Are you talking about the China Star Bistro near Taco Bell? I love that place. Their Hot and Spicy Soup is to die for.


I miss Godfather's Pizza on Dyer and the Chucky Cheese that was on Dyer ( I still remember that stupid little ferris wheel with one seat...I loved that!) Capetto's on Sanders ( the food and atmosphere just seemed so much better than the one near Piedras.) TGIF. The Gooney Golf on Dyer (my bro and I used to pratically live there.) The old Western Playland with the Golden Nugget and that big slide that I left half of my butt cheek on whenever I lost my potato sack going down it. Magic Landing. I also miss going down in the basement of the old airplane hangar on Bliss. You know, that huge one that is the first one you see when heading towards the airport from Airport road. I used to go there and read the FOD's (i think that it what I remember them being called). I loved the smell of airplane fuel and grease.

I know that EP is flooded with mexican food joints, but it would be nice to have a couple of Taco Buenos around town. If you ever been to one, they're a similar to Taco Bell and Taco Cabana. Tacos are good and cheap - like 89 cents, I buy 4-5 at a time.
