best mexican food on oahu
- indelibledotink Sep 20, 2011 02:27 AM
after living in vegas and nyc, i have come to sad conclusion that the mexican food here is severely lacking. a native mexican i met also bemoaned the dearth of good comida on island.
i used to enjoy azteca, but their prices are now ridiculously inflated.
i didn't like jose's much.
i wasn't impressed by mexico on school street and they are expensive.
quinteros closed, but they weren't that good at all anyway.
el burrito on piikoi is ok.
el mariachi in kaneohe is alright.
toritos in market city is really pricy and i was really disappointed.
i have yet to try the restaurant in manoa marketplace which had a good writeup in the paper awhile back. they're supposed to have authentic dishes in addition to the usual. they also have a sister store on the windward side.
any suggestions?
El Charitto near Aiea Bowl had a good red chicken mole the first week they were open, but the next meal we had was meh, as was the food at the rest. across Moana Lua South of the Bowl and at Tacos Ricos. I have had a good fish taco at Luibueno, and some say other dishes there are good, though expensive. Good,cheap, simple tacos are available at Diego's #2 in Pearl City (and maybe #1 too, but I haven't been there). Thats all I can add to what you already know.
I can tell you one place where it certainly isn't. On a recent trip I had the fish tacos at 24/7 at the Hilton Waikiki. They were not like any fish taco I had before and not in a good way. If it hadn't been 10 at night and I was just off a mainland flight I would have sent them back. They werre served rolled like a buritto and with an extremely heavy sauce. I have had reasonable food there before but not this time and the waiter recommended them to boot.
There is an older thread, initiated by Eat Nopal, when he first moved to Hawai`i. There were some recs. in it (long thread), that might, or might not help you.
Having lived near, or in the US Southwest, I have had various versions of Mexican fare, and from many different states. Those dishes have varied by the location of origin, and though I have traveled fairly extensively in Mexico, have to admit that I am mostly a fan of good, rich Tex-Mex. Now, I live in Phoenix (more Sonoran and Bajan), but we do have some good Jalisco restaurants, and they do more for me, than the majority.
All of that said, I have to admit that Mexican fare is seldom on my list of "must-dos," when in Hawai`i. The best that I have found, has been Luibueno's in Haleiwa, on the North Shore. More Bajan, than my favored Tex-Mex, BUT well-done and flavorful. For us, it was Mexico meets Hawai`i, and we enjoyed it very much.
Track down Eat Nopal's thread, and read. He also went into some detail on what he was looking for, and how he graded things. Remember, Mexico is a large country, with many, many different cuisines, from Incan to the fare of two coasts, to the Texas, New Mexican, Arizona and California borders. They all differ, and differ greatly. Heck, each state has their own mole. Double-heck, each family, in each state, has their own mole!
Pretty much agree with Hunt on his major points. 1) Oahu is not a good place to find good Mexican food 2) There is a wide range of things people identify as Mexican. Growing up in northern California are the 'authentic roots' of what taco bell passes off as Mexican. What you find currently in authentic places in Los Angeles are very different, as is most Tex-Mex I have had. 3) Eat Nopal's thread is still good, although some places are gone, and others (Mexico and Torritos in particular) have really gone downhill since then.
Considering the popularity of the old Compadres in Ward Center I am convinced that people in Hawaii either don't know what 'real' mexican food is, or don't like it. Putting guacamole and sour cream on a burger does not make it a taco.
Azteca remains my favorite, but its not cheap. Rico's is preposterously inconsistent, ranging from really really good to OMG awful. Mexico tastes more and more like the food came out of the deep freeze, and Jose's is just plain bad - unless you want to have chips, salsa, and Margaritas.... they do a good job on those. El Burrito on Piikoi used to be really good, but I had a string of bad experiences there a decade ago (like the time I could taste the can in the enchilada sauce) and haven't been back since.

re: KaimukiMan
"Putting guacamole and sour cream on a burger does not make it a taco." A KMan classic! Been to Diego's #2 yet KMan?
re: Joebob
i need to put that on my list, thanks for the reminder joebob. is it different from #1? (which is a whole lot closer..) the yelp reviews are not encouraging, but i trust you more than them.... hehhe.
re: KaimukiMan
While I have not spent much time on Yelp, I have been greatly underwhelmed. Maybe this is such a time?
re: KaimukiMan
I've not been to #1; can't say.
re: KaimukiMan
You conjured up some memories and also some personal thoughts on Mexican food. If the restaurant has a "bottomless Margarita," there IS a reason - the food is not good, but after a pitcher, or two, who knows?
Now, I do love good Mexican food, and from many diverse states, but when in Hawai`i, other than maybe some influence in a dish, I am just not looking out for it. Same thing goes for San Francisco (though they may have some interesting Mexican) - just not what I am seeking.
If I head to San Diego, things change greatly, and if in San Antonio, guess what I am looking for? It's like the people, who head to New Orleans, and want an authentic Philly Cheesesteak. Well, those are about 1800 miles to the northeast - why not look for New Orleans cuisine, with Creole, some Deep South and maybe Cajun influences?
Now, you have to factor in that I am a tourist. Were I a local, I would view things a bit differently, as one might not want Pacific Rim, Hawai`ian or similar, every blinking night. Take my comments for what they are - a tourist in paradise.
re: KaimukiMan
Los Chaparros? Haven't been lately, but they were offering some reasonably good dishes last time I was there...the Mojo de Ajo and Chile Rellenos were what I liked best. One side of the menu is aimed at the Taco Bell crowd...burritos, tacos, etc, but the other side has things that Mexicans actually eat. Again, haven't been in a while, but at the time thought they were better than most of the other choices.
Los Chaparros
2140 S Beretania St, Honolulu, HI 96826
re: macaraca
i've never been to los chaparros, will have to check it out.
anyone been to la bamba on kapahulu, or tacos ricos, also on kapahulu?
a trend i noticed in nyc was that a lot of mexican places were owned and staffed by chinese people, but they were still very good. there was a restaurant that made a fantastic chicken stew taco that i still crave, even if it wasn't 'authentic' mex.
re: indelibledotink
la bamba closed about a year ago, long enough for two places to take it's place, not sure what's there now. Taco's Ricos I commented on above. I think it is discussed on one of the other threads. Is Maria Bonita still open downtown? it was pretty decent, but not wonderful.
I'm confused about macaraca's comment about things Mexicans actually eat. Seems like that would be saying that Burgers, Hot Dogs and French Fries aren't things Americans actually eat. Tacos and burritos are certainly not the full extent of Mexican cuisine, but they are certainly a part of it.

