| Armadillo Willy's BBQ | Los Altos, CA | |
|
There are two versions of Armadillo Willie's.A regular
sit down with a waitress affair and a "self serve"
where you stand in line, order your meal and pay before being
seated.The order person gives you a pagertype contraption that
buzzes when your tray or trays are ready.
I have eaten at both and prefer the cafeteria style.The Que ain't
great but it is good and a good value.The sides are all good too.Two
bottles of BBQ sauce on the table, mild and not mild and a roll
of papertowels.My sister and I have lunched there a few times
and even tryed the all you can eat ribs feed on Monday night's.It's
too bad about the one on San Antonio taking a turn for the worse.The
one I used to frequent untill I left the Bay Area is in Dublin.

I frequented this great place alot in the mid '70s and then
again just recently.It is great.There is a fish market where
you may buy fresh fish by the pound and then they had enough sense
to go out and buy a deep fryer and see what happens.What happened
is the best fish and chips in the world all cooked to perfection
and served in a decidedly low key and casual style.I'd always
eat outside in the sun breathing exhaust fumes from the El Camino
Real.No kidding tho.You must try this little gem of a joint.

Friendly wait staff.Try the pork spareribs full rack.Good fries
and you get this huge plate of great cole slaw before your bones, like
a salad.Good food and good value.

I don't get it.I lived in California for 18 years and travelled
to Mexico a few times.The people that rave about authentic Mexican
food at Momma's have never been out of Seattle.I ate there
in June of 2003 while visiting friends that raved about it also.It
was OK.A little overpriced.Great wait staff.Cool and funky
surroundings, OK.But "authentic" fare and a good
value? Not even.Must be the strong drinks and the vibe.Hey more
power to 'em.What is considered great in Seattle could be
laughed at or dismissed in Los Angeles.Food wise.
