I started my new job today on the west side... on West Commerce and Colorado.

Where's a good place to grab something quick to eat? I'm starving. Or later on something good for a longer lunch?

Anyone?

It's a little bit outta your way but El Tapio off Tezel and Guilbeau is the best Mexican Cuisine I've ever come across.

Gee, not sure. All I remember is that it's by that big restaurant Pico de Gallo. I think the cross street is Buena Vista.

Damn, you work in the ghetto.

I don't know how close these are to you but when I worked in the ghetto off W. Commerce and Callaghan we used to go to Asian Kitchen (decent Thai food) and Lily's Bakery (Filipino) off Marbach or we used to head down to all the chains off 151/410.

I went to one of these places on Blanco not long ago. It's a chain? What is it supposed to be? I totally expected it would be a "malt shop" kind of place, but it was a mishmash of different kinds of food----none of it very good. And I think it was a karaoke bar too!

So you didn't run into Potsie or Ralph there?

I get tired of fast food a lot sooner than I get tired of Lean Cuisines or a plain ham n' cheese.

I can understand that. Those places are a far cry from the "fast food" I was thinking of.

If you have an hour get onto durango and head over to King Willaim. Plenty of GREAT restaurants in that area.
