our Doña Skinny margarita ($12) arrives quickly.

Lick the salt and take a cold sip. Chase it with tortilla chips dunked in three low-burning salsas. You’ve just waited 30 minutes for a table because Quinto Sol doesn’t take reservations on Friday nights, but the margarita makes up for it.

This one is made with Frida Kahlo Silver, a super premium tequila that, like all the tequila here, comes exclusively from the blue agave plant.

It’s hard not to have fun at Quinto Sol in downtown Redwood City. Just look around — there’s a petrified tree strung in gold lights standing in the middle of the dining room, spiky stars dangle from the 150-year-old ceiling and green foliage drapes a tree slab that’s missing a chunk from its middle.

Continued from previous page

This is the Sol family’s third restaurant. They also own Vive Sol in Mountain View and Palo Alto Sol on California Avenue.

The menu emphasizes foods from the family’s native Puebla, Mexico, but also includes Mexican-American standards like nachos and burritos, along with a serious affection for Monterey Jack cheese.

The jack cheese snows on tostadas, tacos, and sopa azteca (tortilla soup). It also shows up in odd places, like the camarones al cilantro ($20). Here, a semicircle of gulf shrimp with their tails curved up look like a team of synchronized swimmers. Sauteed in plenty of garlic and cilantro, the shrimp are great on their own but better with a squeeze of fresh lime (you’ll have to ask for a wedge).

But then things get cheesy.

Melted jack caps a speed bump of orange rice as well as the refried black beans. There’s a shredded, half-melted jumble of jack swathed in red enchilada

sauce hiding in your Romaine lettuce. It peeks from beneath a pale, sesame-seeded slice of tomato as if to say, “Yeah, I know, I don’t belong here.�

If jack cheese is a fetish at Quinto Sol, sour cream is an obsession. The version here is thick and robust. It’s irresistible squeezed on a tostada but can sometimes overwhelm a sauce, as in the case of the pollo guajillo ($18). Chicken drowns in what looks like tikka masala and tastes like tomato sauce saddled with cream. A few chopped almonds lend crunch, but there aren’t enough to break up the creaminess. You’ll need plenty of tortillas (and a buddy) to get through it all.

Some of the cream sauces do better spooned over enchiladas or doled out in small doses, like on the roasted chile rellenos caseros ($13).

Two poblano peppers lounge in a broth colored chartreuse by epazote, a green herb popular in Mexican cooking.

The peppers ooze melted jack cheese, which mingles with

corn, slivers of potato and specks of zucchini that are too minuscule to matter. An unadvertised ladleful of nueva salsa, a sour cream-thickened chipotle sauce, drips down the peppers, instantly thickening the broth. It works beautifully here, balancing the gentle heat of the poblanos and tang of the epazote.

In the rajas poblanas ($18), a sour cream sauce binds strips of pasilla peppers, onions and shredded chicken. It’s reminiscent of the King’s Ranch Casserole I ate at summer camp, but in the best way possible.

The vegetables still snap and the heat of the chiles lingers.

While the rajas poblanas unintentionally evoke nostalgia, the fideos secos ($11) come straight from the Sol sisters’ childhood. Scraggly, angel hair-like noodles are boiled and then sauteed in chile sauce until they absorb the liquid.

The pasta arrives molded like a brown woven basket brimming with avocado chunks, queso aĂąejo (white aged cheese),

Margaritas are a highlight at Quinto Sol.

cilantro and some sour cream.

A couple of puffy, fried tortilla chips double as scoops. The garnishes are terrific, but the pasta conjures memories of Chef Boyardee. Nonetheless, it was a table favorite.

If that’s too much lactose to contemplate, try the tacos.

During weekday lunch you can order them two to a plate (or mix and match with a tostada, enchilada or quesadilla), plus rice and beans ($14.50). Below the gringo fixings of shredded jack, lettuce, and chopped tomatoes are generous shards of tender pork or hunks of ribeye brushed in adobo sauce.

The meat is so good you could eat it by itself.

