Thai Garden is located on the corner of Wellman and Andrew Jackson in Five Points. This has been one of my favorite spots for years. They offer a variety of authentic Thai dishes. I had the Pad Thai with vegetables medium spicy. I'm not brave enough to try the native Thai spicy! I will admit that the aroma is both yummy and a little gym sock at that same time.. which equals delicious. I also recommend the Tom Yum Pak soup. It's loaded with veggies and has a lemon and fish sauce tang to it. They have everything from rice dishes, noodle dishes and curry dishes. Give Thai Garden a try for dependable delicious food.
Seems I'm on a Mexican kick! Chipotle Mexican Grill is located next to Earth Fare on University Drive. The decor is simple and the music is hip. I have heard great things about Chipotle from several friends and was very excited when one opened here recently. They use sustainable sourced ingredients and all their meat has no added hormones or antibiotics. It's the way food should be produced and prepared. I must say that I was very disappointed with our visit. The service was less than stellar with trash bins overflowing with messy tables and beverage area. The folks behind the counter were more involved with their own conversations and being snarky with one another. They just opened so they were very busy but so are a lot of places. I had a braised carnitas burrito bowl and Hubby had the barbacoa burrito. All I can say was that it wasn't the worst food I've ever had. The meat lacked flavor and the rice had several bits of uncooked pieces. We left a little sad and cravin...
