Food & Drink

Lunch at Boxcar Cantina is always fun and delicious. Party with Moms loves it there, and the experience never gets old. We walk in to warm greetings from James, Jeff, Romana and Carlos. Our favorite starter? The Teepee Nachos, of course. Served for either 2 or 4 people, it is the greatest dish to share. The handmade chips are warm and crispy, the melted Jack Cheddar cheese is everywhere, the scattered kalamata olives, black beans,...

  Party with Moms staff showed up at Boxcar around 7 PM to encounter a full house! The bar was packed with a private party. The dining room and front extension were both crowded. Luckily, Jeff was kind enough to find us a tiny table. Over the course of the night, we couldn’t believe how hard our friends on the staff were working. Still, the Superchief Margaritas were as delicious as ever.  The meals were prepared in good...

Always a pleasing experience, dinner at Bistro V offers delicious food, and very friendly waiters and staff. The restaurant is a favorite of Party with Moms. On a very hot and humid evening, we decided to share everything, starting with crisp and refreshing Caesar salads. The calamari appetizer is a meal in itself – lightly fried and served with both chili and aioli sauce, both delicious and providing an alternating taste experience with each bite....

  Lovely dinner on the patio of Boxcar Cantina last night… Sun setting, gentle breeze cooling us off… Margaritas, of course, delicious and cold as always… Romana and Carlos treating us like royalty… And the dinner? Out of this world fantastic. We started, as we often do, with their Tee Pee Nachos, fresh from the oven. Hand cut chips smothered with Jack Cheddar, pinto beans, tomatoes, Kalamata olives, sour cream, scallions and green chiles. Then four main...

  Where else would you celebrate than in front of the wood fire in the bar at Boxcar Cantina? Enjoy the warmth while sipping one of their outstanding Super Chief Margaritas and munching on their homemade, delicious guacamole, salsa and chips. Or try one of their special meals. Mini chimichangas? Shrimp quesadillas? Soft taco plate with chicken, pork and or beef? The Boxcar staff are super friendly and helpful. Jeff, Romana, Carlos, Elsa and everyone else will welcome...

  Photo via Boxcar Appetizers Their guacamole, salsa and hand-cut chips are the best in town! But sometimes, we have to start with the Tee Pee Nachos because they are crispy, warm, and loaded with cheddar, kalamata olives, sour cream scallions and chiles. We also love the Boxcar Cod Cakes because they are so delicious! Photo via Boxcar Salads It’s hard to choose between the Mexican Salad, with avocado, tortilla croutons, organic grilled chicken and cilantro-lime dressing and the Caesar Salad,...

  The outdoor seating remains as comfortably spaced as ever. The Super Chief Margaritas are as delicious as ever. And the Teepee Nachos are warm and crispy and covered in melted cheese, guacamole, peppers: a real taste sensation! It is always fun catching up with Carlos, Romana and the gang at Boxcar. We feel we are having dinner at the home of good friends. Let’s hope that outdoor dining remains a fixture at Boxcar until it snows! Boxcar...

  We stopped by Boxcar Cantina to enjoy a round of margaritas and a plate of their delicious Teepee Nachos. It was a beautiful early evening, sunny, with comfortable temperatures. As always, the atmosphere at Boxcar was warm and welcoming. We sat on their patio. The margaritas were as good as ever and the nachos a perfect combination of crisp and cheesy. Try them next time you eat at Boxcar. TeePee Nachos - Jack Cheddar, pinto beans,...

  Photo via Boxcar (Facebook) Boxcar Cantina has been doing business all during the coronavirus closing. The popular family eatery is very busy with takeout and curbside delivery. Everyone still wants their guacamole, salsa and chips or tepee nachos, as well as all the tacos and enchiladas. The to–go margarita kits are very popular too. In fact, Boxcar is so busy they had to add an extra phone number to take all the orders. Photo via Boxcar (Instagram)  “What...

  How much can anyone cook? It is nice to take a break by ordering curbside takeout or delivery from a local restaurant. You treat yourself and family, and help the restaurant owner and staff. Last night’s dinner special from Bistro V (Versailles) was a pan-seared salmon, with accompanying lemon caper sauce over tender asparagus, brussel sprouts and pickled cabbage. Party with Moms can affirm that it was really, really good.

  Party with Moms decided last week to have a late working lunch at Versailles, or Bistro V as it is also known. Two of us went in after 1:30. By that time the lunch rush was over, but the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating or happy to see us. We decided to order 3 items we hadn’t tried before, and share everything. But first we each ordered a beer. Allagash and Stella Artois are two favorites...

  Originally, Versailles was primarily a bakery specializing in French pastries, quiches, croissants, fruit tarts and opera cakes. A huge pastry counter dominated the front half of the restaurant, displaying their delicious wares. In the last 5 years, Versailles has become Bistro V, an all-day French café serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The interior has been completely and very tastefully redecorated. A bar has replaced the pastry counter. Bistro V still makes the best croissants in town,...
