After Burner

Posted October 11, 2012 by Cpl. Sean Dennison

Despite it being right down the road, I don’t think anyone’s ever reviewed the After Burner Mexican Grille on base. That changes today.

Tacos Mi Rancho

Posted October 4, 2012 by Cpl. Sean Dennison

Why write this review when I can have the patrons of Tacos Mi Rancho speak for themselves (names not given to protect the innocent . . . and satisfied)? “Dear God, I cannot eat anymore.” “Why did you take me here, you know I can’t finish this much food?” “I hate you, but I love…

Posted September 20, 2012 by Lance Cpl. Uriel Avendano

An upscale sushi restaurant without the exorbitant upscale sushi restaurant prices. Asian Star lived up to the hype and delivered gracious hosts, a minimalist but contemporary atmosphere and filling portions. The blend of colors matched the flavors and exceeded expectations.
