Recent Trips, Various locations

I haven't been anywhere new recently but I've been to several places in the last couple of weeks. Here they are. Since I've already been and posted about these, I won't be dedicating a new page to each one.

Milano's Southaven, MS - I tried the salad for a change. It was really good!

El Mercadito, Memphis - I've been several times in the last week.

 

La Llamarada - Steak and a Chicken wing

 

Taco Felix, Hernando, MS - Sopa

The Cupboard, Memphis, TN - Chicken fried chicken

O'Charley's, Southaven, MS - Chicken tender nachos

El Mercadito is a authentic Mexican restaurant on Ridgeway Road a little south of Winchester Road. Only one employee I've seen to far speaks any English. I ate there a few days ago because I heard they have lamb tacos that are great but it turns out they only have them on the weekends.

I went back yesterday and got the tacos, and yep, they were great! I highly recommend them.

The first trip I got a quesadilla which was very good and this time I got the lamb tacos.

The total for the quesadilla was about $27 but that included two canned drinks and a large queso. The total for the lamb tacos was about $34 but that included two bottled Cokes, a canned Diet Coke, and a large queso.

Nonna Maria, Barlett, TN

Nonna Maria is an Italian cafe in Bartlett on Memphis-Arlington Road just south of St. Elmo Road. I went there for lunch last week based on several recommendations.

They are similar to Milano's, and in fact, the waiter told me the pizza was the same and they have a Milano's sign inside the restaurant.

I thought the food was really good. I ordered a chicken Parmesan sandwich and a slice of pizza and my friend ordered a calzone or something similar.

The total was almost $40 with tip but it was reasonable for what all we got. I would definitely recommend giving them a try.

 

Other trips that week:

Castle Restaurant, Memphis, TN - Gyro and fries, and a piece of chocolate cake

Slim and Husky's Pizza, Memphis, TN

Slim and Husky's is a pizza joint on Union Avenue just west of Marshall Avenue. I went there last Monday after I tried to go to another place in midtown only that wound up being closed on Mondays. I saw it randomly and went it and got a pizza.

They do pizza like Subway does sandwiches. You tell them what kind of dough, then pick your ingredients, then they cook it and and give it to you.

It was really good. I got beef and shrimp with a several different types toppings. It doesn't take long for it to cook.

My total was about $18 with a drink but I got three kinds of meat. If you get one meat it's a lot cheaper. The service was great also.

I will definitely be back!

 

Las Delicias, Memphis, TN

Las Delicias

Las Delicias is a small Mexican restaurant with two locations, one on Quince which I've never been to and the original location which is in the shopping center at the corner of Park Avenue and Getwell Road on the south side. I've been there several times and thought I had posted about them before but apparently I haven't.

The food is really good and they are relatively inexpensive. I don't remember how much my total was but you can easily get a full meal for around $10 (even though of course, you can spend more than that).

I went there about three weeks ago for lunch. I ordered a chicken quesadilla which is only $7 or $8 but I got a queso and drink and I think my total was around $16 or $18.

I highly recommend them.
