Q: You know that combined feeling of excitement and anticipation you get when you walk into a restaurant and it's as if you've stepped into someone else's country? Each time I walk into Sinaloa, I feel like I've been transported into a small beach side neighborhood in Mexico. Although I feel out of place, I'm ecstatic because I'm about to eat some of the best pacifico style seafood in the Valley. One of my favorite dishes is the Chiccarron de Pargo. A botana plate of lightly breaded pargo fish (pacific red snapper) that is served on top of a delicious salad that includes poached shrimp, avacados and orange slices. The "cherry on top" of this dish are the 2 large bacon wrapped peppers stuffed with a cream cheese and shrimp known as "Toritos" which are also available on the menu as an appetizer on it's own. Oh did I mention there's also a full bar! If you're not a fan of loud jukebox playing "ba bam bam ba bam bam" ranchero music consider ordering your food to go, which I did just a few hours ago.

Q: I had dinner here with a large group of people so i was able to try many items. The food was very disappointing. Foie gras app was overcooked and so were my scallops. I ate one bite of my scallop entree and left hungry. The only redeeming quality of this restaurant is great cocktails and service.

Q: Sign up for their newsletters. Their specials are no joke, man. Last week I got a 60-minute massage PLUS a free foot treatment for $40. What?! Yeah. The foot treatment was no more than 10 minutes, but still the 60-minute massage alone is worth the $40. The foot treatment happens right after the massage. You're still in the same room, on the same table. I got a Sugar Kiss treatment (it was around Valentine's day), so he pretty much gave me a lubed up sugar foot rub and then wiped off the sugar after. The foot treatments change all the time. Sometimes coconut, sometimes jizz. Just kidding. So iono if they have like only entry level masseurs, but my guy last time was decent. I got no complaints. (Plus when you review day spas, salons, or any biz where you work with one technician, you gotta be careful to review the biz, not the technician. But my guy was good. Just sayin'.) All of the employees I've encountered are warm and friendly. Some of the other customers seemed to have a real intimate rapport with the employees. Parking is never a problem. When you book your appointment, make sure you mention the email special. Some of the other emails specials are like a 60-minute facial with free add-on (giggle). I'ma start making massages a regular thang suckas! Sorry, I'm kinda hyped ...

Q: Kennywood vs. Knoebels. Knoebels wins only because the food is generally much better, it's cheaper, and the lines aren't as long for rides. I can see why Kennywood is so treasured around here, though, since the rides are usually worth the long waits. Luckily, rides don't make me sick like they do Darren. The Exterminator is my personal favorite ride along with the Jackrabbit, but the majority of them won't disappoint thrillseekers. Recommended, but look for coupons or something since tix can be expensive. Thankfully, my employer had their first annual company picnic here a few weeks ago, so Darren and I got in for free.