re: KaimukiMan
Maria Bonita does their truck in Kailua on days Camille's on Wheels is not at that corner (by Hardware Hawaii). They also opened on Kahuhipa St. in Kaneohe but I have not been. Friends have gone and were not so impressed. I'd go next door to Triple C's and get some of their fabulous BBQ.

re: KaimukiMan
tacos ricos has closed.
re: macaraca
sis and her fiance went to los chaparros yesterday and felt that the food wasn't seasoned enough. i tasted some of their beans and they needed a little salt and pepper; wasn't the best, but not bad. the jury's still out until i get some fresh food from there.
re: indelibledotink
I am not sorry to see mediocre Mexican disappearing. Is Serg's really the best Oahu has to offer? I'm sure it has a more diversified menu than Diego's, but is it better?
re: Joebob
i had either a burrito or taco at diego's in pearl city and it wasn't memorable at all. i remember being disappointed.
i was blown away by serg's in manoa's flauta. i really recommend them.
re: KaimukiMan
I totally agree with KaimukiMan...Azteca is the only decent mexican on Oahu. Pricey, but good. I am from East Los Angeles and it is difficult to find REALLY GOOD MEXICAN. Last night went to Azteca and I tried their carnitas. Was pretty good!
We are regulars at Azteca. Jose's is horrible. Mexico is worse (total bland, I was shaking every bottle of hot sauce they had all over my food). Anyone try Los Palenque in Wahiawa?
re: hawaiisrfn
Thanks hawaiisrfn, Azteca is very much the kind of mexican food I grew up with in California, real mexican for real mexicans, but not necessarily the kind of mexican food you find in mexico. it was old alta california mexican, authentic just as tex mex is authentic to where it evolved. One thing I really don't find in Hawaii is something akin to the 'new wave' of mexican food that you find in LA now at the taco trucks or 'hole in the wall' mexican restaurants that caters to the more recent immigrants. A very different take on mexican food from what I grew up with, but equally valid. Perhaps the closest here is Joebob's favorite, Diego's. Taco's Rico's tried, but missed the mark except on a rare good day.
re: KaimukiMan
i tried both Diego's Tacos 1 and 2...and very disappointed. Barely found any meat inside and also light sprinkle of cheese and it was mostly tortilla. Don't bother. Azteca is pricey,but at least it tastes good!
finally got to try out Serg's. went to the manoa restaurant. man, it was the best mexican food i've ever had. the taste was so fresh and alive, i couldn't believe it.
i had the flauta, which i had never had before. i recommend it, it's so delicate yet tasty. i don't know how to describe it well, but it was damn good.
only thing is the price; while none of the plates was over $10, i felt i could have eaten another one, although after a half hour, the feeling went away.
my sis said it was the best mex she's had outside of mexico.
re: indelibledotink
Went to Serg's Manoa for a simple dinner on a Sunday night. Had two tacos and a side of rice and beans...everything was good, and the rice and beans much better than I remembered from my previous visit. Pork carnitas tacos with chile verde sauce...really delicious, if messy. I'd love to take some older friends there for the food, but not sure how comfortable they would be eating with plastic forks off picnic tables in an old gas station and the apparent cleanliness to match.
re: macaraca
Ask them how they would feel.
a short drive from town is El Palenque Mexican Restaurant in Wahiawa. If you do a google search you will see they rate a pretty consistent 4.5 stars in reviews. The Midweek has rated them as "the best Mexican on the Island" for over 10 years straight! The looks from the outside is a little scary but do you want a pretty building or good food? I've tried most everything they have and have enjoyed the food. the salsa is a bit spicy but very good. I was introduced to this place by a Mexican friend from El Paso TX. (Now he should know REAL Mexican food). He said its the only place he'll eat mexican food while he's here.
You have to be willing to leave town to get good food on Oahu. Best Italian (Asagios) on the island is not in town but in Kapolei. Best Thai is in Hale'iwa (Opals Thai). You really have to understand that town food is for tourist and not for those that really know good food here on the island.
El Palenque
177 S Kamehameha Hwy, Wahiawa, HI 96786
re: markz129
Is El Palenque across the street from a furniture store?
Asagios is the best Italian? Is that widely acknowledged?
re: markz129
markz, glad to hear about el palenque, I've seen it for years when out that way but never gave it a second thought. I'll have to find an excuse to get out there someday.
I can't agree that you HAVE to leave town to get good food. A thai friend of mine says that PaeThai on King St. is the best Thai food on Oahu. While I don't deny that there is good food all over the island, its not all about tourists here in Honolulu, and places like Town, 3660, Salt, and several other top rated restaurants don't survive based on tourists, but on local people. On any given night even places like Alan Wong's and Mavro have more local people than tourists, and Roy didn't start his business in Hawaii Kai to cater to the tourist trade.
It's always good to see a new name in the Hawaii Board, hope to hear more from you, even if our opinions aren't always the same.
re: markz129
i will have to try it!
re: markz129
I have driven through Wahiawa and saw it many times..but from the looks of it outside, i wasnt sure about it. I will have to give it a try...Thanks for the review.