Don’t miss the trio de albondigas ($11). Like the other appetizers here, it can double as an entree. Six juicy onionflecked meatballs (two each of pork, chicken and beef) are served with three sauces: green tomatillo, scarlet chipotle and “nueva.� These sauces repeat throughout the menu, available on burritos and enchila-

das or spooned over some kind of meat or vegetable.

Deep, dark chocolatestained mole poblano also frequently appears. Recipes for Puebla’s most iconic dish can contain 20 or more ingredients — everything from raisins and peanuts to stale tortillas and plantains. “It’s definitely a process,� said Quinto Sol co-owner Alexa Sol. “It takes a good half of the day [to make.]�

On the mole-poblano spectrum, this one veers toward the sweet end. During one visit, it was nuanced — bite after bite failed to reveal its ingredients, as a good mole should. But another time, it tasted mainly of chocolate and cinnamon, with just a tingle of chile on the finish.

Inconsistency undercuts other dishes, too. Corn tortillas were rubbery at dinner but soft during lunch.

The sangria was too sweet, with pineapple chunks and maraschino cherries instead of the menu’s promised seasonal fruits. While service is friendly and speedy, sometimes the food comes out too fast, with entrees arriving before you’ve finished the appetizers.

No matter the misses, you can always rely on the bar. The motley pink onyx looks beautiful in the daytime. At night, it glows campfire yellow to match a series of backlit wall panels. Sit down and order a margarita. All will be well.

Weekend Q MOVIEOPENINGS

Another rare ‘Find’ PIXAR CHARMS ALL AGES AGAIN WITH SEQUEL ‘FINDING DORY’ 000(Century 16 and 20) “When you make the finding yourself—even if you’re the last person on Earth to see the light—you’ll never forget it,” said astronomer and science populist Carl Sagan. It’s apt that the man who spoke of vast space as the “cosmic ocean” should have inadvertently encapsulated Pixar’s “Finding Dory,” a sequel to 2003 ocean wonder “Finding Nemo.”

For the narrative focus has shifted, making forgetful blue tang fish Dory (Ellen DeGeneres, irresistible), the center of attention. A lifelong sufferer of extreme short-term memory loss, Dory may have helped to find young clownfish Nemo (now played by Hayden Rolence) for his neurotic dad Marlon (the great Albert Brooks), but she was never able to find her parents, much less remember how she lost them. “Finding Dory” introduces us to those loving parents (Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy) in flashback, then returns us to

a present where Nemo, Marlon, and Dory make a de facto family, rocked by a sudden memory of her folks that prompts another ocean-spanning reunion mission.

After whiffing with the liveaction 3D sci-fi extravaganza “John Carter,” director Andrew Stanton returns to sure-fire box office territory here, and indeed “Finding Dory” plays it fairly safe. And while that means it doesn’t have the senses of fresh discovery and originality of the initial picture, audiences will feel a comfort early on that they’re in good hands with seal-of-quality Pixar and its stylistic hallmarks: dazzling animation, subtle voice work, good humor and heartwarming storytelling.

While microcosmic ocean life is still a focus of sorts, most of “Finding Dory” plays out in the microcosmic world of the Marine Life Institute, “the jewel of Morro Bay, California.” There we meet

Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), the memory-impaired clownfish from “Finding Nemo,” embarks on a new ocean adventure to find her parents in “Finding Dory.”

a handful of instantly lovable characters, including testy Hank the octopus (or is that septipus?), voiced by Ed O’Neill; nearsighted whale shark Destiny (Kaitlin Olson of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”); and beluga Bailey (O’Neill’s “Modern Family” castmate Ty Burrell), who struggles with his echolocation.

In typical Pixar fashion, the narrative shift of perspective cleverly dovetails with thematic messages for kids. A “kid’s

zone touch pool” sequence that’s delightful for the on-screen kids plays out as a horror show for the fish, prompting reflection about the consequences of inconsiderate behavior. Even the marine park itself, though wellintentioned with its program of “rescue, rehabilitation, and release,” blithely creates all of the complications that meddle in the lives of the aquatic characters.

