Maybe you're right. However, if they are good, I'd expect their
"secondary" cuisine to at least be passable ( for example, Los Pericos
has good Mexican food). If the difference in the quality between the
two cuisine is that great, they are making a BIG mistake in advertising
both. Their Mixican food is scaring off customers!

In any case, I expect you are right and retract most of my earlier.
Instead, I'd say "if you go there, avoid their Mexican dishes".

I just came back from the garlic festival, and quite frankly, it was a 
letdown! I went for the first time last year and thought it was a blast!
I had really high expectations for this year's fest, but was sadly 
disappointed. It was pretty crowded, but no where near as bad as
last year. (probably because I went on Friday this year, and Sunday
last year)

The first thing I did was to make a beeline straight for the Calamari at
gormet alley. The Calamari I had last year was probably the main reason
why I went back this year --It was SOOOOOO good...
Well, this year's rendition was no where close. It was rubbery <overcooked>
and was quite tasteless. There were also some squid guts mixed in...
It wasn't hot and spicy this year either, and was served luke warm.
Very disappointing.


Everything else at the festival seemed to be pretty much the same as 
year's festival - only a year older. The same booths were there with
the same food, the same signs, and even the same location! It's as if
the garlic festival never closed.

My friend and I spent about $50 total at the fair... Admission is only
$7 this year...

I wonder how long it'll take to get rid of my breath...

The purpose in life of this posting is to back up John Shipman's enthusiastic
review of Motomachi.  I haven't had a real sushi dinner there, but I have eaten
their hamachi nigiri, and it was the best hamachi I'd ever had the pleasure
of consuming (and I'm a severe fanatic of hamachi).  The other dish of theirs
which I have been extremely impressed by is the nabeyaki udon.  I'd rate it in
the top two all-time bowls; the udon are just the way I like them, fat but not
mushy, and the flavors of the broth & tenpura were delicious without being
incredibly oily.  I even liked the red & white fish cakes, which is almost a
first for me.  (Even my wife liked the fish cakes, which is definitely a first

Since Stoyanoff's was mentioned several times, the following footnotes:

At lunch it's a cafeteria.  The food is variable, some items fair, others
delicious.  Prices are inexpensive.  Almost everyone who lives in the
neighborhood eats here, it seems.  

At dinner there's table service, the food is fancier.  The one time
I had dinner (have been many times for lunch) the food and service

I've never seen Italian Ices in a store in the Bay area.  It is quite different
then gelato.  I'm not sure what granita is so can't comment on it.  

The good news is that Italian Ices are now available in Safeway (Lucky doesn't
seem to have it).  The only options are Lemon and Strawberry.  It is good and
tastes like the real stuff.

If you are in the area.... Akagi's in San Bruno one street West of

Try Stoyanoff's on 9th Avenue. Excellent Balkan/Turkish/Greek food. It is about half a block away from GGP on the south edge. (I cannot remember the name of the major street for sure.)

If you do freak out on avial, there is a small place over in Milpitas which

There's some fairly good inexpensive restaurants along Irving street (1 block
south of GGP). There's a couple of Japanese restaurants: the Ebisu on 9th Ave
and Irving, Hana's between 4th and 5th Ave. There's a great little Mexican
restaurant on 9th called Peppers where the selection isn't huge but everything
is very very fresh and tasty. If you're into dessert and coffee there's Tart
to Tart between 7th and 8th Ave or Just Desserts between 9th and 10th Ave.
If you like sea food, PJ's Oyster Bar, between 8th and 9th Ave, serves fresh
sea food dishes California style. The list goes on. Anyway, Irving street has
a lot of restaurants and is close to the park.

Some North Beach places my hubby and I like are Basta Pasta and The
Stinking Rose. Hope this helps.

In the Irving/9th Ave area, there's also a new Eritrean restaurant/bar at
around 12th Ave.  I've eaten there twice so far, and found the food superior
to the other Eritrean/Ethiopean places I've tried.  Their lunch menu lists
the vegetarian combo at 8.50, just for an example.  

Another route while at the park is to walk over to Clement or Geary, the other
side of the park.  There are a zillion places to eat on that side also. 

There's also Haight Street.  Favorite lunch places are Cha Cha Cha for
tapas and Latin American-ish food (but get there at 12, or there'll be a line)
and Crescent City Diner (New Orleans gumbo, jambalaya, etc.).

They're not prawns; they're shrimp (or prawn) paste.  The sauce is a satay sauce,
rather than the more usual "nuoc mam".

Anyway, yes, this *is* a fairly "regular" dish.  It's called "chao tom" (missing,
of course, various diacritical accents).

This reminds me of 2 restaurant-roach incidents.  All restaurnts have roaches (they taught us this in the food service sanitation course I once had the pleasure of attending).  However, if the customers see roaches, that means there are serious problems.  

Incident 1)  A friend and I went to lunch at a salad place in Sunnyvale, a place now out of business.  There was a roach at the plate/silver station. I coaxed it onto a plate and asket the counterperson "How much are these?"  The other customers were not amused.

Incident 2)  The regualr exterminator for a Chinese restaurnt in the Detroit area arrived during the lunch hour.  This restaurant was clean and safe, and the exterminator was to spray the store rooms (see above).  However, the timing was terrible.  When they sprayed the back rooms, the patrons were showered with roaches as they ran from the spray into the dining room.

and a good time was had by all.