re: hawaiisrfn
I know this thread is about mexican,but i highly recommend Souvaly in Pearl city for thai on Kam Hwy, across the street from Zippys. For Italian, i recommend Paesano in Manoa or Waimalu..similar to Assagio's. ! Have great weekend!
had chicken enchilada combo plate at azteca today and was really disappointed. there was nothing special about it and the price was almost $13 for two small enchiladas, a scoop of rice, and a scoop of beans. the quality that was there in the past wasn't in the food anymore, and the price was jacked up.
i want to try el palenque, but aside from that, i think i will only eat at Serg's. their food was FRESH. el mariachi is alright too, but i am in love with serg's.
I finally tasted the offerings at Acapulco, 94-1040 Waipi'o Uka St. #14 in Waipi'o SC, 676-3438, some good, some not so good. The best was a carnitas taco, which was made on fresh tortillas, with lots of lightly smokey, jucy meat, covered with an onion and cilantro mixture. Not cheap, but worth the cost. Equivalent to Diego's #2. Also had an asada enchillada, pieces of grilled beef the size of baby fingers, tortilla-wrapped and smothered with a beefy red sauce. On the downside, I hadn't encountered a similar chille relleno before; I asked for a cheese filling, but found as much seeds as cheese inside of what I was served. Also, the outside was coated with what appeared to be a panko breading that somehow soaked up a lot of grease, but still managed to be chewy. To finish, the salsa is quite good and the chips were fresh, though not the thin kind I favor. The beans and rice both were excellent, the beans mostly creamy with occasional bean chunks, and the rice light and fluffy, though without adornment. There are only about 8 tables and the service was helpful, knowledgeable, and efficient. I'm very glad it is on Oahu's West half.
re: Joebob
FYI, Diego's closed....
re: fatstern
#2 too?
re: Joebob
think so....my buddy loved their burritos and was bummed to find out the one in town closed - he called the other one and i *think* confirmed they closed up too.
To date, now that Diego's (both? BOTH??) are no more, my three favorites are Luibueno's (for the best fish tacos on Oahu), El Palenque in Wahiawa (most authentic Mexican), and Serg's (2740 E. Manoa Rd., the best Mexican, but haven't tried the way-East branch).
El Palenque (tried Saturday): the menudo was too watery, but with lots of chopped onion and cilantro, the posole-tripe combo made a reasonably hearty meal. The mole sauce was TOO SWEET, way too sweet. But the ambiance really gave me that Mexico feeling. Looking into the kitchen , watching my carnitas being grilled, can't be beat. The pinto beans tasted of bacon fat and the rice was reasonably fluffy. Not cheap, but worth the drive from the West side.
At Serg's (tried this afternoon), I was most impressed by the meats and the rice. Finally, meats in chunks, not the Mexican equivalent of laab. And the pork was RIGHT, not tasting suspiciously like kalua. The beans were black, which was nice, and nicely greasy, and the rice must have been cooked in broth, which made them the best Mex. rice around, though a bit sticky), And the tortillas were corn without my being asked or having to ask. The fish taco was good, but not as good as Luibueno's. Alternative opinions welcome.
re: Joebob
El Palenque was good the 3-4 times I went, but it's been years since I tried it. Go to El Mariachi in Kaneohe, call beforehand and make sure Palermo is cooking thay day, and then request "un menudo pinche autentico del famoso buey Palermo".....hands down the single best mexican dish on Oahu.
re: szfoster
i def want to try el palenque but am hardly out in wahiawa.
i do like el mariachi but haven't tried many of their items.
serg's manoa is still the best mex i have ever had. got a double order of chicken flautas on saturday. good stuff.
re: indelibledotink
I used to love eating chicken flautas (and enchiladas verdes) as a kid, but it's been 25 years since I had an excellent plate of flautas...I will try this Serg's very soon, though I am headed to Austin next month and have a Sunday brunch reservation at Fonda San Miguel--- yummy pics: http://www.fondasanmiguel.com/menu/ga...
re: indelibledotink
been to and appreciated Serg's Manoa several times....i hit up the Serg's in 'nalo for the first time on saturday, shared an order of chicken tostadas (one of my faves there) and a carne asada taco. the tostadas (2) are a crispy corn tortilla, generous serving of their delish black beans, chicken stewed in a tomato/chipotle sauce, topped with onion, queso fresco, and crema. unlike tostadas at most joints around here, its about the tasty stewed meat and beans, rather than a pile of crappy gray shredded iceberg and unripe tomato. there's a little iceberg on the side as a garnish at serg's, adds a little texture. and the carne asada taco was damn good. simple simple. loaded with smallish diced carne asada, topped with onions, cilantro. super flavorful (especially with their awesome hot avo salsa). nice to see they're maintaining quality out at the new spot. love serg's, so not worth messing around with other mexican joints, though i'll try to remember to hit el palenque next time i'm headed home from north shore.
also, the fish dish with the tropical salsa at el mariache in kaneohe is pretty tasty, and if i remember correctly, i think you get what you pay for with this one, generous serving. dont remember their beans and rice being anything special, though.

