You need to go to Mexican town or Xochimilco's (near the Ambassador bridge. In this section of Detroit there are several authentic mexican restaurants. Here's the website for one of them www.mexicantownrestaurant.com
3 :
Xochimilco's in Mexicantown
4 :
I would try some of the smaller, less touristy places in Mexicantown, near the bridge. They'd be more apt to make you something special, than the two biggies, Xochimillco and El Zocalo. Try the ones without liquor - smaller places.

Come to Southwest Detroit, the taquieras and lunch trucks are every where, cheap prices too, all different kinds of meats.

Connecting flight problem! Help! SAN ->>LAX->>HK?
hello all, This is the first time I do connecting flights. My first trip will be from San diego to LAX by American airline. Second trip will be from LAX to hong kong by cathay pacific. I am just wondering do I have to claim my baggages at LAX and check in with the cathay pacific counter again? What do I have to do when I arrive in LAX in order to get to the international flight? thank you.

your baggage will be checked in to hkg at san ,,make sure you tell at the check in counter in san that your final destination is hkg via lax. at lax you will switch from american airlines to cathay pacific terminal make sure you have your baggage tag with you.cathay pacific departs from tom braddley international terminal.
2 :
When you check-in at SD ask if your bags will be checked through to Hong Kong. If not, yes, you will have to claim your bags at LAX and recheck them onto the Cathay flight. Tom Bradley Terminal is the International Terminal at LAX. There are buses you can hop, for free, to get between terminals. Just ask at both airports when you arrive. I always find airport staff to be quite helpful.

Yes, you will have to exit the secured area and go to American Airlines domestic baggage claim in Terminal 4. You will then have to take your baggage to the Tom Bradley International Terminal and check in with Cathay Pacific. You will want to have a minimum of 90 minutes, up to about 3 hours of time in LAX to make this connection because Cathay Pacific will close the check-in counters 40 minutes before takeoff. Cathay Pacific will have to check your passport and everything to get you a boarding pass, and then you would need to go back through TSA security and to the departure gate.

Hello, I did the same exact trip last year. It's fairly easy. 1. Upon arrival at LAX, you would need to go to baggage claim to claim your baggages. 2. You need to proceed to Tom Bradley International Terminal. 3. Go to stay in the line to get your baggages scan & they will escort you to your airline counter. You wont be allow to touch the those baggages that you want to check it. 4. Proceed to check in counter to check in your flight. 5. Go to your gate and enjoy your your trip. Smile....

I've done the same type of connecting flight with American and Cathay Pacific through LAX. American Airlines is a One World partner with Cathay and codeshares the Cathay Pacific flights to Hong Kong. You should be able to receive both boarding passes in San Diego as well as have your luggage forwarded through to HK, I did. You will have to exit the domestic terminal that American uses and go next door to the Tom Bradley International Terminal and go through an additional security screening, but you shouldn't have to check-in again and your baggage should be checked from San Diego through to Hong Kong. You can always call American or Cathay to confirm this since you're getting conflicting answers, but I sure didn't have to check in twice and my bags were forwarded through to HK.

San Diego to Las Vegas... flight or car
San Diego to Las Vegas... flight or car ?
It has been like 5 years since the last time I went to Las Vegas. In that ocasion I traveled by airplane with an ex-gf. This time i'm traveling with some friends... do you recommend to do it by airplane or by car ? Pros en cons ? Thank you.

Its a long trek by car I have done it I like driving and if I had time I would probably drive but the time is not just the driving time but you are knackered by the time you get to Vegas and to me if time is an issue fly and dont lose out on your vegas time ;-) Parking on the Strip casinos is free both garage and valet and you will allways get spaces.

Flight. Vegas is easy to get around. Car ride is long, usually bad traffic, parking can be more expensive than cabs and walking once you're there. Flights from San Diego to Vegas are inexpensive, comparibly, and when you use websites like travelocity, sidestep, expedia, etc.... you can usually book a package together and save a little bit more. ***EDIT*** I just used some random dates, but found flights as low as $140 round trip. You could EASILY spend that in gas and parking, depending on what you're driving. It's a 5 hour drive if you don't hit traffic jams. ***EDIT again!*** My apologies on the parking, I've only taken my own car once, and it was years ago and must be remembering wrong. Parking being considered, maybe it would be cheaper, dollar for dollar, to drive with friends. But my personal preference is to fly. I've been stuck on the 1-15 in traffic for 4-5 hours before, in summer heat, and it isn't fun! I used to pass through there all the time, and I hate that stretch from Barstow through Vegas.

I would just drive.. It's only about 5 hours, which is nothing with a group of friends. If you fly you're probably looking at 3-4 hours between driving to the airport, checking-in, going thru security, waiting to board, actually flying and the time spent arriving at the Vegas airport. It'll be cheaper to drive if you split the gas costs a few ways. And it's always nice to have a car if you want to go somewhere. If you plan on traveling up on a Friday and leaving on a Sunday or on a holiday weekend, it's probably better to fly. I-15 slows to a snails paces at those times. Edit: If plane tickets are $140, that would cover gas to & from Vegas if your car gets only 20mpg on the highway. Split 3 or 4 ways.. it's significantly cheaper to drive. There's no parking costs in Vegas.. unless you want to valet, which is technically free + tip. Parking in a garage is better, imo, since it's always faster to get your car and it's always free.

When traveling with several friends I would drive and split the fuel costs. Screw the airlines. Right now they are looking for a government handout again. Why is is our gas prices rose 50% and they raised their ticket prices over 100%.

A flight left Vandenburg AFB in san diego today w/o 18 passengers
A flight left Vandenburg AFB in san diego today w/o 18 passengers?
My grandfather was coming up to whidbey island in WA for christmas. My mom and I were prepared drive to pick him up. He drove in rain is really old guy. Now he won't make it for xmas unless we book him commerical. The pilot just took off without the families waiting. Yes, military flights are not as reliable as commerical, but still... WHy? What could be the reason basically and who to call (if necessary?) since wer'e pis''d

Wow, where to start... First of all, Vandenburg AFB is not in San Diego, it's near Lompoc. So, it sounds like he missed his flight. Looks like you already understand that military flights are not commercial flights. But you should also realize, whether military or commercial, planes do not just sit on the tarmac waiting for passengers to show up if one is late. Or even 18. Those planes take of at a certain time, whether they have all passengers with reservations or not. I don't know much about military protocols, but perhaps your grandfather could get on a standby flight. Or, as you have already figured out, he may just have to fly commercial. Or take the train. If you have any questions about why the flight took off, you should contact the officers at Vandenburg. I'm sure they will tell you pretty much what I have said.

Sounds like you grandfather was flying on "Space-A." What that means is that, if a military flight (usually a cargo plane) has space on it, then military and retirees can fly on it for free. However, if there is cargo, or mission-related passengers that need to ride, then the space-a passenger gets bumped off the flight. However, I have a suggestion. Vandenburg is probably not the best place to try to catch a space-a flight out of. I would probably try either March ARB in Riverside or Travis AFB out of Sacramento. Those 2 are both cargo bases, and consequently may have more space-a options. Also, trying to hop to Whidbey Island may be a little tricky, but your options may be better if he tries to take a space-a hop to nearby McChord AFB.
