Tasty Treats in Palo Alto: Mediterranean Wraps
If you like falafel with a dash of spiciness and a touch of cool cucumber all wrapped up in a crispy, smoky tortilla and you happen to be in the Palo Alto area then drop by Mediterranean Wraps (
425 S California Ave, Palo Alto, CA). Man, that stuff is good! My wife and I used to eat there frequently when we lived in the Bay Area.
If you have a bit of a sweet tooth like I do then buy yourself a halva bar (crispy nutty bar drenched in chocolate) for desert and wash it all down with a nice cold mineral water or, if you’re feeling up to it, a bottle of ginger bear.
I recently got back from a trip to Portland over the holidays. Sarah and I decided to take the 5 up and down because, even though the coast highway is beautiful to travel on, it adds a couple of hours to your trip.
On our way down we stopped at a friend’s new apartment in San Francisco for the night. And we were going to head right back out to the 5, but at the very last minute we decide that a tasty Mediterranean Wrap was worth 20 extra minutes on the road. We hadn’t been back for over 5 years and it’s still as good as it used to be.
It gets really crowded during lunch, so get there early.
Once you’re out, head over next door to Know Knew Books and find something to read.
