June 15th 2025: Second Time at Mamacitas, West Boylston

Today, while we had time, after passing through Milford,

Craddock Crewes Pond,
end of Wale Street

Littlefield Pond/Silver Hill Pond,
43 Fiske Mill Road

 we went on a short hike at the Snow Family Conservation Area in Upton, where the path we took is shown below in pink.

Nothing special here, with many potential side trails to get lost on, although my little one got to learn about vernal pools.

 after my little one's Minion dance performance, we decided to go to Mamacitas, a Mexican restaurant in West Boylston for dinner, this time getting the Mar and Tierra Tacos (steak and shrimp on corn tortilla with guacamole, cilantro sauce and cotija cheese),

the Tamarindo,

the Seafood Tacos (3 tacos with your choice of seafood, topped with mango or regular pico de gallo, cilantro, Cotija cheese and cilantro salsa.),

the Chicken Tenders (Three chicken tenders with fries on the side)

and the Bacon Avocado Ranch Burrito. (Chicken or steak with bacon, avocado slices, chihuahua cheese, lettuce and ranch dressing).

Pretty good from this place, although a little salty this time around.

August 25th 2024: Hiking in Upton and Eats in Milford

 Today, we started out with a hike at the Peppercorn Hill area in Upton, this time entering from the end of Taft Street. The path we took this time is shown below in black.

Other than the views of the marshland

at the powerlines, 

the trail was a little on the overgrown side, forcing us to backtrack the way we came. Will need to check out the Snow Family Conservation Area next time.

For food, we headed into Milford, first getting a Strawberry ice cream

and a Kid's Grilled Cheese and Fries.

from TJ Cafe and Games, a board game cafe in town.

Interesting place, although the oil for the food was definitely old.

Not satisfied with the meal, we decided to get more at the Oasis Patio, located at the Doubletree Hotel in town.

There was a band playing outdoors while I got the Legends Burger, which definitely comes from the Legends Sports Bar and Grille restaurant inside the hotel.

Really good though, like the pasta I had the last time we were here.

August 7th 2024: Bertie's Creative Creamery, Milford

 Today, while in Milford, we decided to check out Bertie's Creative Creamery, an ice-cream place in Milford with other branches in Massachusetts. Pretty nice inside.

We got the chocolate flavor,

which was pretty good, although the gummi bears didn't go well with it.

July 24th 2024: More Quick Bites in Milford, Westborough and Worcester

 Today, we grabbed bites from places in different towns, starting with Burger King in Milford,

getting the Fiery Chicken Fries, which were spicy but nothing special otherwise.

We then got the Cookies and Creme Pie from McDonald's in Westborough, which is a bad idea in my opinion.

Finally, we were at Golden Tandoori Bakery in Worcester,

getting the Baklava.

Only saving grace of the day.

July 10th 2024: Wanokura, Milford

 Today, while in Milford, we decided to have dinner at Wanokura, a Japanese restaurant in town.

We got the Miso Soup (Soybean soup with tofu and seaweed),

the Tempura Udon (Thick udon noodles served in a light broth with tempura),

which came with a Small Green Salad (small-sized salad with house ginger dressing),

and the Crazy Maki (Shrimp tempura, avocado, cucumber & fish roe).

Really small portions, and nothing special, not to mention the long wait. Definitely not coming back before.

July 3rd 2024: Emporium Brazil, Milford

 Today, after some tennis at the Shrewsbury Club in Shrewsbury,

we decided to get some Brazilian food from Emporium Brazil, a Brazilian market and restaurant in Milford,

A little dry and salty at times. Nothing special overall, although there was some interesting stuff in the market itself.

June 26th 2024: Lunch in Northborough, Dinner in Milford

 Today, while in Northborough, we decided to get takeout from Monti's Pizza Plus in Northborough, this time getting the FRESH TOMATO & GARLIC pizza,

a Cheese Pizza,

the Spicy Curley Fries,

the Pastrami and Swiss Panini

the Lasagna

the Pasta with Eggplant

and the CHICKEN & BROCCOLI ALFREDO.

Later, we were in Milford at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Boston - Milford,

and decided to have dinner at the restaurant here, Legends Sports Bar and Grille. Not sure if it is affiliated with the restaurant of the same name in Fitchburg.

We got the Hot Dog and Fries

and the Shrimp Scampi (sauteed shrimp over fettucine, aged Parmesan cheese, cherry tomatoes, fresh baby spinach, lemon, and Garlic white wine broth. Served with Garlic Bread).

Pretty good, and my little one finished the entire hot dog for once without leaving any for me.
