As part of this very special Valentine's issue of the MSJ, our esteemed editorial staff came up with the idea for Chest to review a local "date" restaurant. Since he has always been a fan of supporting local commerce, Chest contacted Ann Arbor's Adorable Escorts & Massage for a date and headed to Tios on East Huron Street for the meal.
When we arrived at Tios, Chest realized his editors were angry with him. While other reporters headed to swank new locations such as Mélange, Chest had been sent to El Barrio. Tios resembles a rundown cafeteria decorated with hundreds of hot sauce bottles on the walls and a large sign stating: "No Public Restrooms Available". This is a rather scary proposition for a shady-looking Mexican restaurant, but we ventured in anyway.
My escort Krystale and I seated ourselves since there was no hostess. After five minutes of waiting, we realized you actually have to get up and order at the counter at Tios. How quaint and clearly only acceptable to poor people! Tios menu is large and expansive since it is painted on the wall near the counter.
The food at Tios was actually rather tasty. Chest ordered the taco dinner for himself and the grilled chicken fajita salad for Krystale, because the guy should always order his date's meal and girls should only eat salad. In a highly disappointing turn of events, Tios does not sell alcohol. Luckily, Chest had been sniffing ether in the parking lot so this buzz carried him through the meal and the conversation with a hooker.
Tios wait staff was non-existent so Krystale had to pick up our order and bus our table at the end of the meal. She was a bit peeved about this until Chest reminded her that he had negotiated for full service in their agreement. In conclusion, don't expect any serious action from a first date if you take her to Tios. Unless of course she is being paid for her companionship
Chest Rockwell is an MBA 2 and Humor Editor for The MSJ. He will not be able to attend class for the next two weeks while mourning the untimely death of Anna Nicole Smith.
