Restaurant Roundup:
Mexican restaurants I've visited since the last roundup that I already have reviews up for include Taco Rosa, Azteca's, Taco Factory, Javier's, and Taleo Mexican Grill. Each one of these may still get a review here again but sometimes I have to go to a place and just eat and not review.Azteca's Takeout - Chicken Mole Enchiladas
Non-Mexican restaurants I've been to since the last roundup include, but are not limited to, Kabuki (yes, Kabuki . . . again), Lee's Sandwiches, Cento & Fanti, Ruby Palace, Lotus Chinese Eatery, Crescent City Beignets, Wasabi, Pei Wei Asian Diner, King's Hawaiian (da Local Place dis time), Club 33, and Lucca Cafe.
Updated entries:
I've updated the Salsa Extravaganza and Salad Wars entries.Speedy Gonzalez:
I recently found out there is a place in Texas called Speedy Gonzalez Mexican Food. Does anybody know more about this? Do they use the actual Warner Bros. character in their brand identity? There's also a Taco Cart in NYC with Speedy on the sombrero. Speaking of Speedy Gonzales, there is also a site that imagines a Grudge Match between him and the Taco Bell chihuahua. Is there any doubt who would win?

hmm, not mex-food related, but I've been meaning to check out Lotus Chinese - how was it?
We had a company breakfast at Lucca Cafe in Quail Hill one morning - ther service was great, friendly management, and very nice presentation, but the pancakes I had were nothing special really.
I thought Lotus was fine. My brother who got me to go there really likes it.
I think the last time I was at the Park Bench Cafe was in 1976. They had a machine there that was sort of like an arcade game but you could watch a Woody Woodpecker cartoon on it and I was fascinated by it. Of course, I might be getting the cafe mixed up with another place there at the park. Are there two places you can get food at?
Update: from looking at SqueezeOC the other place to eat at at the park is Alice's Breakfast in the Park. From my fuzzy memory the Park Bench Cafe is the one I was at 30 years ago. I think it's time to go back. I've only been right by it about a million times.
dang, that was a photo dump! but an excellent one!
Might add one more photo in if I can locate that picture of my food from Club 33.