From the editor's desk :-
Dear Do-Re-Me-Fa browsers,
After a short break, I am back here again to present to you with one more melodious chord of Konkanni music. It really gives me great joy to note your keen interest to browse this unique Konkanni music column and I remain indebted to you for your strong support and encouragement.
After presenting my earlier beautiful chords. I am overjoyed to present to you another melodious chord of music, a great star of Konkann skies, a personality filled with choicest talents, 'master of all and jack of none!' A great compere, writer, journalist, play-right, actor, composer and a singer. He is the composer of most popular hits like 'Thjea Sobhith Thea Dhon Dolle', 'Gori Gori Gai', 'Swapnneli', 'Shirley' and so on. He is none other than the one and only MICK-MAX!
Down the memory lane, I still remember when I used to attend Wilfy Nites as a child. I was a great fan of 'jumping jack' Shri Mick-Max who compered the first 25 Wilfy Nites. I had a great desire to become like him to conduct shows with total enthusiasm and with perfect entertainment. Gradually I also developed as a compere under him and if at all someone passes an appreciative comment regarding my performance as a compere indeed the credit should go to my 'guru' Shri Mick-Max. I never expected that one day I would be privileged to have a close-knit friendship with this great Konkann star. I never even dreamt that both of us would land in the same parish of Ruwi where we together contributed our efforts to begin to celebrate the 'Monti Fest' in the traditional style in this alien land and to found a greatly acclaimed 'Mangalorean Catholic Centre of the Parish (M.C.C.P.)' the one and only existing Konkanni association in Oman.
I feel proud to present to you this wonderful chord of Shri Mick-Max and I am sure you'll enjoy reading an exclusive interview with this great personality. On behalf of all his fans, I wish Shri Mick-Max the very best in life. May our dear Konkanni mathaa grow richer through his unique talents.
Once again I thank you for your love and great support.
Always yours,
Gerry D'Mello
'MICK-MAX' - The prolific & versatile Konkanni star
Michael Maxim D'Souza, well known in the Konkanni world by his pen name "Mick-Max", was solemnly felicitated on 29th May 2003 for his contribution to Konkanni literature and music by the "Konkanni Kutaam", Bahrain. On his way back home from Bahrain, he had a brief, nostalgic stay at Muscat where he had lived and worked for over two decades until May 1999. Being his old time friend and confidant, I had a great opportunity for a tête-à-tête interview with him. The following are the extracts of the interview.
Mick-Max during one of the first 25 Wilfy Nites
Q : Dear Micky, for the benefit of our 'Do-Re-Me-Fa' column browzers, could you enlighten us with some information about your childhood and education?
A : I was born on 13th April 1950 at Bajpe, Mangalore Diocese and later we settled in Bejai, Mangalore. Currently I'm stationed at Urwa with my family. My father is Paul and my mother is Florine D'Souza. We are 3 sisters and 5 brothers and I am the eldest. My wife is Joyce and I have two children, a girl named Karishma Michelle and a boy named Karan Russel. I had my early education at Canara High School (Main), and acquired a B.A. degree through St.Aloysius Evening College, Mangalore. Later, I did a Journalism Diploma Course at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Mangalore.

