I’m sitting here with Ricky Alveraz, (RA) son of Oscar & Monica Alveraz, owners of THE BEST MEXICAN restaurant called, “TAQUERIA MI PUEBLO,” which means in English “My Little Town.” It is located on Martin Way, in Lacey about 1/4 the intersection of Marvin and Martin (Hawks Prairie)
I love this restaurant because everything is made from scratch!
RA “We make soups, enchiladas, quesadillas, pretty much any authentic Mexican food….and we also have seafood. Some of their meat selections are beef, chicken, tripe, beef tongue, quail, pork etc. (puerco, tripa, pollo, lengua, guilotas, y mas),” says Ricky.
RA: “My dad is a hard worker and lived and grew up on a farm. He has been working since he was a little kid and was taught by his dad (my Grampa) how to do many things with meats. He himself taught his self how to cook and do it all by himself by scratch. He is a hard worker and wont give up on a career that he has been dreaming of. He has not taken a break from work for over a year now and I tell him, ” Dad you have done lots of work you have to take a week or at least a couple days off cuz your killing your self.” He says “I know I do Son, but I cant do that just yet because I made a promise to keep this business going and running.” When people go to eat at Mi Pueblo and I see their first bite taken form their food its like no other face I have seen before.
One day I asked a customer about their food and he looks at me and say, “Who made this food ? ” I said “my dad sir. ” He says “tell him its the best food that I have ever had, every bite of this burrito is unexplainable.” I was speachless because the look on the mans face was like he was in another world. I personally do not know what to say or tell my dad about that mans face. Some people that go to Mi Pueblo, eat every little last morsel on their plate, not matter what it is.”
LMW: Ricky is there anything else you would like us to know about your restaurant?
Our Hours: 11am-9pm Everyday. We serve breakfast, lunch and dinner all day.

Thank you!!
I like to post about FATS!!
Lately I have noticed that a lot of my Facebook entries have to do with fat. Eating, consuming, internally or using externally, nutritious fats: Animals fats as well as coconut oil, red palm oil, essential fats like Omega 3′s found in 100% grassfed beef as well as WILD caught salmon. When I say animal fats, I am talking about fat from animals raised like my cattle do, ON GRASS. By the way, it is very luscious grass-GREEN GRASS-growing organically, the way nature intended. I find it interesting that my cows get to a nice fatness from eating only grass. They eat grass so I don’t have to. Apparently my cows have a nice fat layer on them, (some more than others) according to the butcher. :)
But don’t fret because it has fat. As you know if can make a delicious steak. It also holds a hamburger together. If you haven’t seen my Wilcox Angus Beef Facebook change, look for it by searching for Wilcox Angus Beef. ”Like” it; that would make my day. You may not live near me to get ‘My Local Beef,’ but you can still be a fan of all things natural, like my Angus Beef. Your support is appreciated.
Recently I graduated from school as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) so I have been incorporating more of my nutritional ideas into my Facebook and possibly even on this blog. Coming soon will be a blog about why you should be consuming more nutritious fats…
Happy September, Lisa Wilcox, NTP
This is a great addition to your pantry: seeds for sprouting. Delicious and nutrient packed. Try it!!
Here is a recipe for a chilled soup.
GAZPACHO SOUP
It reminds me of bloody mary with the ingredients. Use fresh organic veggies when ever possible for best flavor. Chopped canned tomatoes can be substituted.
6 ripe tomatoes (slit bottom, blanch in boiling water 2 min to remove skin)
one yellow or white onion- chopped and saute’d with the garlic
1 chopped garlic to taste about 1 teaspoon
1 garden fresh cucumber peeled and seeded, chopped.
salt, pepper, worcester sauce, hot sauce, lemon juice, parsley, celery to taste.
6 cups of tomato juice (I used Clamato juice)
Mix and refrigerate over night.
Serve with fresh onions, avacado and cooked shrimp!! Enjoy.
