Sesame

2 for $1

For $1, two of these Vietnamese baguettes are an unbelievable bargain. With tapered ends and a seriously good crispy, flaky crust, we preferred these over the standard bánh mì baguette.

Kranky

Kranky

Chocolate covered corn flakes, these were not bad… in that convenience store candy sorta way.

Obleas

Rice paper wafers filled with a thin layer of cajeta (goat milk caramel)… but, the cajeta had an unpleasant gritty texture. They’re edible, but, […]

Co’m Vietnamese Grill

3 G Salad

Green papaya, green mango and green apples sliced in a fine julienne topped with shreds of grilled lamb and fried shallots. This salad is a lovely combination of bright green flavors with just the right touches of sweet and sour to accent the freshness of the fruit. […]

Farmstead 303

Fried Chicken Liver Bruschetta

We both loved this dish. That is really saying something when one of us is on the fence about their relationship with chicken livers, in general. The cornmeal shell was crisp and golden. Yet, each chicken liver had just a hint of pink. This is a […]

Madras Saravana Bhavan

Mixed Vegetable Parotta

Thinly sliced parotta with a mixture of thinly sliced cabbage, peppers, onions and other vegetables are tossed in a mildly spiced red sauce. No cilantro leaves garnishing the dish this time… I missed the freshness of a cilantro leaf here and there lightening up the dish.

Mojitos Cuban Bistro

Fried Yuca Cups with 3 fillings

In order of preference… No. 1 avocado, No. 2 picadillo, and a distant 3rd place goes to the shrimp creole. Next time, we’ll get the avocado filling for all three.

Ending up here, somehow. An unusual discovery was made. Quite fitting, given […]

Purple Chip Mix

Mixed Root Chips

We really enjoyed these. Sliced paper thin, they were crunchy… yet delicate. And, the sweet potato chips had that sweet and salty thing going on… why aren’t sweet potato chips more popular?

Yucatekas

Mild spice & vinegar flavored […]

Tortas Gigantes

Tortas Gigantes!

We both loved this place before taking a single bite. Love the name… the staff is friendly… and they make GIANT tortas! What more do you want?

La King

Or, as we like to call it… everything but the kitchen sink. […]

Taqueria Los Hermanos

Burrito Acapulquenos

Loaded with flaky fish, nearly melt-in-your-mouth tender calamari, and grilled shrimp… this burrito with creamy poblano sauce is stuffed with fish (and, covered in even more fish) was a real winner. Even though we’ve eaten this before, it was better than we remembered it to be.

Sweet Potato Fry Sundae

Sweet Potato Fries, Vanilla Ice Cream & Caramel Sauce

(AKA Sweet Vanilla Haystack)

Did you ever dip french fries in a vanilla milkshake in high school? This is better. The sweet potato fries were perfectly crisp and drizzled with caramel sauce. We both simultaneously commented that we would […]
