Chakas Mexican Restaurant - Denver Colorado

August 1, 2018

My parents and I stopped here for an early dinner. It was not too busy, but was filling up by the time we left. We were greeted and seated right away.  We had our drink orders taken and chips and salsa brought by the same guy. Then our waiter came and took our dinner orders. 

This salsa was okay it was a little spicy and was fairly good but it was in too big of a bowl for the amount of salsa. These were regular chips but some were red and green. 

I got the number 6 combo which had a beef burrito, cheese enchilada and a crispy chile relleno.  The beef burrito had a beef filling that was just ground beef mixed with some sort of sauce and I didn’t like it so much. The enchilada was good with a decent sauce and the cheese was not tough and chewy like you get in some places. The crispy chile relleno was all right but wasn’t so crispy with all the green chili on top. I really did enjoy the green chili, I had mine half-and-half so it was a bit spicy here and there and was very good. There was plenty of this chili smothering my burrito and chile relleno. My mom also had this combo but just got the mild green chili. 

Dad had a Chimichanga with shredded beef and with half-and-half green chili.  He thought the beef was really good. But the rice and beans not so much. 

If I was in the area again I might considering returning but won’t go a long way out of the way to eat at Chakas Mexican Restaurant.

Fat burger - Aurora Colorado

July 11, 2018 

 

On my half birthday my parents and I visited Fat burger. We all three ordered a cheeseburger with everything. Dad and I both got onion rings and Mom got the wide fries. 

Soon after our burgers were delivered to our table. Everything on the burger turned out to be pickles, lettuce, tomato, onion, mustard and sweet relish. I liked the idea of relish but didn’t particularly like the sweet version. I very much enjoyed my burger it was a very classic burger and very good. 

The Onion rings were excellent they were good sized and the onion broke when you bit them. The fries weren’t so good. This was a good burger and great onion rings and I would definitely return.

Aloha kitchen - Mesa Arizona

I have never really had Hawaiian food before and was interested in trying it out.  I’ve had Korean Bulgogi before but wasn’t sure how it compared to the Hawaiian version.

 I decided to get Mix Plate #2 which came with Bulgogi and Chicken Katsu.  This plate came with two scoops of white rice, macaroni salad and also barbecue sauce for the Katsu chicken. I thought the Bulgogi tasted all right but it didn’t seem like it was very seasoned or marinated just basically grilled meat. It was also very tough and hard to chew. The Chicken Katsu was cut into strips and easy to eat. The outside breading was nice and crispy and the barbecue sauce with it was good but it just tasted like regular barbecue sauce not anything very different. The rice was plain but okay, the macaroni salad was all right. It also had potatoes in it which I don’t know if that’s normal or not, but I thought it was the best part of it. Also on the plate was a little piece of pineapple.  This was good but I wish there would’ve been more of it. They also had fortune cookies. I don’t know if that’s normal either.  The food here didn’t excite me too much and I don’t really want to return.
