A sports bar, at that.  <shudder>

There's Henfling's.  That's one.  How many am I missing?  Boulder Creek has
two, I think, plus the brewery.  I think Ben Lomond is behind, although
Henfling's is a dive worth about 4 points.

I've always thought that Ben Lomond has Henfling's to thank for the generous
beer guts on their volunteer firemen.  The rest of us have scrawny firemen
who can't budge Ben Lomond's masses at the Firemen's Muster tug-of-war.  You
should be suitably grateful.

The only event Boulder Creek can take is the Chief's Barrel Keg Shoot.

--hmm, who is not the least bit envious, oh not at all.

Der, that depends on what kind of sports bar.  Oops.

This shows you how often I go bar hopping.  The last
time I remember going to a place that billed itself
as a sports bar was to a "sports bar" at a gym that
served smoothies.  Not the same, huh?  We're talking
satellite dishes and Bud, which is the whole point
of the bar, I suppose.

Still, it's doubtful that any bar serves ghosts.

Ah, I didn't know this.  The only one I have ever been in did.  Thanks.

Actually, now that you mention it, maybe one of the bars I was
thinking of was La Salsa.  So maybe a sports bar will be an improvement.

Oh, terrific.  Another bar.  :-(  

Is it my imagination, or does BL have more than its share of bars?

That would be Felton Farm Cookies, of course.  A-ya.

Sorry, I've been away from this group for a bit.  The posting I'm responding to 
doesn't have anything to do with the subject.  Is La Salsa in Ben Lomond shutting 
down?  I had three lousy, very Americanized Mexican meals there and finally got 
smart.  At the risk of starting a flame war, can somebody please tell me what keeps 
Adelita's in BC open?  I've had only two good meals there, the rest (numerous ones) 
lousy, and the last one kept me up retching all night.  Why did I keep going back 
after numerous lousy meals?  Guess maybe I kept thinking I'd get a good one like the 
two really good ones I did have; or maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment?

I really look forward to eating at Adelitas... I don't know why in
particular...ok, well I guess I do... I like the fact that the chips and
salsa run freely and they don't look like they came out of a plastic bag
and jar,(in that order), and the burritos (particularily the chicken ones)
are really big and covered with veggies and goop and onions. The waiters
are mellow and try their best to serve you quickly and although it is not
the highest class establishment, even if I didn't live in Boulder Creek I
would still drive up from the Bay Area and bring all my Apple Coworkers
with me because I am not ashamed to take them there. I like Adelitas. But,
I realize that everyone has an opinion. You might try (if you live down in
the Bay Area, or are down there at all) a place in Mountain View called
the El Paso Cafe. They have some what of the same fare, but perhaps it
would be more to your taste. I guess you would class them TexMex....they
have a nice patio to eat on too.

I, too, like the Adelita's in BC.  I've had just one bad 
meal there, but that was due to a mild allergic reaction I 
had to some cacti in one dish (I was being too adventurous, 
I guess) -- that's not Adelita's fault.

Try the chicken mole, either the red or green.  Muy macho
blow the roof of your head off good.  Yum.

Adelita advertises authentic Mexico City cuisine, so maybe
they imported some of the water, too, which didn't agree 
this one disgruntled customer.... just kidding....

leseee. uh, theres henflings, and la salsa had a bar as well. two bars
dont seem that many. actually, i think felton has about three times
that. 

as much as i have no use for a sports bar, it dosent really change the
number of bars in ben lomond. 

my guess is that unless they install a decent resturant in the sports
bar it will fail.

There is a bar inside of Chao Bella also, small cheerful bar.
Go there on your birthday and have Tad (owner) sing happy birthday
to you in Italian!

The one meal I had at Adelita's - the main dish was very good however the tortillas 
and the beans were terrible...  I personally think that if they can't get the beans 
and tortillas right...  And I thought the salsa was lame...  My lady did not like hers 
at all... Oh well I have always found the best Mexican food in the little whole in the 
walls there are some good ones in San Jose... Or when I visit all my cousins in L.A. 
nothing beats home cooked Mexican food...

You might saunter over to Rosa's on the Yacht harbor (near the
boatworks, upstairs from the H&N Fish Co.)  This ain't amurican
mexican food by a long shot.  Don't let the paper plates and cafeteria
(lack of) service fool you... They have some of the best eats in Santa
Cruz imnsho.  Especially try the 3 fish tacos, I usually get one each
of Salmon, Shrimp, and Scallop.  Try the chicken (house specialty).
Try the Papas Nortenos (potatoes sauted w/ garlic and chorizo, mmm!).
The chicken cesars salad is good too.

Best Mex food is At Johnnie's Burritos on Ventura Avenue, Ventura! A 
little far, I know, but a quick jog off 101 S when your travelling 
southerly.
