Q: This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. We always stop by here on our way back from the airport; it's a family tradition. The chips and salsa are delicious although I have to add a little salt to both. When I used to work near the restaurant I would have lunch at least once a week. David, the owner, was always there to great my party. At lunch the service was really quick. Now that I work on the other side of the valley I don't get by as often, but when I'm on that side of town I always stop by to eat. I love the Tostada Especial with Machaca Beef. Los Compadres is great when you have a large party. They are willing to seat you together and will also divide the bill into separate tickets. When it is a large group they are slower, but they make sure your class is filled and the chips just keep coming. Sometimes I get full from the chips before the food arrives. There is nothing fancy about this place just good home cooked food. A party of two can eat for under $20.00. In this economy that is a fantastic value!

Q: What the heck do zebras have to do with a Mexican restaurant? Yep, nothing. I abhor the decoration here, but more than that, the food was not good either. This was not my choice of restaurants, but fortunately I do not have to go back. The only thing that was good were the warm chips.

Q: Best Vietnamese I've had, and although a little pricey (their daily specials are creative and tasty, but start at $11) I just can't resist. In fact, I think I'll just stick with Lang Van curries when I'm in the mood, because as different as they are from Thai, they're satisfying and complex, and the chefs are willing to sub ingredients if you're having a craving for, say, eggplant instead of potato. This place is a vegetarian paradise, and has three times as many options for meaters. My all time fav is the Banh Xeo-- a huge savory pancake made with shitakes and stuffed with bean sprouts and tofu. Served with that tangy, peanut-y fish sauce and a mound of fresh herbs on the side as a salad-- thai basil, mint, cilantro and fresh lettuce. Talk about Vietflavor overload. LOVE it.

Q: Not yummy...so sad...what is up with the millions of sesame seeds on my bun and that's the only bun I can choose from.
