Santa Rita Cantina located on 38th near Central Market was surprisingly decent.
Her:
Yeah, lots of combination platters which was great since I wanted to try everything. My chicken taco was awesome but the enchiladas verdes were too tart like the margarita.
Him:
True, I still can't believe you dumped two splendas in your marg. I liked the veggie combo with spinach and mushroom enchiladas. The small queso that came with the combo was a nice touch.
Her:
Agreed, overall solid north campus Tex-Mex stand-in when you don't want to wait at Trudy's.

Better for dinner than their sibling restaurant, Blue Star Cafeteria, which I had high hopes for, since their brunch is tops. I love their open face egg sandwich.
Her:
Dinner was disappointing. I had the special which was mahi mahi with goat cheese couscous. Sounded 'special' but wasn't, especially for $21.
Him:
My panko-crusted cod was perfectly crunchy on the outside and light and flaky on the inside. They lost points though since they dumped the fries over the glazed carrots which made them soggy.
Her:
Now we know, Blue Star for brunch, Santa Rita for dinner and 34th Street Cafe, their other restaurant, for lunch. We'll leave that review for another day.
