I dream about and have serious cravings for the Al Pastor burrito at the food counter in the market on the corner of Hammond & Summit in Pasadena. I always add the nopales when he has it. Also, I get the red sauce (extra red...

have posted seem to have had at least some dishes in common, I’d be happy to hear any rec’s for inspired (and hopefully not obscenely priced) wine pairings that you enjoyed for specific dishes. Thanks.

a call, fully comped dinner from the owner. Yes jfood went back, food still not worth the zero price. Jfood never giving up a table for the bar again unless it is absolutely his fault (and not a sick dog).
