I'll tell you what you *can't* recommend to me. Anything that requires me
to drive on Winchester or Getwell these days. The food might be good, and
if you like salsa (which I don't), that's great. But those areas are also
famous for their drive by shootings and car-jackings, which I'm not too
terribly fond of.
