where at?
4/14/2009 12:39:34 PM
I never remember the name. Cuervo Lobos maybe? It's the mexican place in the Avent Ferry Shopping Center by Subway. The bar in the back is pretty straight.
4/14/2009 12:41:21 PM
that place is fuckin' awesome... some friends took me there for my 24th, and all i remember after dinner and a few margaritas is waking up under my desk in my office in a new kids on the block sleeping bag, then finding a receipt for a copy of darren's dance grooves.

I'm contemplating going over there for the taco eating contest, but I don't think I can beat the current leader.It's Cueva de Lobos, by the way. Basically Wolf's Cave in Mexican.

When is said taco eating contest? I had no idea they had $1 tacos today! My friend's wife Shauna works there.[Edited on April 14, 2009 at 7:31 PM. Reason : ]

As I understand it you can come in any time after 5 on tuesdays for 99 cent tacos and to qualify for the contest. I'm not sure how many qualifier rounds are left before the main event.Only soft tacos in the contest. They think that people rapidly wolfing down crunchy food might be a liability.[Edited on April 14, 2009 at 7:32 PM. Reason : ]

So I can go get soft tacos for $1 right now? w00t! I mean I could go to Taco Bell, but I expect more out of CdL.
4/14/2009 7:34:09 PM
You can get hard tacos for a dollar, too, I think, you just can't use them for the contest.

4/14/2009 7:34:58 PM
this is apparently the "hot taco" of the month
4/14/2009 7:35:19 PM
I didn't think the sopes were any worse than they are anywhere else, but I haven't tried the gorditas. For the most part it seems like standard Mexican food for this area.
4/14/2009 7:39:42 PM
dang... $1 tacos and 99 cent hotdogs all in one day!?
4/14/2009 8:14:53 PM
^who has 99 cent hotdogs?
4/14/2009 8:38:51 PM
i'm guessing Snoopy's
4/14/2009 8:46:01 PM
well, for $1 tacos, you can't expect them to be gourmet quality, served in a platinum taco holder by juan fucking valdez.
4/14/2009 9:07:08 PM
juan fucking valdez serves good coffee for $1 why can't we get good tacos for $1
4/14/2009 10:02:59 PM
quality for price considered I think they are very good. I have never been to a mexican restaurant though that was really head and shoulders above the rest. Same with Oriental. P.F. Changs is good but not that much better than every other generic place.
4/15/2009 6:14:24 PM
Dos Taquitos is head and shoulders above the rest. That said, Cueva is great. It's a really chill place with good staff and the owners are cool as hell. The food is good and the alcohol is cheap...it's becoming my watering hole. I'll probably be there tonight around 8 for food and trivia
4/15/2009 6:20:20 PM
just out of curiosity, does anyone know how many tacos the winners average at those contests? if you don't win, do you pay for what you ate? if you do win, do you pay for what you ate? I feel I could pack down a ton if I ever entered an eating contest, especially tacos, when I was 300lbs, I'd do a 10 taco meal from Taco Bell within 30min, also used to eat whole DamnitsI'm now under 200lbs but can still pack down a ton, the other day I did the whole dominos 5-5-5 deal in an hour....my PR
4/15/2009 9:07:43 PM
there is one more tuesday before the actual contest, which is on the 25th iirc, where they pit the 6 with the highest numbers from the qualifying rounds. i forgot to look when i stopped by last night but i think the highest was 18
4/15/2009 9:12:31 PM
unlimited time? I'd love to strategically align my "cheat meals" with a contest like this, I'd have a blastI went from 185lbs on a friday, binged all weekend, was 206lbs on monday gotta love bloating, it's amazing how much you can lose when you're virtually sodium free for 3 weeks then eat hordes of enchiladas & fajitas with your friends
4/15/2009 9:17:30 PM
21lbs??? that's insanebut i think it's 30 minutes, though I'm not positive.
4/15/2009 9:25:57 PM
Yeah, according to the poster they have on the wall, the top two are tied with 17. 2 with 16 and 2 with 14.
4/15/2009 9:46:32 PM
4/15/2009 10:52:46 PM
ha oh yeah i used to go there back in the day. used to walk up in that bitch like i owned it. sat in the back and cool shit like that,
4/15/2009 10:59:25 PM
Hooray for taco day!
5/19/2009 4:34:04 PM
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ probably the most delicious item on the menu...anyone agree?
5/19/2009 4:35:04 PM
food went to shit when they changed owners.
5/19/2009 4:52:04 PM
5/26/2009 4:40:52 PM
little most of you know but there actual good mexican places in the triangle. you know places where most of the people who go there speak spanish.[Edited on May 26, 2009 at 4:49 PM. Reason : dos taquitos is mentioned i see, but that's a different (and more expensive) thing entirely]
