Hey, Starling,notice how smokers are considered worse than child molesters, but it's ok (and funny) to eat your liver with that booze.

Yea, cause smoking cigarettes all day long and having a few drinks at dinner are the same thing.

Why don’t you and Starcough go run off into the sunset together in a cloud of smoke? Or at least move on.

As far as El Camino goes – I like the food, but not the margaritas.

Drinkers don't exhale toxins into the air for their fellow humans to "enjoy". I don't think the gov't should get involved in banning smoking in bars though. I think a more effective way of handling it would be for the non-smokers to carry a bottle of spray cologne/perfume into the bar, and just spray it into the air everytime someone exhales smoke. Maybe the smokers would breathe it in. Same thing, right?

Btw, El Camino's is great.

Some great food there and the margs are killer.

el caminos wins for food, drinks and most importantly atmosphere. even when their food isnt perfect, they make up for it with awesome service. we are lucky to have a locally owned chain with such high quality in the toledo area.

Is it true they are now charging gentlemen $5.00 cover? Maybe on wekends only?

Smokers dont kill people like drunks. Maybe if Gagnon wasnt a drunk and smoked all those kids would be a alive... How many of you drive over your alcohol limit? I bet everyone here does..... Dont talk shit about smokin when your all supportin DUI

i dont think anyone is "supportin DUI"

Oh your not?? Well I couldnt tell while yall were suckin back margaritas at dinner....It takes an hour to get a beer out of your system and I know you alchys drink more than 3 so I know your not sittin there for 3 hours waitin for your BAL to go down.... Your sittin there suckin down more..... Then you stumble out to your car and drive home drunk and supportin DUI. We'd be a lot safer if Marijuana was legal in bars and not Alcohol.

Well looky there. Seems Darkling has been born. Or is it Starseid?

Cigars for all, baby included.

I just wanted to bump this thread up.

They are now open and we actually went on Easter (I know, how traditional ? lol!).

I am going back tonight with some friends.

It was very good, the service was top notch and the margies are va va va voom!

posted by Ryan on Mar 27, 2008 at 10:13:26 am #

So you dont like the margarita's anymore?

posted by tm2 on Jul 24, 2008 at 03:30:36 pm     #  

No, I love a good Margie. Not sure what your point is though.

posted by Ryan on Jul 24, 2008 at 03:40:06 pm     #  

Ryan, you just said above that you didnt like thier margarita's. No point, just making conversation. I dont really care for margaritas, i prefer the tequila straight. Its got an interesting flavor.

posted by tm2 on Jul 24, 2008 at 03:46:39 pm     #  

The post you copied was about Cinco de Mayo, I said in this thread I do not like El Camino Reals margaritas.

posted by Ryan on Jul 24, 2008 at 03:50:48 pm     #  

wtf, people. just because you're drinking doesn't mean there isn't a designated driver involved.

"Drinkers don't exhale toxins into the air for their fellow humans to "enjoy"."

No, but drunk drivers kill about 17,000 people in the U.S. each year. "On average someone is killed by a drunk driver every 39 minutes." Insignificant, I know, but hey, we invaded a country, maybe two, because "only" 3,000 people died one day back in 2001. We don't need terrorists to wreak havoc on the homeland. We've got plenty of idiot Americans consuming too much alcohol along with a broken justice system that allows double-digit DUI offenders to roam free and drive.

And El Camino Real has good food.

I agree - the food at El Caminos is yummy. I can't testify to the margaritas though as I don't drink.

Quote TenStacksinADay: How many of you drive over your alcohol limit? I bet everyone here does.

Sorry - never have and never will. I'm more often than not the DD.

Welcome to the forum, TSIAD, we needed another troll.

Sorry, but responsible drinking and spewing toxins into the air are apples and oranges. But I like the way you invoke 9/11. Guiliani would be proud.

And El Camino Real has GREAT food. And they just opened a restaurant in Ann Arbor.

LOL at the thread becoming drinkin vs smokin...how fucking lame.

Anyway I don't smoke and yea if I decide to have drinks at dinner it usually involves a DD or me walking home.

