Quesos Banditos rides again!

Nothing says "!arriba, arriba!" like a good old-fashioned taco crawl. That's right. It's a day-time sojurn to some of the area's finest (and no so finest) taquerias. Part pub crawl, part gastronomical extravaganza, part marauding band of teetle-tollers.

After the holy-trinity of tacos: a chicken, pork, steak; half a steak burrito; side of salad and part of some sort of disappointing pupusa I was fairly full, not the overstuffed contentness I normally feel, but I knew I had a long "walk" back to my friend's appartment (hence the crawl) where nachos, a variety of salsas and punchbowls full of sangria awaited.

Observations:
  • In the areas less gentrified areas, shall we say, Italian dressing is a table-top staple at area restaurants. When asked what it was used for, the local 16-year old waiter said, "some people use it on salad and other stuff."
  • Taquerias and Mexican food in general is a pretty good racket. I'm not the first one to observe: cheese/meat/salsa + corn or flour tortilla + wrap/fold/press = the majority of Mexican cusine, at a pretty good price margin to boot.
  • God, I don't want to live in Sommerville.

Just as soem sort of reference, the entire portion of Somerville we were in was the "shitty" part of town. Once Once you cross the McGrath Highway, it gets pretty nice in most places. Especially the neighborhood across the street from me.

Hey didn't mean to offend you T. I loved your place, epsecially the awesome kitchen and appliances. I'm just not used to the less "gentrified" part of Boston. And anything over the river weirds me out, all squares included.
