This is my end all, be all favorite restaurant. Anytime I'm feeling really depressed or going through something in life, I immediately crave Mintt as my comfort food. I've had indian food before in the past, but OOOOOH BOY. When I tell you this is ha...
Mintt Indian Cuisine
This place absolutely BLEW ME AWAY the first time I went there. I wasn't expecting anything over the top, but boy was I wrong. As someone who worked at Chipotle for almost 6 years, I've become a bit blasé when it comes to tacos and burritos. This res...

I hope you're an early bird, because you're not going to want to miss out on this one! Amy's Bakery is without a doubt the most amazing asian bakery I have ever been to- so it is no surprise that her amazing pasteries and pies sell out quickly. There...

I promise you, you will never find another wing joint that has THIS many different flavors! The moment you try wings from here, you're going to want to try so many other flavors that they offer. Some of them are so unique, you'll be mind-blown that y...

Cali-Mex style food, that is super loaded and super savory! Definitely love this place, especially the brisket!

I have to be honest with you... I didn't actually get to go here in person. However, my partner brought me home some pasta from when he went out to dinner with his family and it truly blew me away. I absolutely LOVE Italian food, especially pasta, an...
