The duck thing looks

I loooove duck so much. (The chinese place near me used to have cheap fried duck but unfortunately they stopped selling it) I hear goose is even better though.

Deep Sushi: The sashimi was just okay (I didn't have very high expectations) aside from the yellowtail which was really good. Didn't try anything else aside from the pear sake which was also very good. Expensive.

Revolver Taco Lounge: I was tipsy at this point, so it's possible that the tacos weren't quite as amazing as I believed them to be but we got the polpo (octopus) tacos and al pastor. The octopus ones were my favorite. SO GOOD. I wanted to order 12 more (because tequila brain) for later but I valiantly resisted. The al pastor tacos weren't any better or worse than what you'd get at your typical taqueria. Good, strong margaritas. They came in jars because everything comes in jars these days. (Those darn folksy whippersnappers)

Cindi's: Diner/deli type place. Had scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and the turkey club sandwich; both were decent. The menu is enormous and I was trying to choose lighter options so I didn't get to try what I might have otherwise. (elphenor had a waffle and a chicken salad sandwich--er, not at the same time obviously-- but I forgot to ask if they were any good) I'm sure the rest of the food is better than what I chose. About 2 hours after eating here I had excruciating lower abdominal pain for about 30 minutes--no other symptoms, no nausea or anything like that-- but then it mysteriously vanished so I'm not sure if it was the food or what. (It was a more extreme version of similar pains I get periodically after eating certain things)

Pepe's Pizza: Tried the gyro and it was pretty good; I LOVE gyros and I usually get them at Tex's Star Grill near me but these were almost as good. I'm content as long as they use real pita bread and not those paper-thin pita pocket things which alllllll the gyro places in Baton Rouge used.

..Also had drinks (I figure we may as well review local bars in this thread too) at Twilite Lounge in deep ellum; I got some cocktail involving chartreuse, gin and lime juice and it was interesting I suppose. (Personally I would have gone with cucumber rather than lime) It was enough to make me slightly tipsy at least. I generally like that bar. Or, at least, I don't aggressively hate it. They have a jukebox with a decent oldies selection which helps quite a bit.

Sorrento Pizza - Amazing Sicilian food made by octogenarian women who slowly walk your cheesy, perfectly topped pizzas or massive plates of chicken parmesan as your mouth waters. It's a lesser known institution where I live that stays as a hole in the wall because they don't want to dilute the family business. Right next to the Thai place I mentioned earlier.

How was your chicken salad sandwich????

**Frownland** · 02-26-2018, 09:23 PM

Best burger I've ever had tbh. Perfectly spiced, nice char, juicy as ****, savory brioche buns that aren't too sweet (a lot of places make them too sweet and ruin the burger). It's in Carlsbad, check it out if you're driving through there and want a $10 burger Chula. Dope fries and interesting beer selection too.

I just saw this. That taco truck was half my diet for three months. Legendary.

(still love that burger spot, absolutely don't miss it if you're visiting San Diego)

The part of town its in has a reputation for sketchiness but tbh I just think the people who say that see Mexicans and automatically think gangbangers.

Challenged by Antonio's

Their adobada burrito made me cry.

Cabeza just means "head"

I hope you tipped the waitress well
