Holiday Greetings!!

I want to wish everyone out there Happy Father's Day!!! Thank you for helping out with all the barbecues! Let me know what the menu was by informing me in the comments....

The Vine Greek Taverna

The Vine Greek Taverna was visited on 6-14-13

(I apologize for not posting forever, but I will make it up over the summer.)

Service:
We were greeted by the owner and was quite satisfied with the mood of all the staff.


Food:
We ordered a Greek salad, veggie pita, and a chicken pita. The sides were rice and Greek fries. The salad was crisp and the proper term for this would be "same look, better taste", I guess. The veggie pitas had a lot of veggies and the cheese was not to overpowering. The cheese was Haloumi cheese and it had a perfect balance of saltiness. The chicken pita was moist,flavorful,spiced right and the pita was warm and not soggy. The fries were covered in feta cheese and herbs make the fries Greek.The fries went well with the pita sandwiches and went even better with Sriracha, which proves that this Thai hot sauce goes well with most things. The rice was very well cooked and you could taste the butter. The dessert was a baklava like thing which had a custard in the middle. The custard tasted like anise. Anise tastes like licorice and I hate licorice. That was the one thing that my family disliked.



Price:

It was approx. $50, which was expensive for 3 people.



Overall:

I think that the Vine Greek Taverna deserves a 90% because of the blah ambiance and he dessert was not good.

 El Rancho Grande: 

We go to this bustling Mexican market because they have the best produce, not to mention their amazing sweets and popular cafe.... After we get our groceries, we stand by this little stall that has a blue umbrella which quotes" Nachos y Elotes" Elotes means corn. The way they make their corn is not only unique, but also really yummy looking. Here are the steps:
  • Cut off all the kernels. The corn must be boiled.
  • Put butter in the cup.
  • Take the corn and put in the buttered cup.
  • Lather on more sour cream, butter, and cheese.
  • Then add any seasonings, like lemon pepper or valentina, a Spanish hot sauce.
