places to go…

Taco Bravo
S. Bascom and Campbell Av., Campbell, CA
This place gets 3 stars if only because of the lack of competition at 2am… Wait. Maybe it should get 4…okay 4. I mean it’s haute cuisine out here at that point.
Onto the review. First and foremost, sobriety here is not recommended. It’s the type of place you […]

Lucha Libre
1810 W. Washington Street, Mission Hills
I’ve had my eye on this place for a long time, just wondering what was behind those doors. Inside it’s (shocker) Mexican wrestling themed, complete with movies on the flat screen.
The food is fantastic and cheap. Like Saffron, it gets a “best in its class” type award. It’s super […]

FriendHouse

Cibar
56 Irving Pl., NYC
Okay, so we were meeting peeps at FriendHouse, but were early, and sadly, they have no bar seating, so we go next door to (omg, it’s just like home!) Cosmic Cantina and have the strongest sangria in all of NYC for only $5.50 a pop, […]

10-93 Jackson Ave, LIC
Another wi-fi gem, with good eats, primarily mexi-fare with wondrous margaritas… still with a mix (hate that stuff), but there’s enough tequila in there you just won’t care. My personal menu favorite is the Baja Quesadilla. NY goat cheddar and jalepenos, with shrimp. Plus, it’s RIGHT across the street from the 7 […]