Roughly nine months prior to graduation and commissioning, it all changed.
Our guest for the full hour to discus the journey, acts, and experiences of the United States Naval Academy Class of 2002 will be Graham Plaster, a member of the class of 2002 and one of the editors of the book - In the Shadow of Greatness: Voices of Leadership, Sacrifice, and Service from America's Longest War.

When John Elway took the podium on Wednesday to being his tenure as the Executive VP of Football Operations for the Denver Broncos, he wasn't shy about taking on some touchy subjects. On the other hand, John Elway has rarely been shy about too much of anything.
He talked at length about things like integrity and dedication, about the unique relationship that the Broncos have with their fans, and how his new position is something that he's looked forward to for a long time. He's already hit the ground running, with 25-minute meetings with each of the incumbent assistant coaches. The coaches had already been required to do their year-end player analyses, and Elway wanted their input on the players as much as he wanted to get up to speed on who, on the staff and on the roster, he might consider suggesting the next head coach keep. But Elway also made it clear that GM Brian Xanders will handle personnel decisions for the most part, and the head coach will provide his own input.
Over the last several weeks of analyzing Tim Tebow's throws, I've come to believe he is already making great strides in his pre-snap reads.
This shouldn't have come as much of a surprise. After all, Urban's Meyer's offense at Florida was, in part, predicated by reading both safeties and their position relative to the line of scrimmage. When Josh McDaniels (hiss!) said that Tebow and he were at the whiteboard for hours upon meeting, he wasn't lying (no one knows if Brian Xanders was informed of the whiteboard incident). Tebow wasn't completely green at reading defenses pre-snap like many college quarterbacks are.
But unfortunately for quarterbacks, the defense rarely stands still after the snap of the ball. What first appears like an outside linebacker blitz is actually a zone coverage to the flat. What appears like middle-zone coverage is actually a delayed linebacker blitz.
Last week the Chargers did some interesting things post-snap to confuse our hero. We'll take a look at one such play today in The Playbook Abides. This will help us gauge Tebow's continued growth and development.
Happy Friday, Broncos fans! It was an eventful day for Denver yesterday, but it doesn't seem like anything that happened is actually good for the Broncos. Andrew Luck is staying at Stanford, which decreases the value of Denver's #2 overall pick. Jim Harbaugh is likely out of the picture after turning down the Dolphins and is now apparently the subject of a bidding war between Stanford and the Niners.
Mark Mike Mularkey has told the Broncos to go scratch he's too busy to talk to them now, although he does have time to meet with the Browns. Gregg Williams says he hasn't yet heard from Denver, although they wouldn't be able to meet until the Saints' season ends, anyway. So the Broncos are going to meet with Perry Fewell and Eric Studesville on Sunday, and as of now that is it.
Well, maybe this wasn't so bad a chain of events. While it would be nice for the Broncos to have a new HC ASAP, perhaps it's best that John Elway's first coach hiring takes more than a week or two. After all, what's more important here - finding a new coach quickly, or finding the best man for the job? In his chat session yesterday, Andrew Mason surmised that Denver would wait to speak with Williams, as long as some other candidate didn't "knock their socks off."
The top of the 2011 Draft has suddenly lost some of its glitz as Stanford QB Andrew Luck has reportedly decided to return to school for his junior year. Luck has been tabbed a consensus #1 pick and a once-in-a-generation QB by many, but what he will not be called in 2011 is a Carolina Panther or Denver Bronco. Well, at least we can move on from that discussion...
Yesterday, my senses failed.
I thought I was ready. I told myself I wasn't going lose my perspective just because the greatest Bronco of all time was now given the position of lower deity at Dove Valley. I was ready to watch the entire spectacle with a critical eye. I would not be fooled by the glitz and glamor of Elway's five Super Bowl appearances.
But then something happened. Elway stood up and showed enough enthusiasm to light the building on fire. He even said the magic words, "Mile High Stadium."
It was a pure mindfreak: a supernatural occurrence beyond comprehension.
I lost all perspective and objectivity. Hours later, drunk off the euphoria of hearing Elway talk about the championship days, I still couldn't bring myself to rational thinking.
I turned on the radio; I wasn't the only one.
Because he
is pissed that John Elway referred to him as Mark reportedly doesn't want to be distracted from the Falcons' playoff run, Atlanta OC Mike Mularkey will not interview for the Broncos' vacant head coaching position tomorrow night. While ESPN's Adam Schefter cites a source who says Mularkey would be interested in interviewing after his team is eliminated from the playoffs, it's likely a moot point as Denver's coaching search is expected to take only a week or two. Either way, this decision should make it quite clear that Mularkey isn't really that interested in coaching the Broncos. Hopefully it wasn't yesterday's verbal slippages by Elway that made him feel that way...(thanks, ButteBronco!)
UPDATE 12:48PM ET - According to Lindsay Jones, Mularkey is still taking his interview with Cleveland; so his excuse for canceling on Denver is pretty much rendered invalid. Meanwhile, Saints DC Gregg Williams will not be available for interview while New Orleans is still alive in the playoffs. So, either the list of potential coaches is shrinking, or the Broncos' search is going to stretch out a bit longer than the original 1 or 2 weeks Elway had cited...
Good Morning, Broncos fans! John Elway was introduced yesterday as the new EVP of Football Ops - in case you missed it, or the sound dropped out of it yesterday (like it did for me), watch the presser here - Part 1 and Part 2. In speaking for almost an hour, Elway covered what he's seeking in a new head coach (offensive or defensive background matters not), the future of Tim Tebow (he's still unproven) and Champ Bailey (his status is up in the air), the new power structure at Dove Valley (Elway will be the tiebreaker between Brian Xanders and the HC), why he wanted the job (he loves the Broncos, and he's competitive) and how he'll be performing it (in a very hands-on manner). Best thing Elway said? "I know what I don't know," although that was followed up by a puzzling "I will find out what I don't know as fast as I possibly can." Hopefully, John's self-awareness means the Broncos will be run sans hubris going forward.
As of now, Elway & Co. will interview Falcons OC
Mark Mike Mularkey on Friday and Giants DC Perry Fewell and former Broncos interim coach Eric Studesville on Sunday. Elway said the Broncos are interested in speaking with Jim Harbaugh about the job, although it sounds like the Dolphins are making a big push for his services.
UPDATE 11:20AM ET - The Broncos have posted a full transcript of yesterday's presser - it probably took that long to compile it...
UPDATE 11:58AM ET - ESPN will broadcast their documentary "Tim Tebow: Everything in Between" tonight at 7PM ET and will re-air it at midnight ET on ESPN2.
Watch here as the Broncos introduce John Elway as their Executive VP of Football Operations at the bottom of the hour, and share your reactions here...
UPDATE 3:51PM ET - Giants OC and former Bills interim coach Perry Fewell will interview for the Broncos' job on Sunday
In looking at the offense over the past couple of weeks, and mostly watching the film of the Chargers game, there was something awfully familiar about the play of Tim Tebow. What I'm referring to may surprise a lot of people - I don't mean his college career or tendencies, although they certainly play into this. I'm thinking of things much older, really. While reviewing Sunday's game - the second half in particular - I noticed something that may be helpful to the Broncos over time.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. When Tebow was lined up in a classic T formation, one running back short of the old T that Chicago used to beat the Redskins in the most lopsided championship in history, 72-0, the line usually blocked straight on. In modern times, of course, it's just called a 'pro set', and the QB has a running back on either side (one may be a fullback). When they lined up and had Zane Beadles pull after the snap, it was designed as a running play. With Tebow keeping a fair number of them (I apologize - I haven't had time to count them exactly, although I'll get into greater detail as the offseason wears on), he's running in a system that has similarities to the old single wing offense. The ball is snapped, and in this case, we do know who's going to get it, which is the modern approach.
Good Morning, Broncos fans! John Elway is officially a member of the Denver Broncos again, having signed a contract last night that makes him the organization's Executive VP of Football Operations. Woody Paige was apparently given an exclusive interview with Elway last night after the contract was finalized. Elway said,
This is all I've really wanted to do since I retired as a player. Football has been my life. I've waited for years, but the timing is perfect. The stars are aligned.
Additionally, Elway stated that Brian Xanders will in fact "be responsible for most of the personnel decisions, the scouting, the draft," and that the search for a new head coach is expected to be completed within a week or two. Elway cited an odd-sounding "study" Xanders performed of previous NFL coaches to placate the folks calling for the hiring of a head coach with a background in defense. Elway said of Tim Tebow,
I was impressed with what he did in the last three games, considering how few reps and plays in games before that, but the questions now are can he translate that grit, the winning attitude, that athletic ability into maturing into a great quarterback on the pro level.
According to Paige, the Broncos will seek permission to interview Saints DC Gregg Williams and Giants DC (and former Bills interim coach) Perry Fewell in addition to Mike Mularkey and Eric Studesville, and that there will be more candidates added in the next day or two. Elway says he did not have an opportunity to speak with Jim Harbaugh about the coaching job at Monday night's Orange Bowl.
UPDATE 10:05AM ET - According to denverbroncos.com, Elway will be introduced at a 1:30PM MT press conference which the team's site will stream live. We'll have an open thread here on IAOFM for your commentary.

