This is a great opportunity to support both schools and local businesses at the same time.<br \/>\nThis December we decided to go to <b>Mama Lupe&#8217;s Cocina Mexican Restaurant<\/b> in Washington Manor simply because I hadn&#8217;t been there before.  Unfortunately the experience was less than stellar, and I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;ll be going back coupon or no coupon.<br \/>\nI should say at first, that my personal experience wasn&#8217;t too bad.  I liked the chips and salsa and my chimichanga (basically a fried burrito) came with a wonderful green sauce, nicely citrusy and a bit piquant.  The sauce almost made up for the fact that the chimichanga was 95% rice and only 5% beef.  I could not believe how stingy they were with the meat, they might as well not include it at all.<br \/>\nMike was not thrilled with his flautas, which he thought merely ordinary &#8211; but our friend Blaine was quite unhappy with his salad with grilled chicken.  Alas, I don&#8217;t remember why.<br \/>\nMika, my 7yo, really liked the rice and Camila, my 5yo, was OK with her quesadilla.  They both really liked the Mexican hot chocolate, and I should buy some to make at home.<br \/>\nOn the plus side, dinner was very cheap, less than $50 for 3 adults and 3 kids.  Still, it wasn&#8217;t cheap enough to justify the mediocre food.<br \/>\nMama Lupe&#8217;s Cocina Mexican Restaurant<br \/>\n15033 Farnsworth St<br \/>\nSan Leandro, CA<br \/>\n(510) 483-4545<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.marga.org\/food\/rest\/sl.html\">San Leandro Restaurant Reviews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The San Leandro Education Foundation, an organization that fundraises to support local school, has a new program called Eat Out for Education.
