BuyWithMe Deal - Tu y Yo

[bangie24.livejournal.com]

Another good Davis Sq deal on BuyWithMe. $20 for $40 at Tu y Yo. I love mexican food, and hear great things about this little restaurant. Looking forward to giving it a try! Just wanted to give you all a heads up.

Tu y Yo is delcious! but not your standard Mexican restaurant (not like Taco Bell, or Rudy's, etc)....

Yummy

Seconded on both counts. Technically Oaxacan I think... And Oaxaca being the food capital of Mexico it's definitely more interesting that your average Mexican, though completely different.

Tu Y Yo used to be good, but has really, I mean really, gone down hill in the last couple of years IMHO.

When I went about 3 months ago, I ordered some zucchini dish. It was basically a plate of sauteed zucchini with some seasonings - that's it. It was un-tasty, zucchini was overcooked and it came with a side of beans. All for $18. I really thought that for that price it was going to be something special - since zucchini in season is about 2 cents a pound. But nope, it was just that - sauteed zucchini with some sauce - a dish that I make much better a home.

Also, I had tastier food in Taco Bell than this place.

Yes, but does Taco Bell have grasshopper empanadas? I think not!

I ate at Tu y Yo once. The fish my dining companion was served had a staple in it. Like, in it. Not just on top, like it had accidentally fallen from a desk or a box or something. But inside the fish. I've not been back.

That's really interesting, but sounds more likely to have come from an upstream supplier, no? No pun intended.

I live quite close, and have been to Tu y Yo several times in the past year or two. I've always had interesting, tasty dishes and I am very pleased that they are different from Taco Bell. If you like Taco Bell better, you are probably not expecting the right thing from this place. In addition, I saw a wedding proposal made and accepted here, so I can't help but get a warm fuzzy feeling. The service is always friendly, if not the fastest in town. Sangria is great (not that difficult, I know, but you can tell if someone just pours it out of a bottle marked "sangria" instead of doing their own thing). I really enjoy it every time I come.

In what universe is Taco Bell the standard of Mexican food?

(And Rudy's, in addition to being Tex-Mex, is also not in the same category as Taco Bell.)

In Oaxaca, fish is a staple.

okay, to clarify, not what some people would think of immediately when you say mexican.... not everyone has such sophisticated tastes as to differentiate between mexican/tex-mex etc. I just meant it's not all burritos and tacos and chips and salsa, etc.

tu y yo is great! there is a lot of thought that goes into their food.
