Taco Wagons - Grindage to Go

Walla Walla is full of those great smelling portable kitchens we all call the Taco Wagons, and each of them have their own style of food, the ones I prefer are the Tacos La monarca located on rose and 11th street right across from the kubota dealer or in eastgate area in the NAPA Auto parts parking lot. one of my favorites to get is the burrito called the Walla Walla, it is full of grilled onions and lots of meat. were talking a meal here so bring your appetite and you wont need a whole lot of cash either.. but bring cash because these taco wagons are a cash business - no cards,

until next time, asta la vista

T. Maccarone’s Atsa whatta Im a Talkin About!

OK, now this place puts the flavor back into food.. Italian Food that is!
I went there last night for a small gathering and some dinner, and I will tell you, this place has class. their Italian food just kicked ass, from the cheese and meat trays, grilled asparagus (oh my god!) down to the quality napkins they provided. They have a nice elevated bar you can sit at and have just about any quality drink you can think of. You are waited on hand and foot with some of the most professional attitude staff you will find. The prices were not out of this earth, my plate was approx $20.00 and I had one of the best “pork Chops” (thats what I call them), some Raviolis stuffed with sweet potatoes and washed it down with 2 bottles of "sparkling white wine"for dinner. the food is worth every penny and its about time Walla Walla goes down and get some great food, plenty of seating inside and it is right down town Walla Walla.
4 south Colville street to be exact, I would call for reservations @509-522-4776

Business hours are: Tuesday – Saturday Lunch 11am – 2pm and Dinner 5pm-9pm

The Green Lantern Rocks!

If you don't know, the only place in Walla Walla that has a Great Selection of Micro Beers from the Pacific Northwest worth drinking, the Best Fish tacos, and Fish n Chips is the Green Lantern.
College is Back in session and it shows, I was at "The Green" last Friday night and it was a beautiful site, standing room only and the outside beer garden area was full of party spirit. This place not only serves beer and tacos, they have a full menu that includes some killer hamburgers and mixed drinks. They have televisions all about the place, pool tables and a place to throw darts. Walking distance from any Whitman College Frat House or Dorm.
My favorite night is " Micro Tuesday" special prices on pints and all the peanuts you can stand, don't worry about the shells just toss them on the floor!. They are located at 1606 E. Isaacs Ave right on the main drag. When you go, make sure you have your ID because there are no exceptions to the rule.. Nobody under 21 yrs old.
tell "Al" Hi from Jody.. And have him make you a fish taco with a strip of bacon in it, it is the Bomb !
you guys rock!
tnx again, Jody - webmaster@wallawalla.com

Holy Moly Mr. Ed's - Now Thats a Burger !

Today’s report came a bit of a surprise to me, I was called in to do some computer work by a friend of mine who is part owner of a family oriented restaurant known here in Walla Walla as Mr. Eds, this is a dying breed style of a place that back in the day you would see cars lined up outside with waitresses on roller skates, rock n roll music, hot rods, serving trays in the car windows and maybe Elvis Presley hanging out.
This old A&W style resturant has been around for some time and has been serving up quite the food for many.
As I was down stairs working on a computer, the Owners asked me if I wanted a Hamburger and handed me a menu, Im talking a burger that is cheaper than any corking fee at these new “fancy” restaurants that have been popping up. I ordered a cheese burger and told them to drag it through the garden. Expecting your basic cheese burger with lettuce and tomato I was quite blown away when I was handed a plate with a burger that was bigger around than an old 45 record and enough steak fries to build a fence out of. This thing was the bomb, I actually had to have them bring me a knife, fork, 3 large Pepsi's and a Chef's apron to tackle it. These guys take pride in their service and quality of food, they told me that they get a kick out of looking at the peoples faces when they hand them this specialty Burger, you could easily split this with someone. There is plenty on the menu for everybody with breakfasts and steak dinners. It has booth seating inside and has that real diner feel to it. They are located at 2555 E Isaacs Ave in Walla Tel: (509) 525-8440.

Until next time, bop shoo bop

Great Food, Prices, & Local Wine

Ok, this review is on a place that is perfect for great Deli sandwiches and fast service, with the best wine selection in the valley and it is the Walla Walla Wine Depot.
The Wine Depot to us locals is the old Greyhound station on N. 2nd Ave, this place has an excellent location especially if you are staying at any of the motels off N. 2nd, because they are right across the street.
Since it's day as the Greyhound station, it has taken on a major overhaul and converted to a convenience store with a little more. There is quite a selection of Walla Walla Wines available at Winery prices, Sodas, Espresso, Beer, and Panini sandwiches made fresh. The people are very friendly and can help you with plenty of local knowledge on the wines. They offer mixed cases at case discount pricing. If you are stopping by Walla Walla and need to pick up the wines you want, but don't have the time to find or visit the Wineries, this is a no brainer, because they have what you need, even fuel pumps. look for the Harley Davidson Flag. Until next time - Salute'
