I went here with a friend and loved it so much I have already been back a second time. So you will get to see some dining options. I just ask that you don’t judge us. For those of you that have been to Teote, you know where I’m going with this, for those of you that have never been, well you will get to see all the stuff we ordered.

You can’t miss the place with it’s bright blue front. It stands out and calls your name. You enter to a modest looking place with little seating. You walk up to the counter and place your order.

I ordered Teote Plate with your choice of El Diablo, Smokey Pollo, Pabellón, Chorizo or Pernil, served with beans, rice, salad, fried plantains & buttered arepa. I asked him which one I should order and without hesitation he said [Read more…]

32nd & Hawthorne Blvd

Carte Blanche

Update: As of February 2016 they have closed and are looking for brick and mortar.

Let me just start by saying that was dang good. I cannot wait to go back and try it again. It was easily one of the best curry dishes I have ever had. I am starting with this picture to let you know I do have some self control.  As you can see I didn’t actually pick it up and lick the bowl, even though I wanted too.

Let me back up and tell you about this fabulous dish that I devoured [Read more…]

I am a huge fan of Verde Cocina. We first discovered them a few months ago, in the Pearl, and enjoyed their Happy Hour and some dinner. I just love that every dish is filled with veggies. They gather whatever is in season and add it to their dishes with a Mexican flair.  Ever since we went for the Happy Hour I knew [Read more…]

Another mexican joint in the big city. Can it really stand up and stand out? That’s always the question. It’s surprising that people want all Mexican food to be the same and just like it was in Mexico or Texas and they want it a certain way. That seems boring to want them all to be the same way. Finding their own take on it, that is what is going to make them stand out.

Verde Cocina nailed it. It was love at first bite with this place. It’s different. It’s not [Read more…]

The Egg Carton

I have seen write ups about this food cart so I knew I needed to try it myself.  I do love Eggs Benedict and it was on the menu and it was receiving great reviews. I needed to find out for myself how good it was. Since I was dragging my husband along I checked the menu and reviews to find a second option to order and knew it was the FoPo Cristo.

The Eggs Benedict were really good. The Hollandaise sauce had a hint of lemon that just makes it [Read more…]
