I'm so plattered.

Surprisingly close to Poquito Mas in North Hollywood, there is a restaurant called Mucho Mas.  I’m not sure which came first or if there is some sort of rivalry between these two similarly, yet oppositely named restaurants.  Whatever the case, a work lunch took me off to Mucho Mas and I was eager to see if mucho was better than poquito.
