Solita Tacos & Margaritas in Valencia

What do you do with your free time? By “free time”, I don’t mean the 2 minutes you have when you walk out of the office and to your car. I mean free time. When I think of the question, my answers are: explorations with my friends, boxing classes, watching I Love Lucy marathons, and

Mercado in Santa Monica

I’ve always liked tacos–pretty much everyone does, especially around Cinco de Mayo. But I now like them even more thanks to the Downtown Santa Monica Taco Trek. Menu tastings at Border Grill and Copa d’ Oro offered great Mexican inspired dishes and drinks, and now I was at Mercado ready to see what their chef

Copa d’ Oro in Santa Monica

Along the trek for tacos, one of the stops was to Copa d’Oro. Unlike my visit to Border Grill where I filled up on tacos, the trek went to Copa specifically for drinks. That doesn’t mean they don’t have a food menu—they do—but they were giving us on the trek a peak into their signature

Border Grill in Santa Monica

Last week I announced that I would do a Cinco de Mayo series highlighting Mexican restaurants that either have exciting dishes or are staples in the LA area. The first was Guisados and after them, I was ready to try the next restaurant. Too bad things didn’t go as smoothly. Instead, work got a hold

Valentine’s Day Series: Riviera 31 at Sofitel Los Angeles in Beverly Hills

It’s that time of year. Various hues of pink are popping up everywhere and teddy bears with giant red hearts are propped against store aisles. Add to that, the scent of romance is slowly wafting into the air so you know it means Valentine’s Day is on its way. If you happen to be someone

Holiday Eats: The Kitchen in Silverlake

What do I love about the holidays? Let’s start with the songs everyone hates, decorations, and the occasional fight for the perfect gift with an old lady at a store. Those definitive seasonal pieces create an exciting winter holiday, but my favorite part is the food. Yes Christmas dinner with the family is great, but
