| - After all this time, I finally made it to Ticoz. 2 friends and I showed up on a Tuesday at about 6:20, and while the dining room and patio were full, we settled in at the bar with no trouble (and let's face it... may as well stay as close to the booze as possible). Our waiter was kind enough to rush over and let us know that happy hour was just about to end, if we wanted to get a drink order in. Oddly enough, we DID want a drink! I ordered a mojito, which is always a favorite of mine. They have all sorts of fancy ones, but I just wanted a plain jane mojito. Not only was it delicious and only $3, it was BIG! One of my friends swears by the Sangria, and the other had a fancy mojito and loved it too.
We opted to just split some appetizers. We ordered the Cinnamon dusted chicken flautas, beef empanadas, and a side of corn crusted (something like that) fries. The fries were very good, but they were just fries. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I guess I thought it would be totally different than regular fries. The beef empanadas were very good; it's just shredded beef cooked up in puff pastry. A very simple idea, and one I plan to try at home sometime soon. The beef was a little bland, but it was a very filling and satisfying little treat. But now for the best... the cinnamon chicken flautas. Hoooooooooooooooooooooooly cow did I love those things. I've already been back once since, and I know I should try other things, but I couldn't resist. I've found myself craving them at the oddest times. They are just shredded chicken wrapped in a tortilla, cooked and rolled around in cinnamon. Sounds weird, but absolutely wonderful.
I want to give it 5 stars for those flautas and mojitos, but based on the other two items (and until I try something else there) and their terrible, terrible Tostitos tortilla chips, I'm going to stick it at a 4.
A++++ WOULD EAT IT AGAIN!
