The Year in Food 2006

From bad spinach to exploding lattes: The tastiest moments of 2006.

OAXACA opened this past week in the former Homemade space next door to Andie Woo on Smith St. We got take out last night. Its a tiny space with a bench and some counter space. We ordered the 3 taco combo and the 3 enchilada...

Mexican newcomers in a neighborhood that needs them.

Excellent varied menu. Accomodating and attentive staff, relaxed atmosphere. The Grocery is in my opinion the best restaurant on Smith Street.

I know that some folks feel that Saul’s is one of the best, if not THE best restaurant on Smith St. I hadnt been there for 3 years, having not been impressed with the place (especially its' prices) in the past. Well, it was...

What a bummer. I didn’t think it was more expensive than other places in Smith St., like Cafe Lulac, which is fine as a neighborhood place but not much more. I just got back from Vancouver, with its surfeit of high-quality...
