In reply to Roni.

I have been to Paso del Norte. I thought it was ok. But if it’s nice out I’ll sit outside at Bordertown every time.

OMG that’s hilarious! Do you not realize that you sound more “elitist” (*cough* Karen) than the reviewer?
The fact that they refused to serve thr beans à la carte is 100% unacceptable to begin with. You don’t say no to a customer when it is doable! I once had to make a dessert plate of chocolate torte with a Parmesan cheese – in a very famous 4★ restaurant I’m Toronto. Did ut make me roll my eyes? Yes, of course! Did I refuse? No, of course not, because the customer is king/queen!
On top of that, I would have sent the first beans BACK! Watery beans? And the “warning” from the server about them? No bueno.

Comment on Piva by Roni

I agree with your assessment of Piva 100%.
I used to live down the street and my group used to go there for lunch during weekend workshops or pre-meetibg dinners. As a former chef in several 4★& 4◆ establishments – and as someone who has been to Italy, let me say I was very underwhelmed. Service is friendly but big whoop – that’s east. Small, overpriced portions; a serious lack of choice on the menu and quite noisy – also, it takes FOREVER to get your food.
This one hits the “never again” category, like The Hub.

I have never had a good experience at The Hub and I used to live e in NW. A group I belong to used to hold mo they dinners there and I would always eat before I left home, so I could always order an appy and be done with it. Their service is always abysmal; their prices are way too high for what they offer; it’s noisy and frankly, the food is mediocre, at BEST. Never again.

Have you ever tried Paso del Norte in Blaine? Very friendly, very reasonable prices; good portions and very consistant.

They serve a complimentary basket of homemade Tortilla chips, with homemade mexi-coleslaw (yum) and homemade salsa.

Their tacos and enchiladas and fajitas are all good. It’s not gourmet, but it’s “schmecky.”

I have yet to try Bordertown Mexican Grill in Blaine – it gets slightly higher ratings.

Heya Greg! First time reader! Local here in van and seeking out awesome food too! 😉

I noticed here, your cross link to the Grey olive post you made is missing the “S” in Gregs in the web address, so it goes to a dead link.

Just thought i would let ya know!

Great content, and looking forward to reading all of these reviews. (already planning to hit the happy Lamb hotpot because ive been to two other locations that looked very different from your experience!)
