A: Quicken Loans somehow got ahold of my work number and is inundating me with mortgage refinance offer calls and voicemails. They are jeopardizing my ability to make an income to pay my existing mortgage. Good rates or not, their hounding tactics may me want to stay far away from them. They treat sales like hard core collections. TERRIBLE

A: Tonight was the second visit for me and my wife since we moved to Matthews in early February. I am a big Mexican food fan and I think it's pretty hard to find a good Mexican place in North Carolina. I guess I've been spoiled since I lived in Arizona for a couple of months and have had it in California and Texas. Nonetheless... out of all of the Mexican restaurants I have been to in NC, this one is my favorite. The first night we went, they had a guacamole cart and someone making it fresh in front of us. It was very good. In fact, it was the first time that my wife tried it - and she is a pretty picky eater - but she liked it. I didn't find it overly salty and the flavors all balanced each other out. I always judge a Mexican restaurant by the salsa. I personally like spicy stuff, so when the salsa is bland, I can pretty much count on the meal being bland. And that's NOT what Mexican food is supposed to be! That's what American food is. :-) The salsa here is very good - cilantro, diced tomatoes, onion, and of course - tomato. It was decently spicy too but not overly spicy. I have had tacos, an enchilada, a chile relleno, and an avocado tostada. The tacos were really good, pretty standard but they had good flavor. I usually don't like enchiladas, but I liked the one I had here. I wasn't a huge fan of the chile relleno because it wasn't just a pepper with meat and cheese... it had some sort of batter that it was cooked in. I guess that's the style down here since the other places I have been had it the same way. The avocado tostada (my meal for tonight) was very delicious. I hadn't ever had that before, so I was being a little adventurous. It had a corn tortilla on the bottom, and was topped with chicken, lettuce, tomato, and salsa. Everything was very good. I will definitely be back and I hope that they stick around for a while!

A: There are places that I have visited that I know I will return to and frequently recommend. This is NOT one of those places. When we walked up to the building, it seemed like a fun spot. We walked in and was greeted by no one. So we decided to seat ourselves at the bar. The decor was fun enough. Giant portraits of rock legends Jimi Hendricks, Jim Morrison, and Sid Vicious. But again, greeted by no one when we sat at the bar. Waitress walked past us without a smile or any kind of acknowledgment. Finally was able to place an order, but it was like talking to a brick wall trying to order. You would think a waitress working at a sushi restaurant would take at least five minutes to educate herself on the menu. Oh, and never asked for a drink order. I'm sitting at the bar, I think that means that I want to drink. All in all the waitress did not seem interested in helping us. We came in on a Wednesday night, not busy or packed. The food...... Some of the blandest, tasteless sushi ever. I could have gotten better sushi at a bait shop. Completely lacking in flavor, taste, and flare. Do yourself a favor, if you find yourself walking toward Sushi A Go Go, turn around and "go go" to Stingray (same owner but better food and service)

A:
Really enjoyed the atmosphere. The crispy, spicy, tuna roll was unusual and yummy.
