No Mas! Cantina

Camarones Alambres

If you’re starving, this more than fits the bill.

Grilled shrimp on sugar cane skewers and fried sweet plantains top a large square of sweet corn cake. We would have preferred significantly less sauce. It’s a bit too sweet coupled […]

Happy 4th!!

…And, nothing says Happy 4th! like a great big wiener

Happy 4th of July!

BLVD — Tortoni Ice Cream

Classic Tortoni BLVD Tasty Ice Cream

We must start by saying there weren’t all that many cherries, cookie crumbs or almonds in our pint of ice cream. As a matter of fact, the pieces of cherry that we could find were quite small. And, the […]

Rabbit On The Run — Rabbit Coffee Roasting Co.

Rabbit On The Run (Rabbit Coffee Roasting Co. Cold Brew Concentrated Coffee)

We wouldn’t say this coffee will be a favorite of ours. But, we do love the bottle. If you’re in a pinch (maybe you’re at the office with no time to brew a fresh pot of […]

Pure Taqueria

Crab Fritters

Period.

Alon’s

Grainy Mustard Fingerling Potato Salad

Someone made a meal out of it.

Lamb On Rosemary Focaccia

As always, the flavor of rosemary works beautifully with lamb. But, these olive oil rich loaves make for a nap-inducing lunch… not great for a […]

Las Costas Nayaritas

Coctel De Camaron Y Pulpo

Plump, tender shrimp hide beneath the sweet sauce.

Huachinango Frito

Even with such a deep golden brown, it’s still moist and tender inside.

Sometimes, this […]

Primizie Gouda & Late July Habanero Bacon Chips

Primizie Smoked Dutch Gouda & Garlic CrispBread Chips

The flavors were “fine”. But, these crispbreads/chips have a hard, crisp crunch with an unpleasant denseness to that “thick-cut” chip. What do they mean by crisp breads? These are not pita chips as we were expecting. Instead, […]
