Fondue. Hot mulled wine. French fries. Caesar salad. Pulled pork sando. The best French Onion soup ever.
It was expensive, but super tasty. We went for a late lunch and were maybe the only people in the joint, so we got a lot of waiter attention.…More »

This place is dingy on the outside, hipster-chic on the inside: an allegory of the typical clientele. It's got great ambiance, the drinks are reasonable, and there's a pool table. Add some dancing and this could be a favorite-bar contender.

Forget those 4 stars I had before. I LOVE EL RIO.
This place is what you make it, and with the help of my rad friends, it's always awesome. Drinks are cheap, they've got games, music, and the best patio area ever.

Do not wear a short skirt to this bar.
That being said, this is the BEST DIVE BAR EVER. My buddies who live adjacent to it swore by it, and I was initially very skeptical because the type of person who hangs out here is the same type of person you…More »

Mari C. loves Marica.
BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE BEST $1 OYSTERS IN TOWN. Also, their $5 bowl of mussels in garlic butter is a must have.
Drink prices look like happy hour all the time! Honestly, my entree (seafood stew) was a little meh for the price,…More »
I never judge a book by its cover and always judge a Mexican joint by its chile rellenos.
The thing is, if you can forge that crisp, golden brown exterior with a molten cheese soul, you can do anything. And Tropisueno nails it for about $8, which is…More »
