Thanks to you Vegasbound and Hurricane Mikey,

I'll try at least 50% of your favorites in September, 67 days to go!

I really enjoy reading everyones stories it seems to make the waiting time go by.

We will have some newbies with us this year so I thought I'd get some advice from you pros!

Thanks a million, and hope you win one too!

My two favorites are Nikki Lee's, a sportsbar on Sunset, and Mi Coco, a little hole in the wall Michoacan place at Pecos and Tropicana. muy bueno.

I've heard a couple of people say they like Nikki Lee's on Sunset...it's really close to my house, so I think I'm gonna have to give it a try next week.

Howzie, Any idea if Bonito Michoacan on Decatur has the same owners/food? I noticed the restaurant a couple weeks ago and it looked like a place worth trying.

From what I've heard, the owners of Bonito are the owners of Viva Michoacan. I think Mi Coco is just a little freestanding place.
