Since El Caporal has closed I have been to the following with the following results. Cinco De Mayo - Blows. El Palenque - Second soo far in overall experience and quality to caproal, but they still blow hard El Canelo - Blows hardest, soo far this has been the worst mexican experience ever. Ogden st. I cannot say enough about the magnitude of suckage. I was toying with the idea of developing a rubric to score each mexican place. Mexican just hasn’t been the same since caporal closed. So in designing the rubric, caporal would have scored perfect and what not. Then I decided to just go eat and stuff my face and shelved the idea of a scoring tool. So the simple descriptors are how I am rating these places. Blows, Blows Hard, Blows Harder and last but not least Blows Hardest. 😛 ---

Went to La Tolteca today for lunch. It was great. Not El Caporal but I think I may have found a new place to hang my sombraro. Still have to try a few other places. THe food was really good, the salsa and chips were good, the service was good. The scenery was contemporary and clean compared to the rest of the restaurants in the area. Soo far this receives the highest marks in my opinion. :tup: :tup: ---

Avo Cado on Main Street is great. It’s in the Tops Plaza across the street from Ub South. The prices are decent and everything is homemade. ---

I had a nice chat with Javier from El Caporal tonight (the guy who says "thank you for coming my friends is so good to see you) I was at la tolteca and he was there with the owner of that restaurant. He was like “oh hello amigos is soo good to see you !!” I proceeded to cry about el caporal. He told us how he was in jail for 8 days then let go. They opened another el caporal in bradford i guess. ---
