you still have not explained why this is loshon hara, i fail to see why pointing out a unique characteristic of a city is lashon hara if there is no implied or inherent flaw or negativity.

Frankly the fact that you perceive it as lashon hara seems to indicate that you look at this positive trait in a negative light...

There is a place in Lakewood advertising 6X12 schach mats for $100 (most places charge $110-$115).
They have a promo that if you buy 4 it costs $300.

I need 2 and am about to pay $200. Does anyone on here need 2 also?

PM me - we'll buy together and we'll each get 2 for $150.

MarkS found someone, but the company, Lakewood S'chach, still has some left. Anyone interested in forming another group? I only need two mats.

The Kosher Taco™ review

Until recently, I never thought of stepping of into the Kosher Taco. The advertisements gave me this feeling that it's not the type of restarant I would enjoy. When my brother from out of town ate there and told me that I have to go, I finally found the strength to drive down the 9. 

Food
The food they cook is incredible. Their portions are also very generous, and everything is well seasoned. My first time, I ordered the Italian hot dog, which I would describe as cut up hot dogs in a sandwich along with fried onions and other things that made it delicious and filling. As a side, I ordered dry rub chicken wings (on sale Thursdays $3 for 6 wings). They have just the perfect amount of delicious seasoning. Amazing.

Next time I ordered the spicy (optional) Philly steak sandwich. The sandwich came overstuffed with steak, bell peppers and hot peppers.  The hot peppers add a delicious, natural and fresh heat to the sandwich. As a side I ordered chulent (only at end of the week) which I remember to be very good.

The last time I went, I ordered a spicy Mexican burger. They gave me a massive, tasty burger. My biggest gripe is that they didn't have any sauces for it so it came out to be a dryer burger than I'm used too. As a side I got the blooming onion with their amazing dip. I couldn't help but finish it when I was stuffed already. I also discovered their smoothies. They go for $7.50, but for a restaurant that's not too bad. I got berry flavor and was absolutely floored. I literally had thoughts (more like accusations ) that they put milk in it. I wasn't calmed until I watched them put pareve ice cream in the blender

My wife ordered a grilled chicken in a whole wheat wrap every time. She enjoys it, but she sure hates changing things up. I should point out that I didn't order some of the more appetizing dishes (later I explain why), so others will enjoy the food even more than we did.
9.5/10

Service
You order at the counter and sit down by a booth and they bring you the food. The staff come by every so often to make sure everything is OK. The food comes out fast. Too fast. Like super duper fast. I would've enjoyed slower service and longer wait times between sides and main dishes. I probably could have asked for slower service.

The owner was very helpful. I eat only Beit Yosef meat, so I was planning on eating chicken dishes. I asked him for bishul Beit Yosef to which he responded that he'll personally cook for us any non-pre-prepared dish. The owner patiently went through the menu, pointing out which dishes are Beit Yosef meat and which dishes he can prepare for us. I was impressed. I was sad that the tacos, burritos, and chimchangas were not available to us ;(
8/10

Ambience
The restaurant is somewhere between a fast food joint and a regular sit down restaurant, and the ambience there matches that. You can tell that the owner spent some money for it to look nice but at the same time the place feels like it could be a little cleaner. It's not too loud and it's nice that the booths offer walled in privacy.
5.5/10

Price
The food is very well priced. My average bill was between $25-$30, and they also flip a coin at certain hours to get up to 20% off.

Nice review!
Have you tried their desserts? I have had the waffles and the fried brownie bar, both simply amazing. The dessert portions are generous too, big enough to just get one and split

I never had room for dessert
I saw the waffles come out and I was salivating just from the smell

wait, so if you sauce up a dry burger, it makes it not dry? interesting...

It wasn't a dry burger. I am a lover of sauce on burgers, so it felt lacking.
