Westie Dinner This Thursday (November 13, 2008): Taco Cabana, Beach and 121

[cdc]

Unfortunately it's not the location that's the problem; I'm going to Austin tomorrow and won't be back until Wednesday night 

Hope you have a good trip to Austin.  We'll catch you later then.

Ok, some alternatives...

Mellow Mushroom on University Dr. south of TCU, this is a '60's style hippie type pizza joint south of the TCU campus. The pizza is really good, they have pitchers of beer and flat screens. Weather permiting there is a great patio with a fireplace if I'm not wrong that would hold the bunch.

Ocean Rock (on the same circle as MM). Is a coastal style fresh fish restaurant located just west of MM. A really eclectic menu with different entries of creative pescado dishes. Fresh is the key here. Flown in daily. Key is also their lime pie extrordinaire. Great beer selection too.

And one last standard that has been around FW when MY mom and dad were dating is The Itallian Inn just off Camp Bowie Blvd. You walk downstairs like you're in some tiny hole-in-wall restaurant. Salad bar, singing waiters and waitresses. This is a specially romantic place for couples since you can request a "booth" which are behind wooden doors that shut when the staff is not at your table. There is so much graffiti (encouraged) on the inside that you can't read it. Some that you can read date back...way back...further back. You can have lots of fun on the house caraffes too.

There's my two cents,

Damn dude - all of those sound awesome - lets hit them all one Thursday at a time!  I'm in!

[Slag]

  We will be otherwise occupied

Don't worry.  We'll take pictures, and can bring you left-overs. 

It's the next best thing to being there!

I would like to accompany Dosgatos for a $2 FasTaco.  Why do we always have to eat at eclectic food joints?  (I'm just bi*chen because I'm a picky eater who gets aggravated at dropping 60 bucks for a meal that only Bonnie enjoys) I'd rather ride to Eurosport and buy a new shirt or something cool for my bikes with the money I saved (they close at 8 on Thursdays) and then enjoy some frozen margaritas on the patio at Taco Cabana.  That's my $0.02 But, I know this will never happen, so, fish tacos it is.

Hmm, there just happens to be a Taco Cabana right near Euro Sport on Beach and 121. 

Since tacos seem to get the vote, this location is fairly in the middle of the Westies, and it has a patio, I'll call it. See you all there at 6:30P. 

Taco Cabana:
801 N Beach St, Fort Worth, TX
(817) 665-8780

ok so I wasn't in the best mood - finding out I had to drive to Richardson to cover for a sick tech BUT TC that's funny  thanks -  better get to work
Have a great day 

[pipeliner1978]

wow....I'm gonna have to start pregnant doging more often 

I know Bonnie......I know.  (I already do.....)

[RED]

Hey, I have to consider T's statement as one of my own convictions too. Agreed with every word! And the Cabana does have Margs.

It's also 3 miles from my house so afterwards everyone who wants to can come over and check out the paddock area! I also go by Eurosport on Thursdays and for the 'bike night' (I think it's the first or second Thursday each month) but hardly see anyone over there when I'm there. Both places are literally 5 minutes from my house.

It's quite possible that I may have more margs afterwards too! We can sit around the chiminea and get toasty.

[TresGatos]

Thanks Samsonite for chiming in, I totally agree with the $ logic - I can always cook my own fine food as in last night's filet minons with olive oil/butter and whole garlic sauce, fresh asparagus, shaved parmeseana regiano, and a good pinot noir .

Never been to Eurosport so I like that too. 

Taco Cabana makes some good chicken soft tacos for about $2.

[pipeliner1978]

and they have beer, margaritas and open patio's......its about the bikes and the people, not the food right?

Unless we're trying to upstage the Sonic go'ers.......but that's what Taco Cabana does 

[TresGatos]

And on the patio could slip in our own beers on the sly.

Free lemonade too (comp water, lemon from the salsa bar, and sugar or sweetener).

I can get out of there for $4 at lunch.

[pipeliner1978]

if someone brings the hot damn, I'll bring the scooters
