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. […]
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 […]
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.
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 […]
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!
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. […]
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 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 […]
Fried Honey Chicken on Brown Rice
Normally, we pride ourselves on our ability to focus on the positive. We’re two “glass half full” types. (most of the time) Why focus on the negative when there is so much good food to be eaten? Well, this meal was so ridiculously bad […]
Homemade BBQ-grilled Burger on Mini Ciabatta
Another visit to Alon’s… and we made another great find.
We were browsing with some interest at a rather nondescript vacuum-sealed package of ground beef.
Three-Cut Ground Beef of Hanger, Chuck, & Brisket
And, one of the […]
