Taco Azteca

 In Las Vegas there is such an abundance of Mexican restaurants that I find it overwhelming, but in a good way!  Just choosing where to eat for Mexican food makes it a bit harder.  After over a year of driving pass Taco Azteca, my friend and I finally went there!  We finally crossed this place off of our "foodie bucket list":



In the evenings they have their mini food truck in front of the restaurant:


Menu:


My friend had given up carne for Lent and when looking at this menu, we assumed the Quesadilla only had queso inside the folded tortilla.  When she got it, there was also carne inside!  I graciously took it from her and requested from the cook to have another quesadilla with only queso.  

For our drinks we each had a Champurrado (not on this menu).  This is a warm, thick, 'chocolately' drink, based on hominy flour, piloncillo, water or milk, and may also contain cinnamon, anise seed and/or vanilla bean.  This is not your average cocoa!  This drink is perfect for cold weather and is best to accompany it with a small snack or by itself!

Whenever I'm craving a late night snack, I'll make sure to come by Taco Azteca again :)

Herbs & Rye

After driving pass by  Herbs & Rye  for many years I finally went in to see what all the hype was about this place.  They serve classic cocktails that were popular during the Prohibition Era and before that time like the Gothic Age (unknown-1865) and Golden Age (1865-1900): Here's an example of of some of the drinks: I loved all the drinks they made, wasn't disappointed with any of them: Herbs & Rye also serves Italian food like  flatbreads , pasta, and  they're known for the steaks they cook, I'll try some next time!  I only had the appetite to drink: I really enjoyed my time here especially the atmosphere of a " speakeasy feel".  They get busy during the weekends so if you plan to dine in, make a reservation !

Hana Hou

During the last week of May, Bronsen and I went to Hawaii (my third trip) for vacation / family time / to eat! From my experience so far from eating Hawaiian local food, it consist an influential mix of traditional Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Polynesian, Portuguese, and American foods. If you're fond of any those ethnic foods like me, its like food heaven in Hawaii! We flew on our favorite airline, Hawaiian Airlines . Bronsen was hoping to get a nice meal than a snack because he always has a big appetite. His wish came true, the complimentary meal came with pasta with vegetables and vinegar dressing: and a big brownie!: Hawaiian Airlines going green: One night I was craving for saimin (ramen) noodles and spam musubi , a popular Hawaiian snack simply made with a block of rice, topped with a slice of spam, and wrapped in dried seaweed. Unfortunately, you can't see the noodles, its covered by the pork. I think there was more meat than the noodles! Hawa
