The young lady is 14 years old and looking for a donor. It's a matter of life/death for this child. The manager said she would check with corporate. Well, corporate said NO re donation and that's fine. But they also said NO and would not display the flyer!. Ladies and gentlemen I ask you, what harm would it do them to post the flyer? Who knows, it would only take ONE person to see that flyer and be able to be a liver donor. Only a partial liver is needed as the liver regenerates herself. How do you say NO to this little 14 year old girl. I will NEVER, EVER step foot in this store again. I hope Corporate sleeps well. You make me sick.

I got a big order of rice, beans, tortillas, chips and salsa, and some guac. Boring, I know, but I like to make my own mini tacos. The flavors were on point, especially the beans and the salsa. My one small gripe was that I had to pay for the chips and salsa, while my mom's partner who spent about the same amount on his burrito, got them for free. Might have just been a mistake but I thought it was odd. The entrance was through a small market which was interesting. It was a surprise when I got to the dining area and the ceiling opened up into a much larger space complete with gorgeous murals. Would be happy to return if I'm in the area again.

Restaurant service is always very good, even when it is packed wall-to-wall with people. Every staff member I have interacted with has been very friendly and knowledgeable of menu selections. The murals painted on the walls, ceiling, and air ducts are amazing - all done by a local artist. Other decor nicely accentuates the murals perfectly. Prices are quite reasonable for food quality and portion sizes. San Marcos also has outdoor seating available. In my opinion, San Marcos on Broadway is hands down the most authentic Mexican restaurant in Toledo.

Erie, Michigan is not exactly a booming metropolis or Haven for culturally diverse food, but tucked away unassuming off the highway is a hidden gem known aw Erie IGA. I was able to find some eastern European Staples and oddities. Think big lots meets a flea market for groceries and booze. They do have fresh produce and fresh meats, (and typically even fresh pizza) but a lot of what they have is odd overstocked nearly expired items. Not to complain, because expiration dates are just dates that say best used by... They aren't truly expired. And as a bargain hunter, I love paying half the amount for food that is still perfectly fine. Let's talk booze, beer, and wine. This place is staffed Floor to ceiling in one section full of bargain and bizarre. alcohol options. If you have never been here, you have to go in to understand what I am talking about. When I throw parties, this is my stop for a way to cheaply pump my guess full of drunken delight. They also have some houseware stuff sprinkled in between the nearly expired freezer food, and the Eastern European soup options. My husband and I spent over an hour just looking at everything. We went in to pick up some cabbage on our way home from an event a few years back and left with $100 worth of food and alcohol that looks more like $300 worth. I'm not sure if the owner is Russian or Ukrainian, but he was cool is hell. I picked up the best frozen spinach pies I have ever had. They had blitzes and my favorite kosher split pea soup in the freezer. We try to go back every three months or so even though it's completely out of our way just so we can see what cool finds they have procured. The days of small grocery stores are numbered, but every time I see one I go in. And usually, I keep going back. Maybe it's the nostalgia, maybe it's the 1950s housewife in me, but I love a good small town grocery store.

We were…read morefrequent visitors of the Taiwanese restaurant next door, when we first saw that there was going to be a seemingly Middle-Eastern market opening next door. (BTW, I'm not sure what happened to the Taiwanese place next door, but they've been closed for a few weeks now. I'm still trying to figure out if it's temporary or permanent) Anyone who's dined out enough times in Toledo will more likely tell you Toledo weirdly -- I use the term affectionately -- has very good Mediterranean/Middle-Eastern cuisine. You get a wide variety of them, too, such as those of mom-n-pop markets that offer lunch menus, and you also get the nice, family-style sit-down restaurants too. Most of them are very good. Al Nur falls into the former category. What's interesting about them is that their grocery consist of Middle-Eastern, Pakistani and Indian items. And let me tell you, most of their items are VERY well-priced. I don't have much experience with Middle-Eastern groceries so I can't say much about them, but I'm certainly going to try them out (probably with my coworker's help) next time I'm in need of some ethnic groceries. First visit, I ordered their "mixed grill" lunch, which is their version of the kebab combo plate. Came with 3 different skewers of meat over bed of rice and a side salad. Chicken Tawook and (lamb, I believe) shawarma were excellent. Taste I was definitely widely used to. Beef kafta however, I have to mention, had a slightly different spice/seasoning to it. It reminded me of the taste of an Iraqi restaurant I visited in D.C. a few years ago. It was a place my family and my wife's sister's family tried, and I remember my wife was slightly put off by the very strong spice aroma the restaurant had. In my own experience, "Middle-Eastern" labeled places seem to have slightly stronger aroma than those that are labeled "Mediterranean." A quick research will show that it may be because of the availability and usage of different ingredients of spices in different regions. I have the privilege of working/having worked with people of different ethnic background, and I love consulting them about similarities and differences between them. This particular coworker who was born in Pakistan, but had many years of growing up in Kuwait, where his father worked, tells me beef at Al Nur reminds him of what he calls "authentic" Middle-Eastern food from his childhood. Of course, you'll find regions in the States where Middle-Easterners segregate, where you'll have access to their authenticity, but it's certainly not something that's viewed as widely available, IMO. I can tell you right now that it's not going to be for everyone, just like strong-spiced Indian/Pakistani food aren't. But those of us who have the palate for them, I think it's a treat that we now have another Middle-Eastern option in Al Nur. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go pick me up a couple sandwiches for dinner. I've been salivating for them this whole time I was writing about them.

We got the full slab to split and had left overs. They were fall off the bone with mouth watering flavor. The Smokey taste is my favorite when it comes to ribs, rather than some sweeter flavors.
