Buenos Dias my loves! And Happy Thursday and so we have all made it to the end of our work week and the weekend is among us. This week was a little topsy turvy for me with a lot of things but I am here, I am good and keeping it moving! This weeks "Wednesday Dinner" came from a recommendation from my best friend Tiffany. Tiffany had been telling me for a while now I should try this taco place so yesterday I decided to try it. This one is for all my West LA folks who frequent Pico Blvd...... So let the "Wednesday Dinner" story began. If you live close to Pico Blvd or not to far then I am sure you have heard of "Sky's Taco's" http://www.skysgourmettacos.com/, and if you haven't heard then listen closely because this place just might be Pico's best kept secret. Located on Pico Blvd right after Fairfax "Sky's" is a small, quaint eatery with a lot of flavor to offer. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner and specializing in "Mexican food with a splash of Soul". As many times as I have driven down Pico and never even saw "Sky's" I was surprised of the location and I thought why haven't I stopped here before, but anyway Tiffany recommended that I try a taco and a burrito and so I rolled with that, so here is what I ate:
Chicken Taco
Shrimp Burrito
Chips and Guacamole
I must say that I was very very please with my food, "Sky's" puts another twist on their food not only is the food Mexican with a splash of soul but the tacos and burritos are served open faced. With a unique flavor on their food and a special salsa that has a very sharp taste of chili powder the food is DELISH. I didn't really care much for my taco but I LOVED the burrito hands down! They were not to skimpy on the shrimp and the burrito would have been enough to get me full. I also ordered chips and guacamole, the chips are your classic home made tortilla chips seasoned (I couldn't quite figure out the seasoning but it was good). The guacamole was good too it wasn't to onion-ny or bland it was just right. Inside of "Sky's" is very quite, clean and cozy, I would definitely suggest it for a date or a lunch meeting or just a quick to go type thing. I also ordered Lemonade and their Lemonade is to die for, served in a Jar if you dine in to give you that down home type feeling (I can dig that). I was totally impressed with the food and the service and this proves my fact that some of the best places to eat are in neighborhoods and on streets you wouldn't expect! After I ate there was still a little room for dessert. I noticed that "Sky's" doesn't have a huge dessert menu they serve one thing and one thing only; Cheesecake! With 4 different types of cheesecake to choose from my choice wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be but I decided to have:
Carmel Crunch Cheesecake
OMG this cheesecake is up there with "Harriet’s" as being one of my favorites. Served with carmel sauce drizzled on the side and filled with nuts this cheesecake was amazing! I spent a total of about $13.00 yesterday on everything which isn't bad because I did order a lot and I must say again that the service at "Sky's" was great to (THANKS). All in all dinner was DELISH and I will be going back sooner than later! Special thanks to Tiffany for the recommendation.

In closing I would like to leave you with this "If you want power show it, if you want respect earn it and if you want more take it" Until next week, that's all -Ashley
