The restaurant itself is cute, great decor and thematic. The margarita I had was good, however it was only upon ordering it that I learned that sitting and ordering a margarita was a different price than ordering the same one at the bar. This was strange, seeing as our server did not inform us of this, but rather told a coworker who ordered the cheaper one at the bar that she was not allowed technically to do that and then sit down with us. It was strange that happy hour deals were not restaurant wide, and a little annoying that just because we wanted to sit and chat after work rather than stand at the bar we got charged more. The soft shell tacos themselves were good, but could have used a bit more toppings. Sour cream cost extra, and you only got beans and rice with the first order of tacos (which was a considerably small portion). It seemed that the waiter was just not happy with having a large party ordering things that were discounted and trying to save a couple bucks, thinking people wouldn't leave a large tip because we asked for separate checks. It came across very rude, and I know everyone in the group would have (and did anyway) gave large tips regardless.", "timestamp": "2017-06-22T21:18:55" }

That might be the ideal for serious students, but for the occasional (see:broke) student like me, it gets a little oppressive. Here's what I like about Yoga Vida: 1. No one yelling at you to push, reach, breathe, or any variation thereof 2. Fun, laughter, joking, and other related reasons for actually wanting to soften your face during the postures 3. Individual attention and help setting up or going deeper into postures, even in a max capacity class 4. Inspiration and encouragement just for you, by name, also during a very full class 5.

That might be the ideal for serious students, but for the occasional (see:broke) student like me, it gets a little oppressive. Here's what I like about Yoga Vida: 1.

Condiments, condiments, condiments! Snacks beyond your wildest imagination! Treats from all over the world!!! You're kidding yourself if you think you're going to run in here and grab something (unless you have discipline, determination, and a full stomach). Remember when I said treats from all over the world? We limited (i.e., deprived) ourselves to a few small buys. It was hard. We bought several large refreshing bottles of Karlovachko, a favorite Croation pivo. But, they also have hard to find Czech, Polish, Japanese and Spanish brews, among others. My husband found a sriracha he loves more than the Huy Fong sriracha. It comes in in two styles, one of which is \"strong\". He claims it isn't as strong as the old standard, but I don't know. After seeing the way he squirted the new sriracha all over his dinner tonight, I'm afraid I'm gonna wake up tomorrow morning and find the bottle between us in bed. He's addicted to it. We also bought some tasty $1.99 banana chips, that are really more like banana chip rolls. Meaning, someone took thin banana chips and rolled them into little cigar bands, before or after frying them to a delicious caramel crisp. Who's going to pump these full of nutella pastry creme or something nuts like that? Please let me know who you are and when you do. I really regret leaving several items behind.

It's cute. The folks that work there are cuties. You're really going to like it, too. I just moved to Tucson and needed to take my great friend who was visiting to a great dinner. 47 Scott appealed to me because it had an interesting, creative, yet accessible menu that was reasonably priced. I'm pretty sure I paid at least double for similar, but not as well prepared meals alll the tiiiiimmme when I lived in San DIego. Also, $2.50 happy hour craft beer drafts made it a real easy sell. Before I discuss our meal, I have to say I gave some pretty serious thought to foregoing dinner in favor of those sweet spicy rosemary peanuts served before the meal. Can I do that? I hope not, because I'll end up here every night, drinking beer and eating those nuts. Moving on. The brie in phyllo for $5. Areyoukidding? What kind of reduction is that? Berries? Merlot? I don't care. I want to wear that stuff to a gala. So good. Such a generous portion. Real tough time deciding between mac n cheese or mixed greens salad with chicken. The salad and my conscience won. I inhaled that salad. Why was it so good? No really. WHY? I didn't sound like much, but jeez. The chicken was warm, perfectly grilled, and just the right texture. The mozzarella was slightly stringy and salty. I could have used more sweet potatoes, maybe with a little less char. The cumin vinaigrette just makes it all work. Can I please have a pint of that for $2.50? This makes me a real amateur reviewer, but I have no idea what my pal ate because I was too busy making love to my salad. I think she had crispy polenta cakes, but I KNOW she said it was delicious. Also, I really appreciate the bartender's generosity comping my beer after a minor tap situation.

Thankfully, not only did she know what I was trying to say, she whipped up a smoothie that got me all the way through my 7:00 p.m. yoga class. Tons of fruit, wheat bran, yogurt, and protein, protein, protein. It was awesome. Satisfying! And, I didn't have to hunch over my desk, spill lettuce in my keyboard, and spew crumbs on my coworkers while I enjoyed this quick lunch, so it was convenient, too. Poor planning (or was it?) had me coming back twice that week. I had a max daddy and an apple pie in the sky.

Try not to eat it by the spoonful, or in a peanut butter sandwich on a loaf of Viro's bread everyday for two weeks like I did. Jeez, no wonder my pants are tight. The vegetables, oh the vegetables.

But since we haven't taken a vow of poverty, we did, and made the best, freshest salsa you can imagine. Shiny, fragrant, meyer lemons! What can I do with those? I don't care. I covet them all!.

Yoga Vida is very refreshing. I feel like I can have a serious practice here without taking things too seriously, which is something I've struggled with in other Bikram studios where posture modifications and variations are verboten and you're busted if you breathe through your mouth even once. That might be the ideal for serious students, but for the occasional (see:broke) student like me, it gets a little oppressive. Here's what I like about Yoga Vida: 1. No one yelling at you to push, reach, breathe, or any variation thereof 2. Fun, laughter, joking, and other related reasons for actually wanting to soften your face during the postures 3. Individual attention and help setting up or going deeper into postures, even in a max capacity class 4. Inspiration and encouragement just for you, by name, also during a very full class 5. Lovely studio with filtered water 6. Rest, water breaks, and modifications are encouraged 7. Awesome introductory offer Jodi helped me get into postures I've always struggled with because (and this is my totally unfounded diagnosis) my crooked back has made one leg shorter than the other. I also really appreciate her attitude. I feel good about taking time to set up postures and also feel more conscious and aware of my body because her teaching method gives you the space and freedom to pay attention to whether your hips are aligned, etc., rather than focusing only on whether you're moving in time and getting everything right. I've been to Bikram studios whose instructors say they're committed to creating the same type of environment, but I've really only experienced it at Yoga Vida. Also, the carpet isn't that bad. It doesn't smell any worse than any other Bikram studio I've ever visited. Just keep your face out of it and you'll be fine. It definitely looks cleaner than other studios. It kind of hurts, though.

This means a lot to me, and I appreciate St. Mary's for understanding. Tortillas are so good I would consider accepting their offer to double wrap my burro for a handful of dimes.

You can't go wrong with their aleppo pepper, which has all but replaced crushed red pepper in my house.

The thought will never again cross your mind when you sprinkle veritable chunks of glossy, crimson, piquant goodness on your foods.
