Q: positive

A: One of my favorite restaurants in the Valley. I've had a good number of items on the menu and still can't pick a favorite dish. The service is great and the prices are ridiculously reasonable!

Q: negative

A: Stopped by for an early lunch today at 11:15. Nobody at the hostess station and it was several minutes before anyone acknowledged we were there. Our server didn't indicate there were any lunch specials nor ask if we had any questions. Once our order was placed the food arrived quite quickly which would have been fine had the food been prepared fresh. My wife ordered enchiladas which were barely warm in the middle so they obviously were pre-made and reheated. My machaca burro was fine. Ice tea was never refilled and, we weren't asked if we wanted dessert. I don't know if it was an off day for them but I'll probably not find out since one bad experience is all I'm willing to invest.

Q: positive

A: I've been here twice so far and love the pizza. However, the service is not as great. Both times they accidentally slid the pizza off the plate onto the bar, but I was too hungry and nice for them to make another. My friend and I also had to explain what the ingredients were to the drinks we wanted. The servers at the time were a mom and daughter so I just didn't want to be mean and snobby to them at the time. I told them they could use their phones to get an app with plenty of drink ingredients included, they were really nice about it. Maybe I will get take out next time.

Q: positive

Geez, Yoga? I couldn't even touch my toes and being tall + lanky, the thought of stretching in front of a bunch of people scared the crap out of me! But I have heard about the countless positives of yoga, and now being in a phase where I am willing to leave my cozy little shell I finally manned up and gave it a shot. I heard about Yoga Nirvana from a friend, and any sort of "in" was good enough. I will explain, but wow was it a great decision! I just got a maximum 25 class membership and am really eager to set aside 2 days a week for this. I have done a handful of classes through two different instructors here so far. I usually do night times, and a younger dude Jake is running the show. In one word I would describe him as "chill", I kinda feel like he is just a student in the class with you... as he walks around a lot observing and helping as he speaks. I can rarely spot him in the front. The thought of Adam and Eve blindly hearing God in the sky came to mind. "Where the..." Lol. I totally recommend the class if you have done Yoga at least one time before in your life, and want a really chill session. The reason I say that is because a lot of his lesson is verbal, like a smooth flowing poem. He may or may not be in the front doing everything he is saying. But if you don't know what some of the basic words (poses) are, you might have to look at a neighbor to see what is going on instead of searching for Jake. To summarize, he is like an "A" student who is guiding others in becoming an "A" student. The other teacher I have had is Jim, the early class. Now I have gone to elementary, middle, high school, college, and have had many mentors for sports, arts, etc... My parents are even teachers, and so are most of their friends. Bottom line is that I have known a lot of teachers, I am like a super pupil. My point is- Jim's yoga class, is some of the best teaching I have ever witnessed, in any subject matter. I don't want to blab and blab, but in one word I would simply describe Jim as "Yogi". He is truly one that not only masters the material (as he also teaches the crazy hard yoga that I watched in awe) but also gave me this amazing passion about yoga through his lesson. I now treat this yoga nirvana commitment pretty much like going to the Gym. Can't be missing days, making excuses... I would only be cheating myself! After the few sessions, I can do way more than touch my toes (woohoo) and I wake up every morning with a different mentality. Do a few basic stretches, close my eyes, and just reflect upon how lucky I am to have such amazing things surrounding me.