You can't be surprised. Dark and Star can turn anything into a debate of the great advantages of smoking.

posted by Ryan on Jul 24, 2008 at 08:19:53 pm     #  

Ryan and you your obvious nazi-level of hatred for smokers is apparent as well.

"But I like the way you invoke 9/11. Guiliani would be proud."

I don't get it. Proud of what? The fact that it was only 3,000 people and not that big of deal numbers-wise when compared to almost 120,000 people in the U.S. who have been killed by drunk drivers since 9/11.

Apples and oranges? Tell that to someone who lost a family member because of a drunk driver.

posted by jr on Jul 24, 2008 at 10:11:09 pm     #  

Line - I could not care less about smokers. That is their prob, not mine. I am just stating facts.

jr - please don't go the way of the average internet poster.

Proud of what?

It was a joke. You see, there's this guy named Guiliani. And he can take an issue and, in six steps or less, connect it to 9/11. Kinda like that old Kevin Bacon game.

You keep bringing up drunk driving. What does that have to do with anything?

Btw--when you're at El Camino's, try the Tacos El Pastor. Good stuff.

Fake tequila margs. Bigger portions of Taco Bell quality food. Wedding ring singles.

"You keep bringing up drunk driving. What does that have to do with anything?"

  • Ryan's comment: "Yea, cause smoking cigarettes all day long and having a few drinks at dinner are the same thing."
  • pink_slip's comment : "Drinkers don't exhale toxins into the air for their fellow humans to "enjoy"."

Why were those comments made? I assume those comments were a response to the abrupt swerve this thread took toward the issue of smoking bans applied to private businesses. And to me, those two comments above implied that drinking alcohol has no side effects, and I simply gave numbers to prove otherwise, and I compared those numbers to something that's in the news and receives a ton of money.

Clearly, some people have selective concerns when it comes to the public's health. "Ban or limit that which I don't like, but leave my activity alone."

In order for smoking ban proponents to be intellectually consistent, they must promote bans and limits on alcohol, junk food, driving while talking on a cell phone, and other health concerns that hurt innocent people and affect all of our health care costs and options.

Don't be such a drama queen.

posted by Ryan on Jul 25, 2008 at 10:18:27 am     #  

jr, my comments regarding alcohol were in response to darkseid's comparison of smoking and drinking. You brought up drunk driving, which is an entirely different subject. Drinking, in and of itself, doesn't affect fellow patrons--smoking does. That being said, I don't prefer bans.

Agree great food, they have the best Salsa. Another think local place is Rio Grande over near Reynolds.

What about the place in Genoa called Ernestos? I have never been. Any good?

posted by Ryan on Jul 25, 2008 at 11:57:55 am     #  

I've never been to Ernestos but El Salto in Maumee is good. I like the Burrito Hogado and the Alambre.

You can find the menu at: http://menus4takeout.com/elsalto.html

posted by MaumeeMom on Jul 25, 2008 at 01:15:33 pm     #  

Thanks for the site. You would think more places would take advantage of that.

I have only been to El Saltos once, but did not eat. I just had a drink. Although I will say they were very busy, yet still quick to place orders.

posted by Ryan on Jul 25, 2008 at 01:28:42 pm     #  

Lovely how one comment about the taste of a margarita inspired a keyboard brawl about smoking.

Wonder what tacos would inspire?

posted by ToledoLatina on Jul 25, 2008 at 11:14:28 pm     #  

Ernestos is so-so. Its your regular mexican food with yellow cheese melted on top! I like their refried beans though. Friends say their margis are good too. I don't drink margis so I'm no help there!! If you're looking for good mexican food, I don't know that I would necessarily recommend them.

I like El Vaquero in Pburg. Yum!!! Friends also say their margis are good too.

posted by NeighborGirl on Jul 26, 2008 at 08:58:05 am     #  

Knock it off ToledoLatina. Don't even bring up tacos or you will start an all out brawl in this forum. For me, the word taco just makes me horny. :)

btw Darkseid, I hate smokers. hehe.
