Taco Monday ... failed

Monday, March 6

Franklin Inn has Taco Monday. So I got home and had beer, then left for Franklin Inn just after 6pm. The bar was busy as usual. We just missed Happy Hour (4pm-6pm), but it's not big deal. Because we were there for $1 Tacos and Wings (I forgot the price). We ordered 3 Tacos and were just about asking about wings, then the bartender kindly asked me if we would like to wait til 7pm. Taco Monday Special starts at 7pm! We were too hungry, so we just order regular plate. Damn,

Dinner at El Burro

Shredded Beef Taco and Salsa & Chips: El Burro is one of my favorite Mexican place but I don't go to North Shore much. Today I was visiting my friend staying in North Shore and I suggested this place. Yum. I didn't know that there is another location in Regent Square. Still I don't go there often either, and if I would go to Regent Square, there are many options to eat out. But hopefully I can come back to El Burro again soon.

Lunch at SMOKE barbeque taqueria in Lawrenceville on March 1.

I had heard about SMOKE barbeque taqueria in Homestead and wanted to go for a long time. Now the second place was opened in Lawrenceville. It is BYOB but there is Atlas Bottle Works next door. You can enjoy delicious tacos and good beer. I enjoyed everything I had. It's like fancy tacos. It's different from Medoza, but I like both.

Burrito at Mad Mex.

Dinner at Mad Mex on October 8.

I have come to Mad Mex before but this is the first time to have Burrito here. I usually come here early and it's happy hour. So I usually order happy hour special, chicken wings. 

But I didn't feel like wings (what's wrong with me??), I ordered burrito. It was good. I guess everybody knows. Anyway, I had half of it to go.
