Consumers Warned Of Phony Tequila

Saturday, 28 January 2006
The Consejo Regulador del Tequila (CRT) is advising people to not purchase tequila that is missing a proper label. The CRT, which is responsible for regulating the tequila industry, placed ads in several Guadalajara newspapers, telling readers to protect their health and not to be deceived. Illegal tequila - beverages called tequila but are not certified by the CRT - are often sold by roadside vendors and in tianguis markets. A list of all approved tequilas is provided by the CRT on its Web site.

Dining Out: Eating Up Mediterranean Charm: Oster'a No. 10

Saturday, 31 December 2005
'The comida-corrida-type space at Oster'a No. 10 has been skillfully transformed into Mediterranean coziness Ñ without the pretensions of some other hip joints on that block. ' - Photo By S Godfrey Here in this town rife with unremarkable Italian restaurants, I must tell you of another that is truly pleasing. Oster'a No. 10 sits in that fertile crescent of cafŽs known as the Zona Rosa, and it sits dangerously close to other eateries with similar fare, some of which should be avoided. Oster'a is of the smallish, bistro variety of restaurants and, quite frankly, it has more charm than it has a right to. See, it's essentially a hole-in-the-wall space with one wall completely open to the two-lane street outside (L-pez Cotilla, between Chapultepec and Marsella). But the comida-corrida-type space has been skillfully transformed into Mediterranean coziness Ñ without the pretensions of some other hip joints on that block, mind you, but welcoming, clean, and comfortable. The solid, dark wooden tables and beams, brick counter, and traditional wood-burning pizza oven transform you ... not all the way to Italy, perhaps, but at least to a good comfort zone. L-pez Cotilla might be just a stone's throw from your table, but you can somehow forget it's there. Contributing to the peaceful vibe is the fact that the full kitchen is upstairs, well out of sight. (A fully functioning dumb waiter keeps the actual waiters fresh and free from running up and down those stairs. I love a place with a good dumb waiter.)
