Villa's is very good, wife and I eat there a lot. Their tacos campechanos are about as good as it gets.
My stepson’s aunt and uncle owns it, and my son has worked for them. Good people.
Choosing CR's top restaurant is like choosing which prisoner you want to 'make friends with' first.
Maybe they think BBop’s fries taste better? Just because something is fancy and expensive doesn’t make it better.
While agree, it doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive to be good. If you don’t think potatoes fried in duck fat is better than fried in soybean oil, I question your taste buds.

If you can't find great food in CR/Marion you might want to get off of Collins Road. We must be neighbors McLovin as I can also walk across the street to Mas Margaritas/ Tings / Kingston. The Patio Bar at Kingston is one of my favorite Hangouts.

Imma get all sorts of shit for this, but Hacienda on Center Point Rd. is my favorite Mexican restaurant around.
Anybody putting Zio Johno's ahead of Biaggi's is insane. Zio's lasagna sucks ass compared to Leonardo's both in price and quality, and they aren't even on the list.
1. I never said it was. But everybody has different tastes. What you think tastes good may make someone else gag. Doesn’t make you “right” (doesn’t make the other person right either).
2. Although I live in Johnston, I’ve never been to Django, so I have no idea if their duck fat fries are good or not.
Niiiiiiice. I actually haven’t been to Kingston yet. It’s in my list of places to go soon.
Also, good call on Crab Attack. I absolutely love that place.
It made me sad when django closed then moved. It is outside of our routine of places we go now but we did love it. Need to get back there. You should try it.
Their fried paneer and their chicken saag gave me a food boner tonight. Where do I go to bow to your ancestors for such cuisine, @GOHOX69?
Place is legit. Haven’t had anything there less than good… great spot for sure.
Haha my ancestors actually are sailor people from Portugal who created things like vindaloo. You're looking for Punjab, which is in Northwest India.
What?! I always thought you were an in-lander. Your Indian food recommendations are useless to me now.
Hah. I'm water people yo. We know fried things and fish things. Bombay and Goa are on the sea not in some wheat plains.
FYI, you guys would love Goan food. The only state where to can eat beef, get trashed and dance with Russian hookers to techno.

I love Goa. Went there for a long weekend from Bangalore a few years ago. The first day when the fella brought tea to my seaside (canalside?) door freaked me out, but loved it after. But yes, god damn Russians everywhere. Worst part about it, except for their wives always dressed like strippers.
And Bombay? That’s what it was called the last time I was there! It’s been a while.
It's always Bombay to me
I'm glad you had fun. The sanitary state of restaurants in India have come way way up. That's what I'm most critical about. If you ever head back, happy to provide you with recommendations.
They have a type of traditional goan curry at Delhicacy. My dumbass thought it was a typo for “goat” until I saw the meat options listed right under it.
EDIT: It’s the Vindaloo Curry. I’ve actually had that. Good stuff.
It's always Bombay to me
After the first time I went…I agreed that I.N.D.I.A. Stands for I’ll Never Do It Again.
But I’ve been back numerous times. Honestly, I’d love to go back more but I stand out in India like @GOHOX69 at a Dublin red heads only St Pattie’s Day party. If I could blend in and not be seen, I’d love to just watch India go by. Unfortunately, it’s not possible…
Really? Plenty of whites there these days. I mean plenty. Colaba in Bombay is pretty much white people.After the first time I went…I agreed that I.N.D.I.A. Stands for I’ll Never Do It Again.

And it's full of crystal-worshipping, hairy-legged white broads.
Most of my time was spent there in the 90’s. Very tough time. But so was all of Asia - the crisis was in full affect. I spent a ton of time in Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand as well and it was brutal. I’m sure it’s better now.