Head Constable Maheelal Meena's complaint was not accepted at the police station following which he approached his seniors
A Delhi court on Thursday asked the city's Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) to report to it by December 1 as to what action was taken on a traffic policeman's complaint alleging harassment against two judicial officers following his act of challaning the brother of one of them.
Metropolitan Magistrate Neeraj Gaur called for the action-taken report after Head Constable Maheelal Meena, a law graduate, submitted that he had gone to the police station concerned to lodge a complaint, which was not accepted, following which he pursued the matter with his senior officers.
His lawyer, Satya Prakash Sharma, told the court that Subzi Mandi police had refused to register an FIR based on his client's complaint that various Indian Penal Code offences like public servant disobeying law, obstructing public servant in discharge of public functions, criminal intimidation, defamation and criminal conspiracy were committed against him. Mr. Sharma told the court that a police probe was needed in the matter as call detail records would have to be accessed.
In his complaint, Maheelal said that on June 14 this year he had challaned the brother of a Commercial Civil Judge-cum-Additional Rent Controller for not wearing a helmet while riding a scooter in East Delhi. He alleged that the brother called the judge who ordered that the violator be spared. Maheelal alleged that his immediate superior took him to see the judge after which he was forced to pay the fine of Rs.100 for the violator and also return the driving licence at the judge's brother's house.
The complainant alleged that the same day a Metropolitan Magistrate summoned him to his home and directed Maheelal's superior, a traffic inspector, to depute him to his court for duty from June 21. Maheelal claimed he went on leave from June 21 to 25 and then on June 26 he was forced to do the job of calling in violators at the entry to the court and thus made to "work as a peon" on June 26, 27, and 28, while his juniors did jobs while seated on chairs.
Maheelal said he refused to report for court duty on June 30 after informing his superior and was marked absent for the day. He alleged that as a result of the "partial, disgraceful, illegal and unjustified behaviour and derogatory remarks" of the two judicial officers he was "hurt, harassed, compelled and depressed" and had to visit the hospital for treatment on July 3 and 4. He said that on July 9 he gave a written complaint about the acts of the two judicial officers to his senior officers who sent the complaint to the Registrar-General, Delhi High Court, on July 17 but till date neither the police nor the Delhi High Court had intimated him of any action taken so far.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 BMW X3
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.7
BMW doesn't want you to mistake its X3 for an SUV. This 5-passenger compact utility vehicle is, according to the German automaker, an SAV, for "sports-activity vehicle." It's tempting to sneer at that marketing lingo, but one drive in the 2013 BMW X3 proves this isn't just hype. In a segment that has grown since the X3's introduction in 2004 with an onslaught of luxury rivals like the Mercedes-Benz GLK, Audi Q5, Acura RDX, Cadillac SRX and Infiniti EX, the X3 stands out with a dynamic nature that makes it feel more like a sports sedan than a cumbersome SUV. After a recent refresh, the 2013 X3 is more fuel-efficient thanks to a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that replaces the larger, thirstier 6-cylinder of past base models. For those who seek more power, a turbo 6-cylinder is still available.
If you're looking for a premium carryall that truly puts the "sport" in sport-utility vehicle, the 2013 X3 is hard to beat. With AWD standard, the X3 is also a good choice for drivers who need extra traction in inclement weather.
Aesthetically, the 2013 X3 isn't as viscerally exciting as some competitors. The iDrive command module and gearshift lever may confuse some drivers, and when optioned up the X3 can reach around $60,000. Here, even paint colors cost extra unless you're okay with non-metallic black or white.
2013 sees the introduction of a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that replaces the naturally aspirated (non-turbo) inline-6 in past xDrive28i models. Although this engine is smaller, it creates the same amount of horsepower and more torque than the former 6-cylinder engine, while attaining better fuel economy: up to 28 mpg on the highway.
Driving Impressions The first thing you notice about the 2013 BMW X3 when you press the accelerator pedal? It's fast. And that swiftness isn't just reserved for the more powerful engine. Even...the base 4-cylinder can propel this vehicle from 0-60 mph in the mid-6-second range. Step up to the more powerful 6-cylinder, put the transmission into the second of two "sport" modes, and you're looking at the same sprint taking place in the 5-second range, comparable to a sports car. In the real world, this translates to effortless on-ramp sprints and prodigious passing power. But speed and agility in corners aren't the only high points here. The X3 is also a comfortable, quiet vehicle that eases the rigors of long commutes. Purists may decry the lack of a manual-transmission option, but we take solace in the buttery smooth 8-speed automatic that's standard.
With the newly installed turbo 4-cylinder engine, those two traits are no longer mutually exclusive. This bulldog of a powerplant easily propels the AWD X3, yet the BMW still attains up to 28 mpg.
From the metallic, sliding cargo hooks in the hull to the available wood-grain trim up front, the 2013 X3 is one polished vehicle.
Clean interior design and today's technology are easy friends in the 2013 X3. Indeed, fine materials and lots of gee-whiz tech are in no shortage here, but keep in mind that they'll likely cost extra. That means if you want the Fineline Wave Wood trim, heated front seats or, yes, just leather instead of "Leatherette" upholstery, you'll have to check off the options boxes. If you're prepared for the extra costs, though, it's easy to appreciate the X3's comfortable amenities. Most functions work well, but the jet-fighter gear shifter and iDrive command module can still prove baffling. Rear legroom is adequate and the seat folds for added cargo space.Exterior
Rounded sheetmetal and athletic creases define the BMW X3's outer suit. A head-on view presents a rather sinister vehicle with BMW's familiar grille. The sides and rear of the 2013 X3 are more conservative yet still attractive thanks in no small part to deep side creases that stretch from the front wheel arches to the taillights. These lines give the X3 an athletic stance and visually split the car into parts, akin to what a good belt does with the right pair of slacks. In back are twin tailpipes tucked neatly beneath the lower-left bumper and minimal badging.
A base 2013 BMW X3 xDrive28i comes with AWD, 8-way power front seats, automatic climate control, power-operated tailgate, rain-sensing wipers, and 12-speaker/205-watt audio system with AM/FM/CD player with HD Radio and auxiliary input. The higher-trim xDrive35i model has a more powerful 6-cylinder engine, xenon headlights and panoramic moonroof. Like other new, 2013 BMWs, the X3 comes with complimentary maintenance for the first four years or 50,000 miles. Roadside assistance is offered for the first four years, with no mileage stipulation.
Options are aplenty when it comes to configuring a 2013 X3. But keep in mind that some features require packages that cost thousands of dollars. Among the add-ons available are leather seating, navigation system, heated front and rear seats, a 40/20/40 folding rear seat, heated steering wheel and lane-departure warning. For audio buffs, a 16-speaker, 600-watt sound system is available. Those seeking better performance can opt for packages that tighten the handling and employ larger wheels. Speaking of wheels, specialized BMW M 20-inch varieties are available, but can cost up to $6,000.
The base engine in a 2013 BMW X3 is a turbocharged 4-cylinder that makes 240 horsepower – the same figure as the outgoing 6-cylinder. In the higher-trim xDrive35i is a 300-horsepower 6-cylinder. Both are connected to a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission (a manual transmission is not available), and offer all-wheel drive as standard. To conserve fuel, the 2013 X3 features automatic engine start/stop, which shuts down the engine when the vehicle is stopped and instantly restarts it when the driver's foot is lifted from the brake pedal. Premium gasoline is recommended for both engines.
2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4
240 horsepower @ 5,000 rpm

