mexican fresh up in this piece..............

the mexican place that i was blogging about earlier is called mexican fresh. apparently its part of a franchise, so not quite as small as i thought, but its a killer spot non the less.

fajita up in this piece..................

so, ive been in jozi for about a month now, so far, im into it. it has a real buzz and energy, there is a certain pace to everything, i love that, it keeps me on my toes, it doesnt allow my laziness to kick in. im out and about quite a lot up here and im already developing some favourite spots. tonight, for instance, im going out for mexican food, ive been to the spot about 5 times in 5 weeks now, i love it, cant get enough of their chicken fajita burrito. the name for some reason is eluding me, but ill post it up later for your viewing pleasure. what i really love about this mexican joint is its simplicity, it has about 6 tables and is in no way pretentious, it doesnt take itself too seriously, which is always refreshing, especialy up here in jozi.

anyway, thats all for now, il get that name posted up, so while you are all eating dinner this evening, just know that i be enjoying mine way more than you are enjoying yours.true story.

adios amigos

my friday @ the turn and tender...

i have decided that from time to time, i will review and pass judgement on places that offer food in exchange for my ill gotten money.here goes.....

so amigos and amigas, its friday night, im in jozi and im looking for some good eating. long story short, i found what i was after at the turn and tender in illovo (sandton adjacent). so its a meat joint, a place you go to satisfy your blood lust. i got a piece of prime rib, it was muy bueno (very good, for those of you who dont 'habla espanyol'), well basted, cooked well, with some  awesome onion rings and fries (ahh yeahh). i am not so easily won over when it comes to steak (and cocktails now that i think of it) but this joint was the freakin truth, it had a kind of new york vibe, which i never object to. i needed protien, to smear my face with some blood so to speak, it was most satisfying. i am now full, my belly is happy with its cow and potato filling, its almost purring.

sorry if this ounds graphic, but thats me, i like words.
