Ashland, Oregon, September 17, 2013—

WE'VE BEEN HERE before, and we'll be here again: it is, I think, the most reliable, most consistent and consistently good restaurant in town — certainly at its price point. The menu never changes, and I always order the same: this cabbage salad, with grated carrot, jalapeños, a few crisp tortilla strips, and cilantro, simply dressed with salt and lime juice; and a duck taco — slow-roasted duck confit, shredded and mixed with tomato, chopped scallion, a judicious bit of chopped jicama I think, and more shredded cabbage, because it is good for me.

We also split an order of guacamole which is good here, with very delicate fried tortilla rags. And, por supuesto, a Margarita. Maybe we'll come back Thursday.
