My husband and I love to try new foods. Every time we get a date night we go out and enjoy the cuisine of local restaurants. Whether it’s Japanese sushi, Neapolitan pizza, Mongolian, or Mexican, we love it all! Last weekend we hit two of our favorite spots, a Mongolian restaurant and a Mexican restaurant. It was great to spend some time together and enjoy delicious food!
I’ve recently fell in love with our local Mongolian restaurant. I absolutely adore their spicy stir fry and I’m excited to try my hand at making my own Mongolian flavored dishes at home. Another restaurant we frequent is a local Mexican chain called Mi Pueblo. It’s a great place to go with the kids because their food is great and their service is fast but it’s lovely ambiance also makes it a great date night spot.
Last Sunday Mike and I had dinner at Mi Pueblo and had a great time!
This is me excited about our date! They’re pretty infrequent in this stage of life so they’re always special.
I ordered the Nacho Special (Mike always teases me that it’s not special after I remove the beans, sour cream and tomatoes ha!) and Mike ordered a spicy taco, beans and rice. Before our meal came we enjoyed their amazing salsa. The salsa is a little different every time we come but it’s always good!
One unsavory side effect of spicy foods is heartburn. Thankfully, I don’t suffer from it but it affects my husband frequently. I’ve only had heartburn once and it was miserable, I can’t imagine dealing with that on a regular basis.
My husband handles it great though and instead of allowing his stomach dictate what he orders he chooses to take PEPCID COMPLETE™ with him when he knows he’s going to eat something spicy. It works within seconds to neutralize the stomach acid that causes heartburn and the relief lasts.
See, he’s all smiles! 🙂

Oh date night—-how fun!!! So glad your hubby has found something to help and allow him to eat Mexican! I’m not sure what I would do if I couldn’t eat Mexican—it’s my fave! 🙂
It’s definitely a favorite here too! We can’t live without spicy foods.
I’ve never had to Pepcid Complete but my husband takes it with him wherever we go. It works wonders.
I love Mexican food, but I also get wicked heartburn from it. I always bring antacid with me.
I love Pepcid! I keep a bottle on my nightstand because I sometimes suffer from acid reflux in the middle of the night if I ate a little too late that evening! 🙂
It’s the worst when it keeps you up! Glad you’ve found relief.
This is funny to me because at my age I know ned this more often that not. Because I am not willing to give up fun foods that may cause issues!
The only time I’m suffering with heartburn is when I’m pregnant! So glad those days are done! I practically slept with antacids!
This looks like a great product, and what a fun date night! We have not had one of those in a long while.
My daughter uses Pepcid. She deals with stomach issues when she eats spicy food or too much food.
I love date night – looks like you two had a blast! Nothing can ruin date night quicker than heartburn though!
Oh what fun, date night! My fave nights. My hubby suffers from severe heartburn often, and I just started up again so this would for sure have to be by both our sides!
I’m going to have to share this with my husband! He suffers from serious acid reflux whenever he eats anything spicy or tomato based – and spaghetti is his favorite meal!
I get horrible heartburn after eating Lebanese food! The meat and onion combo make me sick!
Sounds like you guys had a lovely date night out! It’s good you had pepcid on hand
The things we do to enjoy a yummy meal, I have not heard of Pepcid before … and I get real bad heartburn with some of my favorite foods, maybe I will give this product a try to see how it goes. No more date night mishaps, I can eat and enjoy it long after!
These definitely take a lot of the stress away from eating out. No one should have to worry about their heartburn on date!
I always have pepcid handy! Works wonders when my acid reflux decided to act up.
I am so jealous that you got a date night! I rarely have heartburn, but I have friends that will swear by Pepcid. Looks like you had great time!
I have used this product before. It definitely works and works fast too!
Acid reflux is one thing I definitely don’t miss about being pregnant! Mexican food doesn’t really bother me, but a baby? Reflux every time.
I love spicy food but my tummy does not. I always have Pepcid Complete on hand just in case i need it.
Oh I love mexican and that food looks so yummy! I would definitely need some Pepcid too! 🙂
After my last baby I had to have pepcid after almost every meal, because heartburn was so bad! No matter what I ate! Man that stuff is awesome!
Ha, h,a, ha… That sounds like our date nights. Hubby cant go anywhere without his Pepcid. Ha!
I only had heartburn during my pregnancies. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy!! I’m so glad Pepcid is an option for those that suffer.
Looks like a great meal. I’d need something for heartburn afterwards, too!
Oh this makes me miss living in Winston Salem. We visited that same restaurant before. Pepcid is a life saver for when you are having food that cause reflux.
I have never been to Winston Salem! It sounds like fun.
Remember those days when you could eat whatever you wanted & didn’t gain weight or feel at all affected? Those days are long gone! It’s good to have Pepcid on hand so I don’t miss out on my favs.
Haha, I totally take Pepcid every time I eat out. That salsa is making me hungry.
I’m so glad I don’t suffer from heartburn. Friends I know who do swear by the quick relief from Pepcid Complete. What a treat to enjoy the different restaurants. Mexican food is always so yummy.
I keep Pepcid in my purse because I can get a sensitive stomach from spicy food. Works like a charm every time!
I’m glad you found a solution! No one should be without Mexican food (or whatever food they love). Sounds like Pepcid saved the day in this case.
Wonderful way to get to enjoy your food without suffering for it later 🙂 We love Mexican food too!
I actually used to live near Winston-Salem and Mi Pueblo was my fave Mexican Restaurant! All those tasty spicy foods can definitely cause heartburn, though. I’ll have to give Pepcid a try.
Heartburn when you’re having a much needed date night is a bummer! Glad you BOTH were able to have a wonderful time
After a night of eating good food you definitely something to help with heart burn. Heart burn can ruin a great date night.
I’m a pretty faithful Pepcid user myself. Heartburn is dreadful!
But I have to add I love spicy food and this was during the time I was preggo with my middle kid
I’m sure this comes in handy. I’ve had to watch what I was eating when I was out because of it.
So thankful that I don’t get heartburn. I only had it when I was pregnant. I’m sure this comes in handy!
