Tim's restaurant hopping turns up intriguing and satisfying bites - covering everything from street food to fine dining. He picks three "Best Bites" every week to share with Connect readers:

Mi Vida Loca

This partially hidden little Hispanic market also boasts some of the best authentic Mexican food in the city. I especially liked the Barbacoa Burrito, slow cooked beef combined with beans, rice, fresh cilantro, chopped onion and chunks of queso rolled in a flour tortilla. Drizzle salsa verde over the burrito for a touch of heat.
Sopes, tortas, tacos (of soft corn tortilla) flesh out a menu that features chicken, pork, beef and lengua (tongue) Weekends find offerings of menudo (tripe soup) and pozole.

Saigon Flavors

This little, unassuming strip center eatery is home to some amazingly authentic and freshly prepared southeast Asian food. My favorite lunch lately is the Vietnamese Crepe - stuffed with bean sprouts, shrimp and mushrooms. Sides of crisp lettuce can be used to roll around shredded carrot, chopped daikon, sprouts and fresh cilantro for a "salad wrap" that's the perfect foil for the hot, fresh, rice crepe. I noticed chicken feet in black bean sauce on the menu - next time!

B. Matthew's Eatery

What a bargain! Two eggs anyway, smoked ham, a big biscuit with sausage gravy and a side of fruit makes Habersham and Eggs a value at $7.25 and a rib-sticker that'll last all day. Awesome coffee, comfortable setting, no pressure. Sunday brunch offers bottomless Mimosas or Bloody Marys.
