Dilly’s Deli - Tempe AZ

March 8, 2018 

 

  

This was our first day in the Phoenix area and we happened to be in Tempe right next to the ASU campus and I remembered reading about a place called Dilly’s deli so that's where we decided to stop for lunch and with all the dilly dilly's going around how could we not stop. So we went in and went up to the counter I ordered the smoky mountain sandwich and picked ciabatta bread ($8.59).   

 

Mom got the dilly bird ($7.59) 

and dad got the Ruben ($8.59) they both had there's on dark rye bread. 

 

My sandwich was a rather large sandwich for me and I probably should've got the half size. I thought the sandwich was pretty good. I liked the smoked Gouda, turkey, bacon and the red onions, but what I didn’t like about this was the Russian mustard on it I thought it was okay for a while, but I eventually became pretty tired of it. I enjoyed Dilly’s deli except for the mustard but liked all the choices you had with different sandwiches and wouldn’t mind coming back and trying some of their other sandwiches. Dilly Dilly.

Blue Bonnet Café - Denver Colorado

January 13, 2018 

For my birthday we decided to meet the rest of family in Denver and I picked the Blue Bonnet Café for lunch.  When we arrived we were pointed to the table for our group and chips and salsa was out and ready. This was very good salsa and pretty much like the salsa at one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Phoenix (Tortas Chano) along with very good chips. I pretty much ate a whole bowl by myself.  When it was time to order I ordered the build your own combo with a chili relleno and cheese enchilada and a ground beef Burrito.   

 

 

Everyone else ordered various other things like chili rellenos, chimichangas which they don't fry and Carnitas among other things. Then we had some more time to talk and eat more chips and salsa. 

 

But soon enough the food arrived and I thought the enchilada and chili relleno both were very good, but I kind a wish I would've gotten some kind of meat in the enchilada. These were both good but my favorite part was the Burrito. The ground beef is pretty good inside but chicken or shredded beef would've made it even better. This burrito was smothered with green chili that had pieces of delicious pork that just fell apart. Along with these items was good rice and beans.  I very much enjoyed my meal and I think everyone did as well else did as well.   

After we were finished with our entrées our waitress brought a plate of two sopapillas with cinnamon, caramel sauce and honey for me and a plate for everyone else to share. I'm not a huge dessert fan but I've always loved sopapillas and these were excellent and didn't disappoint. We all had a very enjoyable lunch and we can't wait to return especially my brother-in-law who later suggested we meet here again in the future so we will definitely be back.
