Carnitas, carne asada, and pollo asado on organic corn tortilla, onion, cilantro relish, lime, and roasted tomatillo salsa. Taco Wednesday, each $2
The Castro Republic, San Francisco CA
I really miss going to this place and Taco Wednesday. The tacos are always very good for being only two bucks each!
Hongos, pollo asado, and carne asada.
Bar seating $180
Pineapple & Pearls, Washington DC
Sadly, I don’t really remember much about this lamb except that they explained ad nauseam. I appreciated the description, but quickly forgot everything once I began eating. I do remember that the lamb was really tender and very flavorful.
Penne pasta with tomato, oil, garlic, chili pepper. €10
La Biga, Rome ITALY
This tasted fine, but I still couldn’t get over the yellow light! It just made all the food look SO unappetizing! Our server was really nice and friendly though and the experience was great overall (minus the light, lol).
Rum-soaked dessert. €6.50
Napoletano’s Pantheon, Rome ITALY
This was definitely rum-y, but I really liked it! The rum flavor wasn’t too over-powering, and I liked the texture of the pastry and the cream wasn’t too heavy.
Cheese pizza with sliced mushrooms and sausage. €12
Virgilio Pizzeria, Rome ITALY
Ugh, this was probably the worst food of the trip, and the service was horrendous! This restaurant is definitely a tourist trap with horrible food!
Homemade tagliatelle pasta in a bolognese sauce. €12
La Biga, Rome ITALY
This tasted fine, but that yellow light made all the food look sickly! But I guess why look at your food, when you can look out and enjoy the amazing view of the Colosseum in front of you!
Served with ranch dressing, carrots and celery. 6 pieces $8.95
Harvey’s, San Francisco CA
I suppose anything covered in buffalo wing sauce can’t be that bad. These were still on the dry side though, but I didn’t expect much at Harvey’s…
With mussels, clams, and shrimp. €17
Napoletano’s Pantheon, Rome ITALY
This risotto was really tasty! I thought it was going to be a throw-away dish, but they packed it with plenty of nicely cooked seafood. I would order this again in a heartbeat! Mmm…
Rock shrimp, salted cabbage, chives, egg, red XO. $19
Mister Jiu’s, San Francisco CA
This seafood fried rice was legit! The rice was still tender, and all the ingredients were of really nice quality. Even the shrimp were juicy and not over-cooked as in most fried rice dishes. Yummy!
Artichoke cream bruschetta. €4
La Biga, Rome ITALY
Um, this was ok. I don’t think I liked the texture very much. It was too wet and almost slimy. I liked the flavor of it though and the toasted bread stood up well to the artichoke spread.
Lettuce with avocado-ranch dressing, tomato-chile tortilla bowl, black beans, jack cheese, jalapenos, sour cream, salsa and diced chicken. $12.95
Harvey’s, San Francisco CA
This is more like a chicken taco salad bowl than a chicken tostada, but I’m not really going to argue with what Harvey’s wants to call it. It was marginal.
Baked lasagne with minced beef, mozzarella, tomato sauce, parmesan cheese. €11
Napoletano’s Pantheon, Rome ITALY
Just like mama used to make! Ok, my mom never made me lasagna growing up, but if she did I would hope that it tasted like this one! This tasted great – it was hot, gooey from the cheese and the meat sauce was delicious. A total winner!
