by Courtney Y. on National Mechanics was a cool place. For a bar it's pretty spacious and the vibe was definitely chill. Loved the eclectic music mix from 50's classics to hip hop, plus the volume wasn't too loud so you could actually have a conversation. My expectations for the food weren't high since it's a bar/restaurant, but it was pretty tasty and affordable too. I'm down with any place that has corn dogs ($4.50 for two) on the menu! I also love how the frito taco extravaganza is served in a ripped open chip bag. Even though it was a bit pricey ($6) for the portion size the chile con carne on top made it worth it. My husband had the burger ($8) which was big, juicy and served with a side of crispy steak fries. Pretty good for a bar burger he said. Hands down our favorite dish of the night was the spicy buffalo wings ($8), which were fried to perfection. I'd head to NM again just for the wings! NM was a cool spot that did not disappoint (although the service was kind of slow on a Saturday night but that kind of goes with the chill vibe). It's the perfect place to pig out on your fave junk foods and hang with friends without breaking the bank.
by Amy L. on Um, another restaurant, with an adjacent nightclub, only this one with a Mexican theme. I valeted, and went inside to meet my friends. Loud salsa music blasted from one end of the building, so I headed over to the other side. We ordered up, and the portions were HUGE. food tasted ok, and service was friendly. Would I come back? Maybe.
