In My Opinion By Robert McGuire:
That Taco Shop in San Antonio, TX – That Taco Shop is an American Taco-ria by Robert Dominguez which is a little bit different type of Mexican or Tex-Mex food that you’re used to. It’s meant to be a bit more bold, fresh, and most important healthy. That Taco Shop has people that work there whom are passionate about the food and their customers. Come try a taste and they’d love to hear your feedback here at That Taco Shop, where they want to achieve world taco domination!

I’ve truly given That Taco Shop a try and run for their money or tacos if you will, as I went there 3 times in one week. Yeah, I’m pretty crazy and I’ve found some great items on their menu that I really like. Although it’s a small place in the corner of a shopping center, they are large on flavor and service. So come on by and there’s plenty of parking for everyone.

I really like the FREE chips and salsa bar that they have. My favorite tacos or menu items are the bacon & egg tacos and of course the BBQ pork torta!!! Yeah, I know what you’re thinking a damn sandwich at a taco place? Yes and it is full of flavor, as it comes with pork carnitas flavored with their own tequila BBQ sauce and then topped with poblano peppers, onions, and their spice slaw. It is umm umm good!!! This is a recommended item by me, so be sure to let them know I sent you

Another dish I always have to try at any taco shop is their fish tacos. It pains me to report, but the time I went these tacos seemed a bit bland and without the contrasting flavors that you would normally have with the fish, slaw, and it all just tasted like the dressing. It was way too overwhelming and I’ve let them know about this and hope to give this dish another try.

Well, what more can I tell you, except to come and try the place for yourself. Overall this place is very affordable and you just can’t beat that.

Begins Valentine’s Day, February 14th and then it will end on March 13, 2010. The Arts Soup program to raise funds for San Antonio’s United arts and cultural Fund, was given its first trial run in 2006 at Schilo’s. Since then it has continued each year at different restaurants throughout San Antonio. Participating restaurants select from or create a soup that will be offered on their menus during Arts Soup. A portion of the Art Soup selection sales are then contributed to “theFund”. theFund redistributes donations to 27 qualified arts and cultural affilates located throughout San Antonio.

Simplehuman. Just like the name suggests, they make products easy for humans to go about their everyday life more efficiently. In the world today we’re bombarded with so much stuff that eventually we take it all back home with us. So I say clean up the clutter and use products that make use of the space you have, not only more practical but also more efficiently. Most people do know of Simplehuman with their great stainless steel trashcans, but they do have many other great items.

I do love the overall design, function, and quality that you get from Simplehuman. They also have a pretty darn good customer service as well. With that being said, I’m a huge fan and advocate of Simplehuman products; can’t wait to see what new things they will come up with in the future.

Simplehuman - Steel Frame Dishrack

Simplehuman – Steel Frame Dishrack
This is one of my favorite things from Simplehuman! We love this product and use it every single day. I love that this dishrack has so many cool little places to put everything. It also has a small drain tray below it so the excess water can run off. I can promise you that this dishrack looks great, functions wonderfully, and the value of it, is worth every single penny. Rather than going cheap and buying those typical plastic dish racks that may last you 6 months or so, this is here to last for years to come. The only thing I would like to seen enhanced upon a little is making the lip of the drain tray just a bit higher. Sometimes I look underneath it and some water has gotten on to my granite countertop. I highly recommend this product to all my friends and family.

Simplehuman - Sink Caddy

Simplehuman – Sink Caddy
The sink caddy is a pretty neat and compact product. It is designed to keep your sink area organized and easily accessible. It stays securely attached to your sink with the suction cups on the back and a small lip that goes on the top edge of your sink. Functionality wise it works great with your scrubber and sponges. However, for us with a standard size sink we felt the sink caddy was a bit in the way. For those of you that have large custom sinks in your house, this would probably work perfectly for you.

Simplehuman - Sink Mat

Simplehuman – Sink Mat
I’m still new and getting used to using the sink mat. It has a soft, rubber surface which is great when we have only a few dishes to wash, as we can use this like an in sink dish rack. This works be cause it is raised a little bit which drains the water and lets air circulate to dry the dishes. So far, I’ve gotta give this a thumbs up and there’s not much to this product. It just works.

Simplehuman - Sensor Soap Pump

Simplehuman – Sensor Soap Pump
This is a great product for the kitchen. I can’t tell you how many times when washing the dishes that I wished I didn’t have to stop what I was doing just to get more soap. Not only that, when you do then you get water on top of your dispenser and probably on your counter top. Then when you’re all done washing, you’ve gotta go back and wipe it all down to clean it. Eliminate that hassle and try a good quality soap pump. This product is great because both design and function works great. You can also pick a setting that is good for you to dispense different amounts of soap. So far, it’s working great, I think we’re going to buy the one that has the clear container to see the soap.

In My Opinion:
Lord’s Kitchen in San Antonio, TX – Lord’s Kitchen is a San Antonio institution and a must try burger joint at least one time. Our buddy Vid recommended us to go try this place for lunch. It’s a bit hard to find and out of the way from our office, but glad to have tried it. It’s your truly hole-in-the-wall type of place but it has a unique feel to it. As you enter Lord’s Kitchen it’s like a time capsule from the 1950’s and it’s got that rare Americana feel, which seems to be lost now-a-days to all the chain burger joints.

The drinks are served in Texas sized cups and that should have been a preview of things to come The burgers reminded me of a time growing up from a small mom & pop convenience store used to cook up. I got the 1/2 lb. cheeseburger and it was pretty big with a good helping of fries. The burgers was pretty good, I like how the meat had the right amount of crispyness yet still very tender and juicy within. Overall the food is a bit on the greasy side, and the fries was about average. Overall this place is very affordable and you just can’t beat that.

In My Opinion By JFraser:
The Bagel Factory in San Antonio, TX – Having moved from Long Island to San Antonio four years ago, one of the only things that I was missing was a REAL NY BAGEL (when I first moved here, I was told to forget about bagels and start eating breakfast tacos).  Well , no more compromises for me.  These bagels are steamed, not baked and considering the difference in water, they are just what I remember.  I found the Bagel Factory products to be fresh, tasty and crispsy/chewey exactly where they are supposed to be.  They also sell a variety of breakfasts and lunches, all of course, built around their bagels.  They aren’t at the point yet where they sell “nova” (lox) or white fish salad by weight (like a 1/4 pound) but hopefully they’ll get there.  In the meantime, the Bagel Factory has replaced all other pseudo-bagel providers around town. I hope that they stay in business (and also expand their menu).
