Friday Night Dinner: Polanco
We have been to this location before, back when it was called Morso, which has now moved to St. John's Wood. There are a few other restaurants next door, which we might also try at some point.
It was a very warm evening, and my wife had arrived much earlier than our table was booked for. She'd ordered a margarita to spend the time, and "convinced" me to get one too. One showed up right when I entered the cosy restaurant. We were on the earlier side and it was mostly empty.
Polanco serves contemporary Mexican food, and their menu consists of tacos and small plates to share. We ordered baja fish tacos, a quesadilla rustica, green chicken enchiladas, and tortilla chips with guacamole to enjoy while we were waiting.
With our food, we also got a bottle of white wine. Usually we would probably have had beer, but their beer selection was really only the boring macro lagers.
The guacamole was well-made, and a little spicy. Smooth, but still with some crunchy bits. The green chicken enchiladas were doused in a slightly spicy green sauce. A dollop of cream on top smoothed things out. My favourite were the fish tacos — crispy fried fish, served with chipotle mayonnaise and habanero sauce, and topped with pickled cabbage. The rustic part of the quesadilla consisted of molten cheese, shopped cherry tomatoes, a habanero sauce, and some cream.
All the dishes were a little spicy, but not so much that it overpowered. By the time we were done with our meal, the restaurant was buzzing with nearly every table occupied.

I've finished reading Children of Memory, the third book in the series.
Another interesting take on forms of intelligent life.
A fourth one is going to get released later this year.

It's good to see that more and more people are realising that the Web can be for-good, without all the enshittification.
That's why I'm happy to see endeavours like phpc.tv springing up, and helping out where I can.
Taking back the control of how the Web is for people, by people, without big tech making it all shit.
