Las Fuentes

I love Mexican food, but I’ve been rather wary of it ever since I got severe food poisoning at Poquito Mas a couple years ago. Don’t get me wrong now. I’ve had Mexican food - good Mexican food - several times since then, but I still approach new Mexican restaurants or ones I [...]

MILK open house

Wednesday, May 21, 2008 13:27 6 Comments

In a rather savvy cross-promotion (actually, a no-brainer, when you think about it…) the delightful ice-cream parlor and café on Beverly, Milk, teamed up with the Got Milk? people (namely, the Cali Milk Processor Board) to host an open house last night.
I spotted a handful of fellow bloggers, including the gorgeous Kristy of [...]

Salsa Y Beer - So-so name DELICIOUS food!

Before I tell you about Salsa Y Beer, a small Mexican eatery near Encino, you have to ask yourself one question. What are you looking for when it comes to a Mexican restaurant?
Are you looking for a decent if uninspiring 3 item combo that you can get at one of any hundreds of places [...]

Mama Knows Best

Last month, I met up with Jonah and his lovely wife at the Tamale Festival and gleefully ate until I was stuffed. We agreed the winner of the day was the green chile and cheese tamale from Mama’s Hot Tamales Cafe, which was conveniently located right on 7th Street, the location of the festival. [...]

Carne Asada de Aqui es Oaxaca

Monday, June 18, 2007 19:05 3 Comments

When I’m hosting a BBQ, few things have the bang for the buck that Carne Asada has. It’s easy to cook. It smells good on the grill. It has flavor. It’s beef. It’s cheap.
In all honesty, I don’t think I have ever had bad Carne Asada from my grill. Therefore, I feel pretty confident strolling [...]

Sinfully good – MarieBelle’s hot chocolate

I wouldn’t call myself a hot chocolate expert, per se, but I would definitely say I am a hot chocolate afficionado…
Mere sematics.
I know what I like when I try it, but I cannot say I’ve sampled all the best the world has to offer.
But I have certainly given it my best shot!
At Angelina, [...]

Tacos Por Favor

Yesterday evening, met up with some friends to go walking as a way to unwind from the end of a long work week. Parked at Ocean near the Totem Pole and walked down to the famous staircase where dozens of very fit good-looking people were powering up and down the stairs.
Anyway, after [...]

Korean-Mexican Fusion: Kalbi Tacos?

Wednesday, January 31, 2007 9:52 4 Comments

What I like best about living in LA is the accessibility to almost any type of food you crave. The SGV is home to many cantonese, chinese and taiwanese establishments. Little Tokyo and the South Bay are home to delicious japanese food. Thai food in Hollywood, etc. But Koreatown has to be one of the [...]
