I used to eat at the trucks b/c they're cheap.  but then I started to feel ill and stopped eating here.  I do want to try the vegan truck when they return  But overall I tend to avoid these trucks due to my sensitive stomach.

i usually ordered the falafel sandwich from the jerusalem cafe truck - it was okay but the lettuce and tomatoes did not taste very fresh and i think that is what made me feel ill.

went here before i saw dirty dancing the musical.  it is conveniently located across the street from the opera house and the perfect spot to grab a bite to eat before seeing a show.  i look forward to returning when it is warmer to get some frozen yogurt.  the fries are good but the veggie burger was terrible.  it's pretty inexpensive, so i should not complain too much - you basically get what you pay for.

went here for lunch in 2006.  saw a mouse running around the restaurant.  told the food server and her reply "yeah, that happens all the time."  no discount offered.  have not been back here for lunch since.  i did return for after work drinks one time, but otherwise i try to avoid this place.

def my fave thai restaurant in boston.  also conveniently located to me.  they know to ask vegetarians if we prefer soy sauce over fish sauce.  last time i checked, they use no msg.  and their tofu fried rice is awesome (my favorite dish).  i also like the vegetarian fresh roll with peanut sauce - though one time they accidentally gave me the shrimp roll in my takeout order (i was too lazy or it was too cold to return, but i am sure they would have been accomodating). i took my cousin (who is from thailand) here and she liked it - so it must be good.

only 4 stars because i am half-thai and have tried amazing vegetarian thai food in thailand - i set a high bar when it comes to thai food (if you visit bangkok, i recommend the atlanta hotel's restaurant - i dream about eating there again)

a few years ago I bought my now mother-in-law a beautiful brooch that cost between $85-100 (can't remember the exact price).  Immediately after I gave her the brooch, a lot of the stones fell out.  we tried to exchange the brooch and the owner would not make the exchange and she was not very friendly about the situation either.  I think this was in 2004 or 2005, so the economy cannot be blamed for this.  needless to say I have never returned and will continue to walk past this store.

This is yet another place that makes me feel ill and I try to avoid eating here because of this fact.  BUT the staff is super friendly and they offer what appears to be decent vegetarian options. So I give Mexicali 2 stars instead of 1.

I feel ill whenever I eat here.  I noticed I tend to review the places I Iove and not the places I hate.  This was the first spot I thought of under the "hate" category.

the selection at MIke's is great - they always have what I am looking for.  the staff is very friendly and cool.  Between Mike's, Comcast On Demand, and the BPL DVD collection I have zero need for a netflix subscription.  I love that Mike's is an independent movie rental store - there aren't many left these days.  Mike's also offers great deals depending on the day of the week.  check out the sign above the registers for info.
