Dinner at Chronic Tacos

Dinner at the new Chronic Tacos, on the west side of Myrtle at the east end of the Vons shopping area. It is organized very much like Chipotle - build your own tacos. I got the 2 Taco Plate for $8.95. It was very good!

I also got a beer (it’s “selfTAP,” aka self serve). To get the beer you have to get a “beer card,” which has a $2 activation fee, then you put money on the card (I put $8 on it) then you tap the card at the tap and pour your beer. I took the card to the cashier and asked what was left on it. I’ve got $3.11 left, and can reload the card if I want, so it either cost $4.89, or $6.89 if you count the activation fee. Okay, that’s different.

Dinner at The Diplomat

Dinner at The Diplomat, on the north side of Lemon a few feet east of Myrtle. I’m usually a carnivore but decided to give the falafel ($12) a try along with a German beer ($8). The falafel - patties of bean paste deep fried - was tasty and filling. The humus and garlic paste gave it a nice tang.
