Moonstar Cafe in the epi is another great option. Their baked potatoes, especially the Moonstar Potato are gigantic and delicious, proper comfort food.
Those Moonstar potatoes ate divine! I agree that the Epicurean needs a makeover. It has a lot of potential but it looks and feels dirty and rundown now. Too many all you can eat buffets too.
I like Taco Taco .. yum. I also like Boojum (and it has a nicer sitting area) and Pablo Picante (lunch time yumminess) ..
Last night however I discovered a new Mexican eatery that is worth a try. Azteca (www.azteca.ie) on Lord Edward Street (Dame Street). I did a cooking class there last night, which was free with just a charge of €15 for ingredients. I cannot wait to go back there and eat as a regular customer. Its a tiny little place with lots of character and I would encourage everyone to try it .. The owner Hugo is passionate about food, Mexican in particular, as opposed to Tex-Mex as he clarified for us.
ps: i totally agree about the epicurean needing a clean up .. big time.
Oh taco taco, how deceptive. you think hey, yeah, i can eat a burrito for lunch and still function at owrk after. and so you go and get it, and it weighs a ton and the doubt sets in. and you try to eat as much as you can, and you make a valiant effort and get most of hte wya through before you have to go back out on the floor and work hard, but all you want to do is sleep 🙁
(ie, AWESOME burrito)

Try Burritos & Blues on Wexford Street. Sit down, cheap and good value, no coffee though
