Taco Mama

Dinner at Taco Mama last night. 

Seasonal margaritas are available while the main ingredient is fresh. Right now, it's watermelon margaritas, with fresh watermelon chunks on the bottom. Sweet, summer-fresh tasting!



Of course, dinner does not just consist of drinks! I had a Chorizo Burrito, with a side of Mexican Street Corn. Hearty and robust flavors!


My wife got a combination taco plate- Alabama Redneck (pulled pork) and Sizzler  (sliced steak), with guacamole. Both good, but we especially liked the pulled pork.


Given the current inflationary environment, when everybody is looking for ways to cut costs, Taco Mama is a great place for good, casual, inexpensive food.

Return to White and Wood

 Been back to White and Wood a couple of times since wine dinner that impressed me so much. Most recent visit-


Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad


One of the best Salmon preparations I've had.

Seared crisp exterior. Note multiple vegetables, including green pea puree.

Friday Dinner at Zeto and The Undercurrent

Before COVID, my wife and I had a Friday night ritual. Most weekends, we would go to Zeto, taste a few wines (1 ounce portions from their automated machines on the back wall), then move next door to The Undercurrent for dinner. Zeto closed the machines for over a year, but they are back in operation now!
