Por Que No?




Yesterday we went to Por Que No Taqueria for a (very) casual dinner. There was a line out the door when we arrived at 6:30. Thankfully it moved fast and after ordering we found seats in the back on a funky patio with mismatched furniture, mirrors hanging from the wall and cut out picture banners draped across the area.

Por Que No is a taco bar. There are handmade tortillas with a choice of 9 fillings and some side dishes. We tried six different fillings. They were small. Really! We had chorizo, two different kinds of chicken, two different kinds of beef, and carnitas (pork). Everything tasted good and the chorizo, pollo asado and carnitas were delicious.

This is the kind of place we would go to often if we lived here – something we think about as we’re sitting in restaurants during this trip. Of course, we’d have to see what it was like in the winter when the only place to sit is inside to get out of the cold and rain… (restaurant review from Maxine)

After dinner, we went back to The Horse Brass Pub (http://horsebrass.com/) – Maxine is humoring me by doing this with me. I had Industrial IPA from Diamond Knot in Mikilteo, WA. Then Tricerahops Double IPA from Ninkasi Brewing in Eugene, Oregon. You might recall from my earlier post about this place that they have 56 beer taps and reprint their beer menu 3 times each week since they change the beers so often. (tom)
