Agreed. La Bamba is great, and La Salsa was fantastic when it was open too. Pretty close, and both solid options.

Speaking of Champaign Mexican food - nothing tops Dos Reales nowadays.

You must not have been to Maize then
You and Kevin Mitchell?There was a picture of me hanging in Zorba's in the form of the News Gazette clipping from the 2007 win at Ohio State. It was my claim to fame in Champaign. When Zorba's went up in flames, so did my lasting impact.
Like a Phoenix, you arose from the ashes and were reborn.

Maize. Maize absolutely does (even though I have found memories of Dos Reales)

Didn’t have a Friday class my last seven semesters of Undergrad, and spent many a hungover Friday morning/afternoons walking to Maize to start my weekend. Never failed.

So, you had Friday classes your first semester of college? Or were you on the Van Wilder plan?

Unfortunately there really isn’t much news. Plus High School recruiting has changed so much based on transfers that it is not uncommon for a player to commit and then change plans. For me it is interesting to see who we are interested in but when over 50% of the roster is new each year and most of that happens in April-June it is hard to know what the team will look like next year
Hey, during the off season Dan needs "clicks'" to feed his family so why shouldn't we be talking about Champaign-Urbana food, both past and present just to fill in the time and drive enough traffic to IllinoisLoyalty that Dan can keep it up and running until the season starts or something of actual basketball interest occurs?

I don’t come here to reminisce about campus food of the past. I come for recruiting news. Start a thread somewhere else for your food talk.
