Estrella Negra

I had to write another post on this place!
I have now been to Estrella Negra 8 times. I went several times when I was pregnant, I took my mother there when she visited from Texas, went back with my boyfriend Brian and our Daughter Fiona when she was a newborn and my friend Sam and I just went last week with Fiona in tow.
The food as always was awesome. I get these black bean, goat cheese tostadas as an appetizer every time and I swear they are one of the best things ever and are just so simple and perfect.
I love the decor personally. It's day of the dead theme, cool painted tables, skulls and skeletons everywhere and a tattoo flash wall vibe that I love. Small seating space which to me makes it even better.
The staff is awesome also, so sweet to Fiona and just genuinely nice to us.
I give Estrella Negra a million stars ;) and I urge all you local chicagoans to make a trip to Western and Fullerton and visit Estrella Negra, they're a hidden gem making delicious food!!!

Food. Baby. Sleep.

I feel like saying "enough said" could basically cover this, but I feel obliged to go on. :)
It's been so long since I've spewed some thoughts on here I'm not sure where to start. I'm still at L2o, that place alone gives me a lot to talk about and some pretty amazing stories already. Fiona is 7 months old now, has two teeth, eats like a crazy person, smiles all the time, basically the queen of the house!
I'm torn.
I'm excelling and growing in a restaurant that I'm damn proud to work at. The hours though, are insane... Especially when you have a beautiful, sweet, perfect baby at home that I never want to miss a single moment of.
So, same dilemma...
How much do I sacrifice my family time just to take care of my family?
Can't complain though, life is happening, and either way, I'm a part of it!
