Altiro


Altiro is the first place that will be blogged about on the return of the Mysterious Diner. This restaurant is Mexican restaurant and is one of Geneva’s three places that I would educe (think) of as the best Mexican food holders. It is quite interesting how Geneva of all places has become one of the best Mexican food hot spots in the whole midwest. Anyway on to the meal, the food is set up to be ordered up almost in courses with where you will order one or two small dishes here and there until you are to the point  where you can almost not move because the food is so good. But in any of these restaurants, try not to turn out like the Dame of Fayel who was served something that she claimed was the most amazing delectable thing that she ever ate. She went to bed that night and woke up claiming that nothing that she will ever eat will be anywhere like that ever again. So in the name of all taking things a step (or in her case several dozen) to far the decided that she would never eat again, and yes when I said never she never ate ever again (seems like a little overreactive now doesn’t it?) So the meal starts with a plate of house made chips and you can order guacamole with fruit mixed into it. The type of fruit changes every day but my favorite was when there is mango. The interesting part of the restaurant is how the meals are set up witch I talked about earlier. First I order the attune which is tuna on a house made almost little saucer of a chip. The tuna has a delectable sause drizzled over it and is finished off with some herbs on the top of it. Another thing that I normally order is the corn although it has a fancier name. I know what you might be thinking now, why corn it is something that I should order, can’t I get that anywhere? I know that I sound crazy but what is interesting is that it is true. Every person that I have recommended that to looks at me like I am crazy then tries it and understands. I will try to explain it even though it might not come through well. So it is a base of roasted corn that is spread onto the plate. The corn is covered in a small amount of cheese and just the right amount of sour cream is spread outer it in a zigzagged line. Then the corn is tossed in a spice so it is seasoned with just the right kick. So this review of the corn that I just did might not be the best so please go to the restaurant so I don’t look as crazy as I do now because it is really worth it  There are many other meal opportunities such as the papas, which is fried potato sticks with two types of spices drizzled over the top of it which add the spicy factor. But just as a warning this dish is amazing but I would be careful if catchup is your flaming death hot sauce. Now with the meals that I have focused on and the numerous other dishes it may seem that younger children might have a harder time finding things that look good on the menu but is really isn’t. One thing that might be a problem solver is the quesadia there which is four small quesadias which can have chicken or beef added to it. Now I didn’t tell you this because it isn’t on the menu but it can be asked for if specially requested. I have stopped giving one through five star reviews because anything on this blog would be rated five star by any other blog. So thank you try to visit this amazing restaurant and spread the word about this blog.

Thank You, 
Your loyal blogger

The Return of The Mysterious Diner


Hello I am the mysterious diner who is back now sorry about the lapse in time that there has been from my first intro to this one but I have been trying to find new places to write about. So, replenished with more topics I am back and ready for more, consider this post my return to the world of the blog. I am still focusing on where people should eat and where if they do they might keel over. Some rules will be changed like I would love for readers to give a star rating themselves. Also with things changing I am sorry if you might need a dictionary. I ended up getting a book of strange words which are longer than the ones that I was about to put down before I decided to make things more complicated. So sorry for any complications that the words on this gustatory blog brings. (By the way to save the traffic on dictionary.com that is pertaining to the sense of taste and before about thirty second ago I had no idea that a word like this ever existed.) But as I was saying before my little rant there was that there would be most of the same things to. I am keeping that I will only rate on smaller nicer chains or single restaurants or ones that only have a few partners. So basically McDonalds or Burger King will not ever be found on this blog, because the whole reason that this was made was to help people that might be out of town or just trying to find something new in a place where you have been before. So if you are driving right now and are starving then please look on any of the links on the side bar and you might find something near you. All restaurants on this sight are extremely good and I try not to blog about bad or so-so food. Thank you for checking back after this long of a break and I hope that you find something that will interest your taste buds on this site. One more thing I also try to rate restaurants that are nice but will not make your wallet have a nervous breakdown and start to run for the door. In other words you don’t need to start taking out a loan to eat at any of these restaurants but they are exceptionally good places to eat. I hope you enjoy and that was the end of my intro to the return of the Mysterious Diner! Good Luck in your quest for good food.
