Los Cuatro Amigos Chimichanga
A chimichanga is a burrito prepared with a choice of meat, deep-fried to a golden perfection, and served on a bed or lettuce with cheese and mild sauce. And Los Cuatro Amigos in Bay City knows how to make a fantastic chimichanga!
This day I stopped into Los Cuatro for lunch. We were seated quickly and given the usual basket of corn chips and salsa. The salsa has a great flavor and is not really hot but it’s not mild either. The chimichanga is my favorite dish at Los Cuatro and can be ordered with either beef or chicken. I chose the chicken. Although the chimichanga doesn’t look big on the plate it is loaded with shreaded chicken and topped with a luscious creamy cheese sauce and is very filling. The seasoning has just enough bite to leave a pleasant bit of heat on your palate.
The chimichanga lunch is served with refried beans and rice. On the side is a generous amount of sour cream, fresh pico de gallo and guacamole. For $7.99 it’s a mid priced lunch but sure to please.

Coney Dog at Guido’s
I had a co-worker take me out to lunch today. He used to get coney dogs from Guido’s in Bay City and bring them in for everyone at work, but today we decided to go there. Guido’s is a very busy little restaurant on Lafayette Ave just east of the river. There is a limited amount of seating with booths on the streat side and a few tables on the other side of the restaurant.
The coney lunch included two dogs and fries for $3.75 with a Pepsi this is a great lunch for under $5. The service at Guido’s is pleasant and fast. The dogs were quality Koegel viennas. The coney sauce was thick and didn’t drip or make the bun soggy.
