So, I introduce to you IndiJoe – this is a “tex-mex” style restaurant, which also serves other styles of cuisine. We ate there a couple of weeks ago, and let me tell you up front – the conclusion is that we will definitely go back to it. But, here’s a little more detail about our experience:

While I try to post reviews about restaurants that I visit, there is no way I can cover them all on this site. And till now I have not found too many great options available on the Internet as well. That now changes. A friend of mine pointed me to Foodie Bay.
