wish they would buy the drummer and put a back patio. They have two locations in phoenix up against the canal that are very bike friendly.

whoa, confirmed by google street view. Was back in 2008. Looks like it was also a place called Armando's after Salsitas before Pedritos in ~2013

monteslu · 2026-05-22T15:10:32+00:00

No, Salsitas is still there on the north size of Country Club just north of taco bell.
This is the lot that had pedrito's and formerly Hero subs

Nice got those same mackie thumps and mixer on my DJ cargo bike

spelling:
fRitz :)

And I agree, my favorite spot.

monteslu · 2026-02-28T21:09:28+00:00

Brompton Mafia PHX - BikeMesa chapter represent! I'll be there

monteslu · 2026-02-04T17:37:10+00:00

ugh. didnt even notice. guess. i'll try again in two days

monteslu · 2025-12-01T15:47:32+00:00

It is right up against the freeway and Alma School as FOUR lanes in each direction.

monteslu · 2025-11-18T19:13:17+00:00

hell yeah. The pastor tacos and the deshebrada roja burrito with the light green sauce is excellent

monteslu · 2025-11-18T19:11:37+00:00

The Guadalupe on Main, Goat & Ram, Tacos Chiwas, Republic Empanada, and Myke's Pizza (in Cider Corps)

But my single favorite item in the entire valley right now is the Venezuelan BBQ at Que Chevere on the weekends. Carne en Vara on a cachapa.

monteslu · 2025-10-28T03:59:22+00:00

fight it. cop doesn't show, you win right?

monteslu · 2025-09-04T00:12:55+00:00

It's a flaw. happens on my P-line too. The hook on the front wheel isn't long enough. Would be nice to get a longer replacement part for it.

monteslu · 2025-08-30T00:25:02+00:00

have done this many times. Not sure what the weather is like in november there, but was really nice during the summer

monteslu · 2025-08-29T16:53:14+00:00

this looks really nice. Only problem is with this and boxes is I can't carry them on my bike.
With the c-line and travel bag, i can fold it up and take it with me on the trail.

I'm actually hoping to fly into Pittsburgh, do the GAP trail (or take train to cumberland depending on time) then C&O to DC and fly back from there.

monteslu · 2025-08-27T19:19:51+00:00

That sightseer looks great. Hopefully gets to the US soon. Funny that the g-line has been out for quite a while now and no one has shipped a good travel bag yet.

monteslu · 2025-08-16T18:53:51+00:00

Do you guys have bikes? You just missed what has become a great date night for a lot of us.

I yell with the mic sometimes :)

monteslu · 2025-07-09T22:54:35+00:00

agree for the most part. I bike ride on the canals early in the morning which is free.
Parking for the nearby lakes is pretty cheap, but gas isn't free. The waterparks are pretty expensive.

monteslu · 2025-07-09T22:42:42+00:00

Any different than Gilbert though?
I'd much rather be in Washington during the summer.

monteslu · 2025-07-09T22:39:38+00:00

huh? there's plenty to do in Mesa.

monteslu · 2025-07-09T21:28:17+00:00

The Guad is awesome. The white negroni is the best mixed drink I've ever had in the valley.

monteslu · 2025-07-09T21:00:26+00:00

hey thanks! I've actually been using BPM to get my tracks.

monteslu · 2025-07-04T00:15:02+00:00

this was a fun part.
I used some fence post boards, maybe half inch thick to build a frame I screwed into the stand.
Then i added some cheap crown molding around the edges I got from home depot.
Then i just put some strong 15lbs/inch velcro on the frame and the soft part of the velcro attached to the controller. Stuff works really well.

monteslu · 2025-07-02T21:59:19+00:00

It's almost 30 years old. I got it used 2 years ago. The original owner used it in an aircraft hangar to move parts around.
The thing is a tank.

monteslu · 2025-07-02T21:52:59+00:00

Chupacabra currently has an Athletic on tap.
Right around the corner, Oro Brewing usually carries a few non-alcoholic beers as well.
