I have been to Fusco's a couple of times and never left really excited.  It is okay, just nothing special for me.

My latest addiction is KEO on Brookside.  I guess you could call it Asian fusion.  Have loved everything I've tried...salads, appetizers and entrees.  I'm especially fond of their red curry dish, they make great vodka gimlets, and the Tom Ka soup is to die for!

I really like the Ahi Poke appetizer and the green thai curry dish.

Asian fusion was invented by cooks who can't cook real asian food.  it is gimmicky.  it is for people who have smug deficiencies in their diet.

you are a ****ing idiot.
she cooks all of her families recipes.
her family moved from cambodia to malaysia when she was a child... malay food is an amalgam of asian recipes and ingredients... go **** yourself your arrogant dude....

I think Michael Fusco's is great.   It's obviously pricey, so for us it's only for the occasional celebration or special occasion.

Please, everybody go to Hmong Cafe, which is in a shopping center at 31st and Garnett.  At this point, it's the best Southeast Asian food we've found to date in the city.  The ingredients are fresh, the portions are generous for the money, and they are willing to make things nice and hot for you if you ask.  

Also, the place is very clean and well kept, which means a lot to us.

I went to eat dinner here last night.  Excellent recommendation,  it was clean, we were very pleased.  I had the red curry ($7) and it was outstanding.  I might have to make a trip over to the east-side more often now.

Ouch!  That's going to leave a mark.

Has anyone tried the place that Halim and Mimi used to have?  I heard it was bought over by someone else (Lebanese?), and they're supposedly cooking the same type of foods.

Tried El Tequilas at 81st and Memorial.

Meh...

Just about like every other Mexican food place in this town.  I wish I could find one that could stand out.  It's almost like they use the same menus and rename the food dish.  Guess I'm a little jaded after living in Houston for three years.

Also wish I could find a real, hole in the wall Cajun restaurant.

Yeah, most Mexican food here tends to be a variation on El Chico.... maybe the owners are afraid to stray too far from the formula...

Luckily, I like that formula, so I enjoy Tulsa-tex-mex at La Mansion over by the Radisson at 169 and 41st, then discovered some place over by 46th? and Mingo in a tacky strip mall complete with a flower inside a Corona bottle on each table.... this decor works for me... [8D]

The (non-texmex) mexican food that reminds me of the mom-and-pop places I went to back in Chicago was..... Tacos San Pedro off 21st and 129th (Menudo on Saturdays?)..... they also have another one on 71st off Memorial....

May be worth a try.

***I see others have already commented on Hmong Cafe.... I'll second the motion.... do we have a quorum?  []

Rioberto's is real Mexican food.

11th and Garnett...open 24 hours.

Where have you been eating lately?  Anywhere new?

This one is not new, but is "new" to me.  We ate at "White River" today and it was amazingly good.  I was a bit wary seeing the sort of "diner" look, but we'll go back for sure.

Has anyone tried Rio Verde?  supposedly good Mexican food?

White river is great.  Rio Verde is also one of the best - cash only.

Rio Verde takes cards now.  Their posole on weekends is fantastic.