If the plotting at first feels overly familiar (and, in many ways,

is), its elegance becomes apparent in the reinvigorating final movements, which also confirm the movie’s ultimate theme of building self-confidence through self-discovery. That, plus jokes and adventure, will have kids enthralled and adults, at the very least, feeling no pain. (An adorable new Pixar short, “Piper,” precedes the feature.)

Rated PG for mild thematic elements. One hour, 43 minutes.

Double agents?

JOHNSON AND HART BUDDY UP FOR ACTION COMEDY 001/2 (Century 16 and 20 ) The new action-comedy “Central Intelligence” proposes a seemingly unhinged CIA agent (played by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) embroiling a straightlaced neurotic (Kevin Hart) in life-threatening intrigue. What at first appears to be a fresh character dynamic turns out to be clever plagiarism of the 1979 action-comedy classic “The In-Laws,” in which a seemingly unhinged CIA agent (Peter Falk) embroils a straight-laced neurotic (Alan Arkin) in lifethreatening intrigue.

There’s enough difference here, of course, to keep “Central Intelligence” a legally justified rip-off—pardon me, unstated homage—such as the replacement of family ties and a wedding with a classmate bond and a pending reunion, or Hart’s character being an accountant rather than a dentist, but the comicnarrative DNA of Andrew Bergman’s revered “In-Laws” script remains unmistakeable. To be fair, though, while Johnson and Hart are no Falk and Arkin, the contemporary stars have both individual comic brio and

shared chemistry.

Johnson plays Robby Weirdicht, established in a 20-years-earlier flashback as an obese misfit partially rescued by Hart’s “Most Likely to Succeed” Calvin Joiner, a big man on campus revered as “The Golden Jet.” Two decades later, Joiner frets about being “the guy who peaked in high school” as he’s passed over for promotion and faces couples counseling with his highschool-sweetheart wife, Maggie (Danielle Nicolet). Weirdicht resurfaces, self-reinvented as buff, uber-enthusiastic optimist Bob Stone: still nerdy (given to phraseology like “hunky dory”) but now intimidating (his Facebook likes include guns, cinnamon pancakes and unicorns).

His deliberately bland name “Stone” belies his CIA agency, currently compromised by accusations that he’s a traitor codenamed “The Black Badger.” On the hunt for Stone is former colleague Pamela Harris (an amusingly deadpan Amy Ryan). It’s one of the movie’s considerable strengths that director/co-writer Rawson Marshall Thurber

Kevin Hart (left) and Dwayne Johnson star as reunited schoolmates who are involved in life-threatening espionage in the comedy “Central Intelligence.”

(“Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story,” “We’re the Millers”) encourages so many players to bring the funny. The usually braying Hart, here winningly restrained, technically plays the “straight man” to zany Johnson and Ryan, but you wouldn’t know it from the laughs all three pull.

At nearly two hours, the char-

acter dynamic and predictable formula of “Central Intelligence” become wearisome long before every scripted loose end gets neatly tied in a bow. The action, too, suffers as the film drags on, poorly shot and edited in comparison to the early scenes establishing Stone ‘s bona fides.

At least the fat-shaming joke that kicks off the film quickly yields

to an anti-bully theme, and even if the material’s not always up to the film’s ironic reference to wit, the cast and their director carry the day with a good stock of laughs.

Rated PG-13 for crude and suggestive humor, some nudity, action violence and brief strong language. One hour, 54 minutes.

THE CONJURING 2: ENFIELD POLTERGEIST 01/2

In “The Conjuring 2: Enfield Poltergeist,” Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) ship off to England as part of their work as real-life paranormal investigators. Set in 1977, the film’s principal “based on the true story” plot concerns “the haunting of Enfield,” a London borough. The Hodgson family — which includes single mum Peggy (Frances O’Connor), 11-year-old Janet (Madison Wolfe) and her three other siblings — are harassed by their home’s former resident, 72-year-old Bill Wilkins (Bob Adrian), who employs the usual prankish poltergeist tricks and possession of the hapless Janet. The Warrens go on a threeday fact-finding mission to London, where they meet with sympathetic paranormal investigator Maurice Grosse (Simon McBurney) and skeptical parapsychologist Anita Gregory (Franka Potente). Director James Wan demonstrates his impressive level of craft, but it’s all in service of utter nonsense, a tired poltergeist narrative. Rated R for terror and horror violence. Two hours, 13 minutes. — P.C. (Reviewed June 10, 2016)

