Tall, Blonde, and Hungry

If you have no idea what the deal is, start  HERE So, with an extra $5 in my pocket I was feeling a little rich. While sushi may be my #1 ride or die, Mexican food takes a pretty close second. There's nothing better than fresh pico or guacamole, 3 to 8 tacos and a little too much tequila. So when I had the itch to order in, and with a credit on my Skip account, I went straight for this place: Los Mariachis (Mexican Cuisine)  7400 Macleod Trail SE Delivery Fee: $3.99 Price: $$$** Los Mariachis  is a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant that's family owned and operated. I've eaten in person there a few times, and I have never been disappointed. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the food is amazing, and they're extremely accommodating to people with allergies, suggesting alternatives and making them sans certain ingredients (ie. dairy)  Pollo en Molé  (Chicken in mole sauce, side of seasoned rice and beans) $18.00 Gimme dat sauce ...

If you have no idea what the deal is, start  HERE Sunday Brunch is a beautiful phenomenon, and it's made even more beautiful by the advent of delivery services. Which is how I FINALLY got to try out some grub from Nellie's Cafe , despite some setbacks with delivery.  Now I was fairly, shall we say, hungover so I only got one dish from the cafe. Voila! Morning Maple BLT (Maple Syrup, bacon, lettuce, tomato on rye. Served with hashbrowns) $9.75 Nothin better for breakfast This is a pretty standard BLT, but with maple syrup. Perfectly satisfactory, and filling. The hashbrowns were good too but I usually prefer shredded. Honestly, the food was good but nothing special. I feel like I'd probably love this restaurant in person, so I'm gonna reserve my rating until I can get a better sense of what Nellie's is about.  However, the real issue here was the fact that it took the restaurant an hour to confirm our order, and then another 40 minutes for it to ...

If you have no idea what the deal is, start  HERE I had meant to review this place a loooong time ago, but it took me three tries to remember to take a picture of my food. So here we go!  Famoso (thin crust pizza, sandwiches, soup and salad)  4th street (Mission District)  Delivery Fee: $5.99 Price: $$*** Famoso  is a Canadian chain that specializes in Neopolitan pizza, meaning it's thin crust, fresh ingredients, and on the fancier side of Pizza 73. Being lactose intolerant, I don't go in for the pizza, but for their Fire Bread sandwiches, which I get sans cheese. I've never really had an issue with that, and one location even phoned to inform me that the salad I had chosen was loaded with cheese. So I'm pretty safe with these guys.  The Wiseguy Sandwich (Italian Ham, spicy salami, prosciutto, spicy veggie spread and usually provolone) $14.25 (with side salad)  Oh helloooooo I LOVE this sandwich. It's a touch greasy, ...

If you have no idea what the deal is, start  HERE Happy New Year! I took last week off, mostly because it was busy and mostly so I could wait until I went here:  Pfanntastic Pannekoek Haus  (Dutch crepe-style pancakes, both sweet and savoury, breakfast food)  Lincoln Park Shopping Centre, 2439 54 Ave SW Delivery Fee:  N/A, Eat-in Price:   $**** The Pfanntastic Pannekoek Haus  is a tiny little hole in the wall just off of Crowchild Trail, in a strip mall that includes a pizza place and yoga teacher training. I'd had a bunch of people recommend I get there early, but I rolled up at 10 (they open at 8) and was able to get a table just fine. However, when we left there was a HUGE line almost out the door. So get there early!  My pfanntastic roommate took me here and I'm so happy I finally got experience it.  Let's get to the breakfast!  Banana, Coconut and Chocolate sauce pannekoek:  a large, Dutch-style cre...
