Stoob's

Everyone's talking about Steuben's and I guess for a good reason.  Don't you like the nickname I gave it? Stoob's?  It's terribly original and it rhymes with... well, a few words.

The highlight of this place is the chicken and waffles, no doubt!  Good comfort food, not expensive at all, good brunch spot or a place to grab a drink. I've only eaten dinner there once and ordered beer and grilled cheese because I was too hungover to stomach anything else... It went down nicely.

I like the semi-hipster (but no soul patch necessary) feel to it and that I can order grilled cheese.  I tried their breakfast burrito the other day and I would definitely eat one again.

What do you think of Steuben's?

Mexasiacan


 
Look at those tacos... they were fat and delicious.  Those tacos were so fat that their belt size was equator!! I never really understood why that fat joke was funny.

Boa, where they claim East meets West through ingredients, was great for two people who couldn't decide on eating Mexican or Asian style food.  In three words I would describe this place as, Mexican, Asian and delicious.  In two words I would say Mexasiacan (mex-asia-can) and delicious.  Thanks to my buddy Brandon Iwamoto (who told me about this place a long time ago) and that app urbanspoon, we found a place where two completely different food styles and cultures meet in harmony.

Our waitress was awesome, we then figured out she was the owner and started the restaurant after taking some shots of vodka with a friend.  I was more curious about what kind of vodka she was drinking to come up with this sweet idea.

I don't like long posts. I don't like long sentences either even though sometimes I can write a run on sentence and not even know that I'm doing it and then it's embarrassing and you probably lose interest and will never read anything I write again which is sad but that's why I prefer taking pictures.

Anyways Boa was great! Intimate, smaller, trendy and with a great menu for indecisive couples.  I got the smoked carnita tacos with a side of calabacitas, which is sauteed zucchini and corn with some chili thrown in.
