Pollo en mole – San Jalisco

Pollo en mole - San Jalisco
Fresh chicken smothered with home-made puebla-style chocolate mole sauce, served with refried beans and rice. $13.95
San Jalisco, San Francisco CA

I loved the mole sauce in this dish. I’m sure it wasn’t the healthiest for you, but that’s probably why it was SO good. It was very flavorful and the chicken was also tender and juicy.

Tai gan pho – Pho Than Brothers

Tai gan pho - Pho Than Brothers
Rice noodle soup with eye-round steak and soft tendon. Medium with extra meat $7.20
Pho Than Brothers, Seattle WA

This pho was pretty good. I thought that the flavor of the broth could have been a little more developed. The soft tendon was good, but I didn’t finish it. The best part of the meal is the complimentary cream puff though. I’ve always liked their delicious cream puffs!

These tostadas were bright and refreshing. There was plenty of seafood atop those crispy tortillas. I also liked the variety of their salsa bar. They even have some salsas that are actually spicy, score!

Chicken tikka brown rice bowl – Tava Indian Kitchen

Chicken tikka brown rice bowl - Tava Indian Kitchen
All natural hormone-free chicken marinated in tandoori spices, light tomato cream sauce simmered with Indian spices. $7.50
Tava Indian Kitchen, San Francisco CA

This place is like an Indian version of Chipotle. You choose you toppings and build your bowl, salad, or burroti. Anyway, I didn’t like it. It was mostly rice and not enough of anything else. Their scoops for the meat are tiny so there’s practically no chicken in there. You do get to choose as many sauces you want, but who cares if there’s no meat to eat it with. I need more meat!
