OT: Corona Take Out- Hartford Area

[8893]

I don’t know if I have legitimate go to because I switch it up so much. If I have friends over who aren’t the biggest tequila fans then I’ll bring out the Clase Azul. If I’m drinking with my father in law who’s an even bigger tequila fan than me then I’ll drink Don Julio 1942, Siete Leguas Anejo, or Casa Noble.

I frequently check out Total Wine and see if they get anything new in and I’ll give it a shot. I’m not the biggest Patron fan but their Roca Patron was very good.

I generally don’t order expensive shots or drinks at the bar. In terms of the most expensive tequila I’ve had then it’s Casa Herradura Seleccion Suprema that runs for over $300. Very good but not sure I’d spend that much for a bottle. I do intend on buying a bottle of Tears of Llorona soon as I’ve heard it’s out of this world.

Lastly, for my margaritas I’ll only drink Espolon silver. Great price point and tastes great.

The last bottle we got was the Espolon Silver. My wife said the guy at our local recommended it when she told him I was making them for my daughter’s 21st birthday. I would definitely get that again.

I always keep a bottle of Milagro Silver at my place. You like?

Yeah, it’s a good tequila.

In West Hartford,

Got Pepes the other night and thought it was really good. Might switch over to it from Joeys Pizza/Harry’s Bishops. Was against going non new haven for a while out of principle. We picked up a salad from savoy (pizza is also one of my favorites) just so we could buy the max reserve wine half price. Got 2 bottles and a salad.
El Pollo Gaupo is our go to for take out. Great meal for 12 bucks and the bowls are packed. Lately we’ve also gotten Chinese from Shu (I feel like black bamboo has gone a little down hill lately although I live right next to it and the owner is the nicest guy ever). Got bears tonight which is always decent.

If you like Cora Cora you HAVE to try Piolin. Way more food at half the price. Really good tasting too.

Will do, thanks. It's not that much further down the road.

If you’re East of the river in Hartford area it’s Lucky Taco

Love Lucky Taco in Manchester....
Lucky Taco was in the process of opening a new place in the Parkville section of Htfd in the same building as Hog River Brewing. Not sure of their status with everything going on now....

Actually is it's going to be in Parkville Market which is under construction in the building diagonally across the street from the Hog River building.

Cora Cora- excellent Peruvian place on new Britain ave near a dong market.

For a minute I thought you had created a new name for an adult store.

I loved going to A Dong market, but never felt it was the uhhh, cleanest place. Not sure when I'll be back there.

Fornarelli's on Asylum Street in Hartford opened up just before it all hit the fan. Having grown up in an Italian household, I rarely go out for Italian food, because I know it will suffer by comparison, but this place is authentic and SOLID.

One of my buddy's turned me onto the Espolon tequilas a while ago. You're right. Great taste and good price. Our 25 years old daughter makes margaritas with Cuervo. I just sorta cringe. I keep telling her she can afford something better.

I got Bears BBQ from downtown on Grubhub a few weeks ago. I only ever get the Bear Attack - pulled pork over mac and cheese and cornbread. It's ridiculous good. I'm guessing they are still on the food sites. I also picked up Shake Shack across from the Westfarms Mall and pizza (the sweet pea pizza - trust me) at First and Last, Hartford. Basically my three most frequented spots for food and beers.

I got shake shack recently just because I forgot how it tasted. It was pretty good and they had a take out area at the back door. I would prefer plan B burgers or Max burger but this is a good alternative

You ever get the chicken pot pie at Corner Pug? My favorite part about that place is the "Taxation is theft" sketched into a wall above one of the urinals haha

I got pizza from the Blind Pig tonight. Pretty good!

Their pot pies are incredible. My go-to is the Pug Mac & Cheese, some of the best Mac I have ever had.

If you’re over by UConn, cafemantic in Willimantic is hands down one of the best restaurants in CT. Traditionally small plates (but doing more family sized stuff now) and all farm to table and locally sourced. It’s to die for, and worth the ride even if you’re a ways away
