Mexicali because it seemed like a good bet for the vegetarian with us.
Ordering a vegetarian meal might have gone smoother had they spoken English....or Spanish... and we didn't speak Chinese.
Mom always told me to be different - Now she says...Not THAT different
