I had driven by Cafe Posada a million times and finally decided to stop in after we tried to hit Joe's Farm Grill for the Friday Fish Fry (they had run out). The sign outside said "Under Old Management" which indicated to me that this was a good time to try it. It must be good! Alas. This is Mexican food like your white momma used to make. Think black olives from a can served on top of sour cream, shredded cheese, and some sort of variation of meat/beans. And we actually had to ask if they served alcohol because there wasn't an alcohol menu and the waitress didn't offer.

Everthing here was delish. The resturant was cool and minimal. It's byob with cool glass bottle sodas. We brought a 6 pack of Stella which paired well with the spicy flavors we enjoyed. We chose a level 2 on the 1-5 chart for everthing, which was still pretty spicy. We started with the belly buns, pig wings and Thai fried chicken. The belly buns were wonderful and flavorful. Soft buns with awesome pork balanced with clean crisp radish. The pork wings were great to spicy sweet tender the are worth going back. The Thai chicken was good but couldn't compete with the more flavorful dishes. We had the loveboat soup, which was the most spicy dish of the night. The thin spicy broth and thin rice noodles with ample veggies is the type of soup that builds in heat as you eat but is too good to put down. We moved on to the street noodle 1, chaing mai curry, and the yee saw. Street noodle 1, with its generous portion of Thai fried chicken was clean and spicy. The chaing mai was my favorite dish of the night. The tender chicken and twisting noodle were lovingly drenched in a warmingly hot, creamy delish yellow curry sauce. The yee saw was very good spicy sweet and I loved the big chewy noodles. I would say this place with its great atmosphere, great food, and great service is a great date spot. The above meal ran 70.00 but the portions were large and easy to share. As far as beer I would suggest stay away from IPA'S and Stouts. Any clean belgain or American lager, euro pilsner or even a light corona would work well.

I've been having the ugliest craving for Curry House CoCo Ichibanya, but because the closest one is 263 miles away, I thought I'd save up on gas and try this place out. At Japanese Curry Zen, I experienced great service, just as many other reviewers have, but the chicken cutlet I ordered was dry and bland, and the curry wasn't anything extraordinary. I understand that CoCo's is a franchise and it wouldn't be fair to compare this local dine-in to it, but I've also had better curry at other local Japanese/Island restaurants for half the price. They DO serve a mini bowl, so if you just want to try it, go ahead and order that instead.

They misdiagnosed our cat as having diabetes. After the cat went into insulin shock they said 'well, sometimes it just goes away.' Seems like they to want to kill animals as expensively as possible.
