Siro's has Big Shot, a Billy Joel tribute band, playing on Friday night. They're pretty good, if you are into that sort of thing. Drinks there are much more reasonable than they used to be.

Sniper and I went there a week and a half ago... definately get a pitcher of margarita's. we split two pitchers and both had a great meal... walked out of there with full and satisfied belly's.. and drunk minds.

It is much more California Style than Mexican. My vote strongly goes to Mexican Connection as well.

Only if you stick to the fried chicken and sweet corn, both of which are great. Would advise against ordering anything else. They did the near impossible and screwed up red beans and rice.

Doug,

Are you refering to food? Salvadore doesn't really sound south of the border, not the one I know.

Contrary to any stereotype that Indian Charlie (and no one else) has of Erie ... I am not dating my sister or cousin.

Everytime we go for Mexican here -- I order the same exact thing

Dude, Erie is generally regarded as the armpit of PA.

You've evenly lovingly described it's greatness to me as well.

No it's not. There is a big T through Pennsylvania that is basically Alabama. 80% of Pennsylvania is Alabama.

Erie is like Buffalo -- with 50% of the population and none of the good sports teams.