"The car is a blast to drive. Handling is excellent, performance is near the top of the pack for this catagory, gas milage is good (average about 22 mpg). It sits high enough that my wife and I, in our 60's can get in and out easily. Outstanding transmission. Might replace the run flat tires with regular tires for improved ride, which is a bit on the firm side. Only criticism is the AC which could be a bit stronger. Plenty of back seat room and rear storage is good. Has the best headlights of any car I have ever owned; will burn the paint off stop signs. Not a car for someone who wants a posh ride like a Lexus or Cadillac, but made for the driving enthusists. We picked the car up at the factory in South Carolina and the factory gave us the VIP treatment, spending a day showing us the capabilities of the car. So far no problems with this car. Would buy it again!"

"Traded in a 2013 Ford Edge Ecoboost for the 2015 X3, same horsepower numbers, entirely different driving experience. Ordered the vehicle from my local BMW dealer and got it exactly the way I wanted (M Sport package, Premium package, Nav system, driver's assistance package, Harmon Kardon audio), had to wait almost 3 months, due to ordering right when the 2015 became available. First impressions are very good, have had the vehicle for slightly over 3 months. Handling is great for a near mid-size SUV, it corners like a 3 series sedan. Acceleration is very good in Sport mode (acceptable in Comfort mode as well and it saves on fuel), no discernible turbo lag, the 4 cylinder is a great engine. Have taken it on a long family trip and returned an average of 25-28 mpg (this is with a full cargo hold of luggage). Cargo space was more that adequate for 3 people and their luggage (along with all the stuff a 4 year old drags with). The M Sport seats are worth their weight in gold, no fatigue even from 12 hour stints in the vehicle. This is my first luxury brand car (not my first German vehicle) and I am very pleased with it. Depending on how this vehicle holds up reliability wise, I may become a BMW buyer from here on out. (Side note: I am a female, but a car nerd, and horsepower and handling matter more to me than the amount of cup holders or vanity mirrors)."

"I was lucky to find a low-mileage, used X3 with an odd configuration: no bells and whistles except just what I wanted: climate package and navigation, plus roof rails for my crossbars. That's all I wanted beyond the beautifully tuned 6-cylinder classic BMW engine and the 8-speed transmission that I think make this car special. I love driving this car, especially on winding, rural roads in the places in the northeast that I visit regularly. Aside from one major repair to a steering component, there have so far been no repairs -- just routine maintenance. I do think the extended service warranty to 100,000 miles, expensive as it is, may be worth it because, when a BMW starts getting older it gets much more expensive to take care of out of warranty. I'm lucky to own one of the last 6-cylinder xDrive28i cars. It should become a classic."

"I owned a 2011 X3. I was in the market to traded in for a sporty car. I considered Fusion, Edge, Murano, VW CC, Touareg, Volvo S60, V60, XC60, Q5, GLK, and X5. I wanted to maximize Utility, Quality, Performance, and Efficiency out of my budget. In conclusion, I, again, choose 2015 X3, now with M sport look. Value: I traded in my 2011 X3 on June 2014 at 53.6% of original MSRP. I think that is not bad. Driving Dynamics: No doubt, every professional car reviewer agrees BMW has best overall driving dynamics. X3 is one good example of it. Reliability: I owned my first X3 for more than 3 years. I never paid any maintenance, fixing, etc.... Never have any problem. This is one big reason why I want BMW again. Interior : Thanks to the LCI treatment for 2015 model, I am sure BMW has the best interior material quality of the segment. Exterior: this is the part I love my car the most. I have been dreaming to get a M sport Package BMW for years. Finally, I drive one now. Quality: Some said GLK has best built quality of segment. I said X3 is not any worse than GLK. Comfort & Convenience: X3 has best cargo space of the segment, so I don't need to put further explanation. My wife love the comfortable sport seat and minimal wind noise. At 80 MPH, the wind noise is still very low. In conclusion, how to define a car of your dream? I think it is that every morning you get ready to work. You go to garage about to drive. You see your car and you feel this is going to be a wonderful day. That is how I feel. By the way, thanks to its diesel engine, I average 32.3 MPG on my entire 2500 miles. I am very happy at this result."

