La Candela

Cantina, one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in town!

Actually....

the prices at Rojo on HIghland Avenue aren't highway robbery, thankfully!

Look Familiar?

The first time I walked in El Barrio, B'ham's hottest new Mexican restaurant ( pun intended), I took one look at the light fixtures and said, "I've seen those thingys somewhere before!"  Turns out that they are
"gravity exhaust vents", according to my "experts".  If not for their expertise,  I'd still be calling them "one of those things that spin around on roofs".  I like them even better as cool light fixtures!   Regardless, this is one very busy spot downtown and you might want to have lunch or dinner there soon. I plan too!

The Cantina - Part II

Last night I met friends for dinner at The Cantina in the Martin Biscuit Building at the Pepper Place. If it sounds familiar, we've been here before. Good friends, good food and drinks, and it's VERY photogenic!

The Cantina

I'll just bet you saw this photo and thought I had found a really neat church here in Birmingham. Actually this is The Cantina, Tortilla Grill, located on 2nd Avenue South in the Martin Biscuit Building at the Pepper Place. ( They have another location on Cahaba Valley Road) Pardon the pun, but this place is dripping with character! It's also a really great place to have some good Mexican food and a beverage. We sat inside last week because of the heat and humidity. I'm so glad we did. Look what I found!
