The Painted Burro is now open

The Painted Burro is now open in the space formerly occupied by Gargoyles. When I walked by, they told me that they had opened yesterday.

In other paint news, I saw a bunch of folks painting walls in the former Namaskar restaurant today. Why, I don't know. Most of the fixtures are still there, so I hope this means another restaurant will arrive soon.

I was really disappointed in both the quality of the food and the management.

Shrimp tacos were served raw, leaving one diner feeling a bit ill. When returned to the kitchen, and replaced with the vegetarian option, a chunk of shrimp was found in the vegetarian taco! It is kinda early for a new restaurant to have a vindictive kitchen staff. Moreover, the manager was a bit argumentative over the whole debacle.

Sad to say, I won't return.

Oh, and just learned this from yelp - despite what our server told us:

"4a. Vegetarians, beware. The only completely 100% veggie options on the menu are the Mizuna + Red Oak Salad and the Enchiladas. Everything else that seems vegetarian is actually cooked with chicken stock. I'm always a little taken aback when I find a restaurant in Somerville or Cambridge with few to no veggie options. Are you kidding? Do you know where your restaurant is located?"