"My husband bought me the 2014 X3 in June of 2013 to replace my X5 which is one of the only advantages of the X3. It's a lot smaller than the X5 which I always felt as if I was driving a massive truck. The size of the X3 is much more reasonable. Clearly this car is not for me. I'm a stay-at-home mother and I put a whopping 6k miles on it in 14 months. Unlike my husband, who loves and appreciates high-end, expensive German cars, I just don't. Maybe it's a "guy" think but I just feel it's a LOT of money to spend, especially when I don't need a car of this caliber for my personal driving habits/needs. But I kind of question who really does. I know I sound ungrateful but it's just too much for me and I often feel uncomfortable in certain situations with having the BMW logo on it. To me, it can give off an air of entitlement and that might be my issue but I think the opposite can be true. Some buy this car and spend the amount of money precisely because it has the BMW logo. OK, about the car. It i IS a comfortable drive and got me through a pretty bad winter with a ton of blizzards and I never got stuck or had any problem driving up our VERY steep and long driveway or skidding, etc. so it's a safe care! I'll give it that! And it gets MUCH better gas mileage than my old X5 (but it is a lot smaller). But the number of "features" are overwhelming and made "worse" by having many accessible from both the steering wheel AND on other buttons on the dashboard, middle console, etc. The number of unncessary features along with this duplication makes me feel as if I am flying some large commercial airplane. I'm sure there are some features I'm not even aware of but one example of a "not-at-all" needed in my mind is the blinker options. You want to change lanes and you somehow "know" that you only need three "blinks" to signal the driver into whose lane you are entering? You can use the standard blinker and just flip it off when you've changed lanes BUT you can also push a small button on the steering wheel that will automatically turn off the blinker after 3 blinks AND that same feature is also on the dashboard. Honestly? It just results in a car which has a massive amount of buttons that I just can't imagine most drivers using. I feel it's more of a way to justify the expense than adding any benefit. But I'm just a Girl so what do I know? I do know that a week after I got it in June of 2013 and had 300 miles on it, a 19-year-old hit me with his old pickup in a parking lot on the passenger side of the car (don't ask why he drove perpendicularly into me). He wasn't traveling at a high speed at all so his truck didn't have a scratch but the body design of the X3 sides is one long, continuous piece from the very front to the back so the entire side of the car had to be replaced. And since I had picked a new color that was never offered before and since I had also gotten the very first shipment, there was a delay in getting the paint so my car was in the body shop for 3 weeks. I'll stop. You realize you are reading a review from a middle-age woman who considers a car more of a commodity and doesn't appreciate what some might. We own the car so I'll keep it maybe for one more winter and then I'm trading it in and choosing what I feel I need and I bet I MAKE money off the whole deal."

"This vehicle is amazing. I like the fact that I was able to custom order my vehicle at no additional cost. I had to wait a month before it was delivered but it was worth it. I opted for the xdrive 35i over the 28 and I'm glad I did. This thing screams. It has on the move drive modes so I can switch between comfort and sport which I believe engages the turbo. It also changes the shift ranges of the transmission. My daily driver is a 2007 Infiniti M45. When I compare driving pleasures, I think that the X3 without question is faster on take off because you can feel the all wheel drive of the X3 pulling but the V8 of the M45 pens you to the seat. Both have the ability for burnouts. That is both from standstill and roll.But I think the M45 would take the X3 in a head to head. I also opted for the painted trim. Money if you ask me well spent."

The UCLA School of Nursing is a nursing school affiliated with UCLA, and is located in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. The school is in the Factor Building on the UCLA campus, adjacent to the UCLA Medical Center. The current dean of the school is Courtney Lyder, ND, GNP, FAAN. The previous dean was Marie Cowan, PhD, RN, FAAN, who died in 2008.
The UCLA School of Nursing was founded in 1949 as one of the professional schools of the UCLA Center for the Health Science, authorized by The Regents of the University of California. In 1950, the school offered an undergraduate program in nursing, Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree. A year later in 1951, a graduate program the Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Nursing was offered. An alternative to the Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Nursing, the Master of Nursing (M.N.) degree was available in 1966. Three years later in 1969, the Master of Science degree was cancelled. In 1986, The Regents of the University of California approved the Doctor of Nursing Science (D.N.Sc.) degree, and in 1987 the first doctoral students were admitted. In 1996, the Office of the President proposed a change in the designation of the master's degree from M.N. to Master of Science in Nursing (M.S.N.). Previously in 1995, The Regents also approved a change in the doctoral degree designation from D.N.Sc. to Ph.D. in Nursing. A revision of the B.S. program curriculum was made in 1997, mostly to accommodate the needs of students who were licensed nurses with Associate of Science (A.S.) degrees, or had a diploma in nursing. In 2006 the school brought back a pre-licensure Bachelor of Science (B.S.) program in which prospective Nursing students who met the required admission requirements were allowed admission at the freshman level. The master's entry clinical nurse (MECN)/pre-licensure program option within the M.S.N. degree program also began. This program is designed for pre-licensure students who have earned their bachelor's degree in another subject. The UCLA School of Nursing is approved by the Undergraduate and Graduate Councils of the Academic Senate of the University of California at Los Angeles. The pre-licensure (BS-G and MECN) and master's programs in advanced practice are approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing. In 2001, the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) accredited the existing bachelor's and master's degree programs for a term of 10 years. The University of California, Los Angeles holds Western Association of Schools and Colleges accreditation.

Free Range Pork
Free Range Pork
Our superb naturally reared free range pork is known for its superior flavour, succulence and superb crackling.
We rear traditional robust rare breed sows including Gloucester Old Spot and Saddleback, which are crossed with our Duroc and Gloucester Old Spot boars to get the right combination of flavour and texture, without too much fat.
Our pigs live happily outside where they can root and display natural behaviour to their hearts content in a rotation of paddocks with access to straw lined pig arcs when they wish. Our sows tend to farrow in these arcs where they make a nest. Our piglets stay with their mother until they are 8 weeks old when they are weaned and put into their own paddock as a family group. All our breeds are slow maturing so they stay on the farm until they are about 5 and 8 months old when we take the pigs ourselves to the small family run abattoir.
Although we try to keep our pigs outside all year if the weather dictates we may bring them in to the shelter of our large, airy, straw lined barn in the winter months where they can root about in the straw and have plenty of room. This is to protect the pigs, but also prevents the erosion of our clay top soil. The topography of our farm combined with the Cumbrian weather is truly magnificent but it does present its challenges.
