Taqueria Del Sol Parte Dos

Because my opinions are more important than Jordan's or Haley's (but mainly because I couldn't figure out how to add on to the bit they already posted) I'm doing a new entry on my impressions of our first outing (before that we were in the closet).

Taqueria del Sol was pretty cool. I'd never been there before, and I was sort of hesitant about tacos with fried chicken (which seemed like blasphemy to both the chicken and the taco), beef brisket (which sounds vaguely threatening), and some odd sort of chipotle lime sauce (which just wounds crazy).

Still, Haley is very enthusiastic about making me try things that I'm not good at (like talking to people). So we split the fried chicken taco, the beef brisket taco, and a cheese enchilada/burrito (I can never remember which is which).

And they were good. Especially the chicken. Which was so good that I got up and got two more, and they were delicious. I dream about them at night. I'm making myself very hungry by writing this post, and considering I have no groceries in my apartment and will have to content myself with the food in the university center, you should all be incredibly greatful.

I would definitely recommend Taqueria del Sol. ¡Muy delicioso!

Then we went to Octane Coffee. I don't particulary enjoy coffee (I'm a social drinker), so I got the mocha, and then proceded to "ruin it" in some people's opinions, by adding more sugar. It was pretty good, but I prefer frappucino's (I have obviously been completely ruined by the ever-invasive autocracy of Starbucks). Still, it was decent.

Here's the huge downside to Octane Coffee: HIPSTERS.

Lots and lots of hipsters, each one with their laptop and coffe and taking great efforts to avoid eye contact, unless it is ironic. It's unnaturally quite at Octane. Too quiet. The kind of quiet that means stormtroopers are about to start firing at you. But, if you can brave the hipster crowd (which is arguably worse than your generic Starbucks poser crowd) than you can get some pretty decent coffee (even if it needs more cream and sugar.

Stay tuned for Kari's opinions of wherever we head next!
