many breakthroughs have been made on our mexico city trip. i finally finished david lida's book first stop in the new world, its about life in mexico city...the hidden gems, the gritty, etc. it was an eye opening read but now i feel more prepared for our trip. i also stumbled upon david lida's blog a few nights ago and it's addicting! every post has a picture with a short and sweet 6-10 sentence entry every few days. it's been fun to read and the man knows what he is talking about.

in an epsiode of no reservations w/ anthony bourdain. anthony joins david lida in mexico city for a trip to the taco stand. brian and i can't wait to make many memories like this

rancho bravo

alright. i gave rancho bravo three tries. it's no good. tough asada, tasteless pollo, and the salsa. wow. what are they thinking? it's like dyed glue! i would have to say the best thing they have going for this place is the mole burrito. it's good but not amazing. i am just not impressed. everyone in seattle likes to flip their shit about new anything! and there is always a handful that have the highest opinions about these places.

i am one of them.

i am here to say it and i will say it again tacos el asadero on rainier ave s is by far the best.

a commentor on the stranger's blog, the slog, said it best

love it! and i can say something because i am mexican so i know better.
