 | |  |  | Boloco: Great quick meal | Tip Rating:   Satisfaction:   |  |  | |  |
This is one of the beat places I have had a quick, tasty, inexpensive meal. Better than any fast food joint. We were getting a bit peckish after walking around our second day in Boston and we came across this place. Originally called the "Wrap" this place specializes in what else, wraps which they call "Burritos". The place wasn't crowded and has a few tables with an open kitchen. Your food comes out fresh and quick and oh so yummy. I was told by the "cook" that during the week day lunch hours the crowds are out the door. There is a reason, their wraps are the best I have had.
I tried the ""Bangkook Burrito" a Thai-style wrap with peanut sauce, Asian slow, cucumbers, rice on a tortilla wrap and washed it down with a "Mango Passion" smoothie. Veronica had a non inspired Cesear Wrap and I think the "Cape Codder". Their Prices are just right, the wraps were $5 for the regular, $6 for the large, the smoothies were $3 for the small and $4 for the large.

| | | | Davio's Boston: Northen Italian | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
We wanted to have a wonderful meal at a restaurant my friend had never visited. I did some research and had a list of a few fine dining places for us to choose from. We decided on Davio's. Davio's was more than just fine dining, it was an experience. The restaurant is packed every day of the week and a reservation for a Saturday is usually 4 weeks out. We didn't have reservations since we weren't sure what time we would be back in the city, so we decided to just go and hope we'd get lucky with a table. We arrived at Davio's sometime around 8:30 pm and asked if there was a table. The restaurant was full and even the bar seemed crowded with diners. The hostess suggested we sit at the "Chef's" table which is a full service table. We were sitted at the table with the kitchen in plain view. The wait staff was excellent and the kitchen served to be a great source of entertainment. At one point, a women approached the kitchen and started ordering the wait staff around, I laughed and called her "Leona" (Helmsly), as she was like a drill sargent. We laughed and thought that she was a hostess in charge of a large party, we still aren't sure, but we can bet that she is the owner of this establishment. The dining area is huge, we estimated about 100 tables in an open area, high ceilings and dark wood throughout the restaurant. The bar was crowded and many people were enjoying a full meal there. We had a wonderful experience and enjoyed every bit of our meal. But if you are in a rush, this is not your place. They are so, busy, that it does take time for you meal to come out.
A small try of assorted olives, hummus and garlic butter are brought out with a basket of warm bread. We started our meal ordering the arugula salad which we shared and "Davio's Philly Cheese Steak Rolls with spicey Ketchup". For my main course I had the "Pan Seared Sea Scallops, Sweet Creamy Corn, Potato Millefoglie". It was delicious. My friend had the "Raised Right Free-Range Chicken, Sautéed Spinach, Whipped Yukon Potatoes, Sugo Naturale". We topped our selection with a Reisling. The meal was excellent and I would hightly recommend this restaurant. I did notice that the majority of the dinners ordered either their Veal Tenderloin or their rack of Veal, or the Steak.

| | | | Stephanie's on Newbury: Lunch with a view | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
After doing so much shopping on Newbury, we decided we needed some great food and a nice atmosphere with drinks of course. Roni had been to Stephanie's before and suggested we take our lunch here, I really wanted tapas (at Tapeo), with some yummy sangria, but I had to settle for Stephanie's (we compromised, went to Tapeo the following day). Stephanie's is a beautiful place to have more than just lunch. The interior is classy with a huge fireplace and lounger chairs. The dining area is really nice, check out their website for more details.
I really liked this place and would recommend an afternoon or early evening to enjoy a few drinks in the beautiful lounge, while you are here, have an appetizer or two. Roni had the Ahi Tuna Tartare (personally, I could only have one of these as one sitting), looked yummy though. I had the lobster quesadilla, wow, was out of this world. For drinks we each ordered a "violet haze" and Roni had the "pomegranite maritini" The drinks and food were delicious....

| | | | Anna's Tacqueria: The best Mexican in all of Boston | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
If you ask any local Bostonian about a great place to have Mexican (fast food) and Anna's Taqueria is what they will say. As you walk inside you'll find yourself in a room with warm yellow walls. There are a few tables, but the major part of their business is take-out. Made fresh and fast, thhe food is simple with burritos dominating menu. Get yours as you want with either grilled chicken, pork, beef, or for those you perfer a vegetarian. Filled with beans, rice, guacamole, hot sauce (if you like) and rolled in wraps from Bread & Circus. The cost for one of these burritos is about $4. A fantastic place for a quick and cheap meal.
I ordered the chicken burrito with the works, but this burritos was huge (I couldn't finish mine).
