Today's attendees: Andrew, Sol, Resnick and Allen. Things started off badly when we ventured to Los Champions (which is actually the oddly named Champions Bars and More). There's only one bar, so that "s" is a little confusing. We went in because the group was feeling Mexican. Los Champions has the most authentic tacos around. In the past, they've been double small corn tortillas with large chunks of onion, cilantro, radishes, limes on the side, and more. With a spicy red sauce drizzled on your choice of chicken, beef, BBQ pork or pork, you're looking at a truly tasty lunch. And that's exactly what we had in mind.
We saddle up to our table (not the "bars") and crack open the menu. What the...? This menu is different. Where are the tacos? This looks like typical bar food, mozzarella sticks, burgers, nachos. This can't be happening. The waitress comes over and we ask, do you still have the tacos? Why yes. We can still do that. Sol said it best. "Ordering off menu is huge." They brought the same homemade tortilla chips with one of the best, most unique salsas around.
Allen, Sol and Andrew all order the exact same dish: 4 tacos with pork. Reg, somewhat expectedly, charts his own course. As usual, I have no idea what he ordered, but I do know it was different. He doesn't like to run with the crowd, that Resnick. Oh, yeah, "It's variety, bitch." The meal comes and it's not exactly what it was previously. Sol thinks the pork was marinated or something and this time, it doesn't seem to be.
In the end, it was a solid meal with excellent flavor.

I think this place has potential. I like that you can order your old favorites off menu and that the new menu has a nice (dare I say it...) variety, including some Greek/Mediterranean flavor with an addition of kabobs and gyros.
