You Review: Taqueria La Tapatia

Sometimes described as a hidden culinary gem in Marlborough, Taqueria La Tapatia offers authentic Mexican food.

The outward appearance of Taqueria La Tapatia can at first be confusing, situated in what appears to be the back of a large white house transformed into apartments. Most likely many have driven past, never noticing its existence on the corner of Pleasant and Lincoln streets. Taqueria La Tapatia may be the definition of "a dive." (Translated: a hole-in-the-wall establishment). In our experience eateries falling under the "dive" category are either a delightful gem or a frightening foray into the darker side of culinary exploration. Luckily, we found this Mexican eatery to be the former—a well-kept secret within the Marlborough community. But what are your thoughts on this spot? When Marlborough Patch reviewed this location last year, …

Piccadilly Pub Appears to be Gone for Good

The Marlborough and other Piccadilly Pub locations are up for lease.

Almost two months after the Piccadilly Pub on Bolton Street closed its doors without notice, the company that owns the property has issued a sign that the restaurant will not reopen. "The landlords for the Piccadilly Pub restaurant chain have acquired its bank obligations and are seeking new tenants for the properties it occupied in Massachusetts," the landlords' attorney wrote in a letter to Auburn, MA officials as reported by the Worcester Business Journal. Restaurant chain owner Elephant & Castle filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in June of 2011, and the business that ran the nine Piccadilly Pub locations in Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Pub Group (MPG), reportedly owes the State of Massachusetts almost $460,000 in overdue …

Restaurant Reporter

OPINION: Counter Service at Jake's

Jake's Restaurant & Coffee Shop provides hearty meals in a cozy atmosphere.

With a long dining counter complete with swivel stools and a section devoted to tables, Jake's Restaurant feels like a marriage between a traditional diner and a cozy eatery. The menu boasts all of the staples of a hearty breakfast such as a variety of eggs benedict, breakfast sandwiches and omelets of which the claim is posted on the menu that they will make any type of omelet one might crave. For some early morning carb loading, try the giant portion of french toast combined with a steaming side of freshly made hash browns. Dress up the hash browns with bacon bits, scallions, sour cream and cheddar cheese by ordering them loaded. But don't be fooled by their reputation for good, hearty breakfasts. Jake's also has a wide variety of lunch …
