Here’s a slightly edited/updated Cinco de Mayo In The Kitchen column rerun, from 2009, in honor of this year’s Saturday holiday. Unlike then, it’s now possible to find tacos al pastor in some local establishments (Two Sevens and Tacoria, for instance), and it is still one of my favorite casual Mexican dishes. The photo here … Continue reading
I guess I really shouldn’t call a fifteen minute drive to Hillsborough a road trip, but hey, I was feeling carefree as I headed north on Route 206 with my friend Betty early the other evening. And I was headed for the best Mexican food in the area. It had been several months (maybe six?) since … Continue reading

First there was La Costeñita in Hillsborough, the wonderful Mexican place I reviewed last winter. Over the years, they transitioned from being … Continue reading
Time has flown by and I’ve been dining all over the place, in addition to cooking at home (sometimes for upcoming print articles in the Packet). Here’s a photo gallery of some of the dishes I’ve enjoyed. My review of Ricky’s Thai will appear soon, and the duck noodles below were my sleeper hit. I … Continue reading
As usual, I’ve been chronicling my favorite dishes of the last month, aside from the special meals I’ve already posted about.
