Taqueria Cuernavaca

Tacos al pastor. Tacos al pastor. Tacos al pastor.

Westin of Spare Parts, and Al from Events Untitled (Red Star?) paired up at the Creek Side to roast a whole pig. Check out the cool old grill of Creek Side’s, which they rolled out into the parking lot for the roast. There were plenty of hungry diners inside the bar, who were having a [...]

Ahi restaurant

It starts out small enough, when one friend reaches out to suggest dinner and I commit to it. Then another friend emails about dinner at the same time, so I suggest combining into a group. And suddenly the group becomes five, all settling down comfortably in the restaurant on a Friday evening, with rainclouds looming [...]

TAP Thai

It had been a year since I’ve dined at TAP, time sure does fly. My friend and I were hungry, but not famished, we just wanted something simple, and ordered one dish each. My friend had a beer and the penang chicken curry, with rice. There was enough leftover she got an additional side of [...]

But there are some highlights of 2011. First meal back at Full of Life: avocado pot de crème with [...]

Cielito Restaurant and Taqueria

Props to an acquaintance, Jonathan, who had given me some details about Cielito that got me excited to eat here. He spoke of high quality, well-sourced fresh ingredients. That, I can get behind. My friend Eric was in town for the holidays, we were in the mood to splurge, so we came here a week [...]

La Tour @ The Pub

It was a mellow night, and I met with a friend for a catch-up chat. He’d not yet been to La Tour, so I insisted. He tried a flight of wine under Graham’s recommendations, and I had my usual splashes of whatever was good. Some European stuff. But what I *really* wanted was a charcuterie [...]
