Eat IT
I first heard about Taco Divino from, well, everyone. From the moment it opened I heard rave reviews, so as soon as I was able, I went in. The venue is quaint, tucked away between a car wash and a car detailing shop off Big Spring St. in Midland, Texas. You might miss it if […]
Last Splash of the Summer: Get It

Last Splash of the Summer: DO IT
While it may still be sultry summertime, there are refreshing getaways for those who know where to look.

It Don’t Mean a Thing if it Ain’t Got that Swing
We’re casting a “swing vote” for June. WHERE TO EAT: Your regular reviewer, Bobbie Cupell, didn’t write this review, so be forewarned that the Bobbie-type repartee is issing-may.

They’re offering up all kinds of meaty goodness, from Italian roast beef, […]
Work and Play: The Road Goes on Forever
And so do the goodies at La Bodega. Where to Eat: Cheese Chile Relleno, you are marvelous. Let me count the ways. Your gooey center surrounded by spicy peppery goodness. Your layer of perfectly fried dough—of course you’re fried, you couldn’t be any other way. Your blanket of sweet and spicy fresh tomato sauce, […]
