Salty Senorita

It's that time ladies and gentlemen. It is Novemeber in the valley and the patio is open.

As you go through the rest of your day, I warn you from spending too long thinking how outright perfect the weather is for sitting on a patio with a cold beer or margarita watching the clouds go by.

Phoenix is full of spectacular patios. Some with splendid views of the mountains, some with spelendid views of the, er... well, you know.

There are Several Salty's around town. Each with its own particular flavor but all offer the same essentials.

1. reasonably priced beers. (mexican imports and domestics)
2. attractive female patrons. (youngest in Tempe, hotest in old town, easiest on the west side)
3. endless chips and salsa. (cough up the 2 bucks)
4. acceptable house Margarita (There are better in Phoenix but over all, a fine drink)

The food has changed a couple times this year and although I am not a fan and wouldnt go there for the food alone, it is allright when you have had a couple and decide you should probably eat something. I do not think you can call Salty's a Mexican restaurant without insulting Mexican restaurants from Santa Barbara to Brownsville but if you are interested in a quick nosh, i suggest the taquitos. Servings are smallish and pricey, but like I said, you are not here for the food.

So the next time the gang from work is kicking aroud where to go, and its November, and the weather is perfect, and you have an itching for a little lime and tequila... I highly suggest the Salty Senorita.

Tomorrow we will talk real Mexican Food.
