Vining Across The Border

Oscar Wilde once wrote, “The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it… I can resist everything but temptation.” This, my friends, is how I feel about Mexican food. The moment the thought of some delicious, juicy fajitas pops into my head, it stays and lingers there until the craving has been fulfilled. Immediately.

Qué Pasa, located on Monterey Street in the downtown area, was where I chose to cure my craving. The waiters speaking Spanish to each other, the beautiful decorations everywhere you look, and Latin American soccer games playing on the TVs give a very welcoming and fun atmosphere to this restaurant. Arroz con pollo for myself, a burrito for my friend, and a couple margaritas made for a tasty way to end our stressful Monday.

Raku is The name, Japanese Fusion is The Game

When walking down Higuera Street, I would always see one restaurant with colorful and eclectic decor, lots of pretty lights, and outdoor seating. My curiosity was sparked from the moment I lay my eyes on it, and although I am not usually a fan of Japanese food, I was drawn in by the ambiance of this restaurant. Upon entering, I was immediately greeted by the very personable owner, Tony, who slowly helped me get rid of my apprehension to try this food.
