Beef patty, Swiss cheese, pineapple, ham, teriyaki sauce. Served with French fries. $9.25
That One Place, Port Orchard WA
This hamburger was nice and juicy, but a bit too salty between the teriyaki sauce and ham. I still really liked it though, and the fries were crispy and delicious.
Chicken breast sautéed with lemon caper sauce, served with mashed red skin potatoes, and asparagus. 3-course dinner $19.99
Lulu California Bistro, Palm Springs CA
Ugh, this wasn’t very good. The chicken was a bit dry and rubbery and the lemon caper sauce wasn’t very vibrant. Meh…
Two rolls with sweet and sour sauce. $4.25
Utopia Cafe, San Francisco CA
These weren’t that good. They were on the greasy side and were mostly filled with cabbage. Ugh, I was not impressed.
Tea. Complimentary
Slow roasted pork with roasted salsa. Braised beef tongue with tomatillo salsa. Served with side of black beans with queso fresco. Each $3.25
Uno Dos Tacos, San Francisco CA
These tacos were great (especially the lengua) and nicely priced. The meats were so flavorful and the corn tortillas were perfect. I also love the black beans that they come with. Noms!
Potato and leek soup served cold. 3-course dinner $19.99
Lulu California Bistro, Palm Springs CA
This soup was ok, maybe a bit bland. I did like the texture of it though.
Johnny’s bbq sauce, onion rings, smoked cheddar, and bacon served with crinkle-cut fries and a pickle. $11.95
Bongo Johnny’s, Palm Springs CA
The bacon was the best part of this burger because it was cooked perfectly. The patty was tender enough but a bit on the bland side. It could have been seasoned a bit better so thank goodness for the bbq sauce. Overall, it was ok.
Fried egg, shredded papaya, lotus root relish, pickled carrots and daikon, topped with Vietnamese herbs, spicy mayo, and fried shallots over brown rice and grilled pork. $11.75
Bun Mee, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this was a great, creative Vietnamese salad. The combination of ingredients was great and it was pretty hearty for a salad. I’m a sucker for eggs on top of everything so they had me there. I especially liked the lotus root relish because it was very different.
Ecuadorian tilapia, Negra Modelo beer battered and fried, with salsa verde, sour cream, and house slaw. $3.95
Tropisueno, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this fish taco was very tasty. I liked the beer batter and it wasn’t greasy at all. Top it with some more salsa from their salsa bar and you have a winner!
Platter with rice, black beans and salad. $8.75
Casa Mexicana II, San Francisco CA
This was decent. I thought the mole sauce was good, but it could have been a bit more complex and rich in flavor. Definitely a good amount of food for the price though. The service here is hit or miss though. They completely frustrated me at times…
Brown rice and spinach. $10
Bar Tartine, San Francisco CA
This salad was actually really delicious, but it was nothing more than a snack. The serving was REALLY small especially for the price. I was really annoying.
Strawberry and juniper soda. $6
Topped with ranchera sauce and queso fresco. $4.50
Tropisueno, San Francisco CA
This enchilada was good, but kinda small for the price. I liked the ranchera flavor and the queso. The chicken was pretty standard.
Guacamole. Side $1
I do love their salsa bar and the orange habanero salsa is the best!
Two enchiladas filled with grilled chicken, cheese, queso fresco, grilled onions and poblano peppers, served with black beans, Mexican rice and topped with red sauce, sour cream, chopped onions and cilantro. $10.75
The Little Chihuahua, San Francisco CA
These enchiladas were ok, but I had actually ordered them “for here” so it was annoying to sit at a table and eat out of a “to-go” container. I don’t understand right now…!
