I went there twice, once recently for take out only, and once about two months back to dine in. Had the bean noodle with minced pork, kung pao chicken, spicy wontons, and shrimp with walnuts both times. All were excellent. And yes, the Sichuan dishes were oily, but we expected that going in. When we dined in, we also ordered fried dumplings. Somewhat incongruously, they were served after all the other dishes had been ravaged and we were almost ready to go. Worth the trip again from DelCo, and convenient to Trader Joe's. |

Sorry In-N-Out lovers, I just came back from San Diego and a trip to INO. SO and I had two good Double-Doubles but some really average and small fries (and lukewarm after less than a 10 min drive down I-8). We sampled Five Guys in Deptford, NJ and Moorestown, NJ in the past month. Five Guys definitely won out on fries and just slightly won out on the burger. On the other hand, it only cost us $12 at In-N-Out and over $20 for the same meal at Five Guys. Plus, In-N-Out has shakes too. Since Five Guys is now in California, more head-to-head taste tests are possible. Hopefully this was a once-in-a-while glitch for INO. |

Plaza Azteca in Plymouth Meeting Had takeout from there about two weeks ago. The cost for two chicken burritos and two seafood burritos (all a la carte) plus chips and salsa was around $17.00. Wife and I thought it was pretty good, and cheaper than Qdoba, Baja Fresh, etc...They looked more like enchiladas, but big enchiladas nonetheless. Would go back for more. |

PIZZA! In Chapel Hill or Durham Just went to Sal's in Chapel Hill this weekend. We had slices of ham, mushrooms, anchovies and meatballs. The meatball slice I had almost fell apart because of too many meatball slices. Not that that's a bad thing...I should have eaten it right away instead of yapping. Crunchy yet chewy crust. Very prompt and friendly service. They had wine, but we did not partake. Would go there again. Well, not specifically Eastgate, because... They will be moving out of Eastgate soon and going near the Burger King down 15-501. Don't quote me but I think that's either on Elliott Rd or S Estes Dr...there's a sign by the front door as you check out that has the new address. One employee I spoke with said they just didn't get enough foot traffic, because unless you know where they are [or see the banner that says "Sal's Pizza"] you can't find it. New location should be easier to find and get a parking space, too. |

What's the best Mexican fast food chain? I'll nominate two from the Southwest: and Filiberto's (Arizona and California My preference is Roberto's: lots of late night studying fueled by chorizo and egg burritos, carne asada and guac burritos and the classic three rolled tacos with guac and sprinkled cotija cheese. Mmmmmm. |

Best Pizza in Delaware County PA Just went there last week. The sausage pizza was awesome as advertised. |

My wife and I went this past weekend. It was rather late (about 9:15), so we just ordered appetizers. We had chorizo nachos (good, though burned a little), chicken flautas (also good) and some steak soft tacos with cilantro & onions. Overall, not bad. One weird thing: we asked for water along with our drinks and were told they don't serve water. Puzzled, we asked to speak with someone else. A manager came by (note: not the owner, who was busy) and explained that since they do not have a filter, they are unable to serve water "because we'll get in trouble." We never heard of that before - it's not like Delco is at the shore or has water unfit for human consumption. I also wonder where their ice comes from if the filter situation is true. |

Trader Joe's in Cary-- not seeing what the big deal is... I agree 100% with Atlantis. TJ's is a small, specialized gourmet food store with (mostly) cheap prices. WF is pricier and has a bigger (but not necessarily better) selection. I've been going to different TJ's for over 20 years and always get psyched up when one opens closer to me (I'm in Philly now and we have 5 or so). Enjoy it for what it is. |
