"This is a great, messy, late-night gyro with lamb and beef. Sit on the corner cushion in the back, and don't forget lots of harissa, fries, and to bring cash (no credit cards accepted)."
"A la Mode is a great place to stop for a mid-afternoon treat. You can sit right at their counter and enjoy a slice and an espresso. All of the pies I've tried there have been delicious, but the Mexican chocolate is my favorite. The mousse filling is incredibly light, but the chocolate flavor is intense with a hint of spiciness. What else do you need to know? Eat pie."
"Guanaco's does a great job with all their pupusas. My recommendation? Go with friends and get a few to share. The thick corn tortillas, the meaty/cheesy/veggie fillings, and the traditional cabbage salad are the ultimate comfort foods."
"Chef Nathan Lockwood knows just how to coax just the perfect melting texture and deep flavors from tripe and oxtail for this pasta dish. A hint of chilies brightens the brooding ragú and shows the restraint evident in the kitchen's hand. This is my fall pasta crush."
