I went to Holy Taco last night with some friends and it was my third visit to this location so I figured it was time to start reviewing this place already. For atmosphere, cool look, and a great padio they get a 5 without a question. If you don’t have taste buds and want somewhere awesome to go then this is your destination without hesitation.

Moving onto the non ascetics the chips are my favorite thing to eat here by far, they are amazing and fried and just good. Wow! The few food items I have sampled are not terrific and the portions of almost everything here seem to be a little small. Keep in mind that the food is very cheap (price wise) here and I have to say it wins my vote for bargain Mexican food any day of the week. The only time I would pick Taco Cabana over Holy Taco is Holy Taco eventually closes at night and Cabana is 24 hours.

I was on my way to the grocery store yesterday afternoon and spotted this right by my house on Piedmont. Nice ride, I think he should of went with all black on the wheels though and it would of made this car a huge +1.

So we picked up a new advertiser in Disc Brakes Australia for Issue 6 of Wrecked Magazine and Yoni called on me to shoot the photography for the spread featuring their sponsored driver Tony Angelo from the Drift Alliance. We actually shot the photo in the pre grid section of Evergreen Speedway right before qualifying at the Formula D Seattle event. The photo was created with my Canon 30D hand held with a Speedlite 580EX remotely fired on a stand next to me. The sky and some other elements really helped this piece come together.

Yoni then took that photograph along with a shot of Tony Angelo ripping it off the bank at Seattle and put some great design behind the ad to make it flow very well! If you want to see the ad in the magazine click here.

If your on Yelp make sure you add me: My Yelp Account. I ventured out to a new place in midtown called Ricebox right by the MAC theater. Here is my review that I posted on Yelp.

I think a few people have been a tad rough on the review they gave Rice Box but by all means this place doesn’t win 5 stars. Walking into the place is a tad strange feel (not very take out Chinese style, which is a good thing) but the place is incomplete or almost under construction. One wall is all ripped up like something was missing and half the lights on the back booth wall were out. The last issue before we get into the food is they don’t have a menu posted up on the wall which yet to makes no sense. You kinda walk up and prey you can figure out what your ordering quickly before you feel dumb. I failed at this but threw a friend under the bus to order first while I spied at a take out menu.

The food was decent but very underwhelming. For under $4 I was able to score a huge blow of fried rice and eggs which blew me away and filled me up but I was a tad upset that it had just that…..eggs and rice. No carrots or the other typical items that are mixed in with fried rice but what can you do? I tried a friends beef lo mein which was pretty yummy of the dishes I sampled from friends. Tons of noodles and not so much beef so be forewarned. The orange chicken is blah, hands down. Enter at your own risk but keep in mind it’s a great place to score some cheap Chinese food in Midtown.

I have had my Infiniti G37S for a little bit now but I haven’t gotten around to posting it up on the blog yet. The Infiniti G37 is pretty much on par with my old G35 with a ton of added neat features. The auto-tilt headlights and iPod headunit are two of my favorite features on the S. The car’s powerband is a tad different and although this car has slightly more power I have to say I enjoyed the way the G35 drove with it’s power curve just a tad more. All in all the car is amazing and the color is PERFECT! I will try and give the car a six month review when it comes around.
