Olde Madrid

Categories: Spanish, Basque

2/19/2008 2 photos First to Review

A popular, busy Spanish-themed restaurant in downtown Racine serving a variety tapas and paellas, plus several entrees. Our paella was disappointing, but most of the tapas selections were good enough, and a few were excellent.

Service was professional, despite the full house on both visits.

Taqueria Nuevo Vallarta

Category: Mexican

11/9/2007 1 photo First to Review

A nice little family place with some very good tacos -- especially the steak tacos at $1.75 each or $6.95 for a dinner of three with rice and beans.

Check out the recent Journal Times story about the restaurant: http://tinyurl.com/2va2ok

Update: Beginning in March 2008, they are also open on Sundays.

Taqueria Azteca - CLOSED

Category: Mexican

Overall, while it wasn't anything amazing, Taqueria Azteca is a restaurant we may return to. We both liked the food better than La Perla's, and I'm sure it's more fun when it's busier.

Main Moon 2

Category: Chinese

4/25/2006 First to Review

if you're nearby and just looking for a quick Chinese fix, Main Moon can fill that void. You can order at the counter, then take a seat at a table where your food will be brought to you. The dining atmosphere is all florescent light and fast food bustle, nothing relaxing or exotic, so we prefer to carry out.

Honada Sushi & Hibachi

Wonderful sushi in Kenosha? Kenosha, Wisconsin, the city of tattoos, taverns and pizza parlors? It doesn't seem possible, and yet here it is at Honada.

Charlie Beinlich's Food & Tap

Category: American (Traditional)

3/31/2006 First to Review

Great hamburgers in a great room since 1950.

Charlie Beinlich's is a family-run place with knotty pine paneling and mounted trout on the wall. Even though it's virtually underneath the Edens Expressway spur, once you're inside, you might as well be in the middle of Wisconsin or rural Illinois.

Barney's Memphis Style Ribs - CLOSED

Category: Barbeque

3/28/2006 4 photos First to Review

The baby back ribs were small, not particularly meaty (I would have preferred bigger spare ribs), and simply too dry. Memphis style ribs are customarily prepared with a dry spice rub. Sauce, if desired at all, is available on the table. Barney's spice rub was actually pretty good -- not too thickly applied, zingy yet subtle -- but the whole trick to this style of ribs is to still retain the natural pork juices (often with the help of a vinegar-based "mop sauce" during smoking). That part needs work.

Mickey-Lu-Bar-B-Q

Categories: Barbeque, Burgers

3/24/2006 4 photos First to Review

The charm of Mickey-Lu's is that the room has apparently been unaltered since the restaurant was established in 1942. The Formica counter, the stools, the jukebox, the tables -- everything looks original. There's a news clipping on the wall about a couple who spent their first date at Mickey-Lu's returning to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.

Tenuta's Delicatessen & Liquors

Categories: Beer, Wine & Spirits, Delis, Grocery

3/21/2006 1 photo First to Review

Tenuta's (http://tenutasdeli.com) is the best thing in Kenosha, Wisconsin. I say this as someone who lived in K-Town for 43 years. It's the number one attraction that I would recommend to out-of-towners, and the only place I can remember a U.S. president visiting (George W. Bush during Campaign '04, complete with a Secret Service chopper that set down in the middle of 52nd Street).

At first sight, Tenuta's may not knock your Persols off. Surely there are comparable Italian delis in New York City, and perhaps also in Chicago. After all, it's just a food and liquor store. But what a food and liquor store!

Houmann's is part of Supreme Lobster and Seafood Company (http://supremelobster.com), a good-sized seafood distributor servicing restaurants, supermarkets, and so forth throughout four states and even beyond. This means they've got a steady flow of quality product.