With “Now You See Me 2” directed by Jon M. Chu, the gist remains the same: big stars, jazzy music, a lot of flash, almost no dazzle. The plot defies description, but it again concerns a supposedly Robin Hoodesque band of magicians calling themselves “The Horsemen.” This sequel shifts Mark Ruffalo’s character, FBI double-agent Dylan Rhodes, to center stage, but he is joined by Jesse Eisenberg as a self-styled ringleader, Woody Harrelson as a hypnotist, Dave Franco as a slight-of-hand whiz and Lizzy Caplan as a sassy illusionist. Magic debunker Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman) is still in the picture, as is treacherous tycoon Arthur Tressler (Michael Caine). While carrying out deeply unrealistic scams, the characters behave stupidly in a far-from-airtight plot.

The largest problem facing this franchise is that magic on screen can’t impress us when do-anything computer-generated special effects are so plentiful. Rated PG-13 for violence and some language. Two hours, 9 minutes. — P.C. (Reviewed June 10, 2016)

Adapted by Jojo Moyes from her own bestseller, the romantic drama “Me Before You” posits an extreme-sports loving Richie Rich (Sam Claflin’s Will Traynor) who meets with an accident that renders him quadriplegic. He promptly self-destructs his marriage and gives up on life, prompting his mother Camilla (Janet McTeer) to plot ways to make him see his life is still worth living.

Enter quirky, klutzy, full-of-life Lou Clark (Emilia Clarke), hired by Camilla for the “no experience necessary” job of caregiver. Lou comes from a hardscrabble family (including sis’ Jenna Coleman) packed into a small home that depends on Lou’s paychecks.

“Me Without You” is the sort of film to starkly divide audiences: hard cases will wince at the clichés and Clarke’s over-the-top performance; starry-eyed weepie fans will get what they came for.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court.

RealEstate Q R E N T WAT C H

Retaliation and fair-housing claims edited by Anky van Deursen

Q

I am a landlord and I recently had a resident at one of my buildings accuse me of discriminating against these tenants for having children. It is true that I have given verbal warnings to this family about the destruction that their children have caused to my property, but that is only because it was the third time the children deliberately kicked and broke the sprinklers. Would it be OK to tell the other residents not to cooperate with the complaining resident since I am completely innocent and just want to defend myself?

A

This is a great question and a situation that can cause a lot of trouble for a housing provider if the fair-housing laws are not fully understood.

The safest answer to your question is no, you should not discourage people from participating in a housingdiscrimination investigation, even if you believe you are innocent of the claim against you.

Why? This behavior can be viewed as retaliation

‘You should not discourage people from participating in a housingdiscrimination investigation, even if you believe you are innocent of the claim against you.’ for someone trying to exercise his or her fair-housing rights. Many housing providers are under the false impression that retaliation includes only raising the rent or evicting someone because that person filed a complaint about the housing provider. This is not true.

Retaliation can also include other types of behavior such as discouraging neighbors from cooperating with a fair-housing investigation, making threats of any kind to the complaining tenant or other people you believe are helping the tenant, or offering some sort of benefit or deal to other tenants in the complex if they help you in defending against the complaint.

A claim of retaliation can be made not only by the

22661 SAN JUAN ROAD, CUPERTINO BREATHTAKING VIEWS!!!

tenant who initially made the complaint, but also by tenants who are threatened, intimidated or coerced in some way. Some housing providers are under the false impression that if the discrimination claim is false and they are innocent, they cannot be guilty of retaliation.

This is not true. Even if a resident falsely accuses a housing provider of discrimination, the housing provider can still be found liable for retaliating against a resident.

For example, in your case, if there is a housing discrimination investigation and it is found that you are not discriminating against families with children, but you told all of the residents that they should not cooperate with the investigation, you could still be penalized for retaliation.

Please note that every case is unique to the facts of that particular situation.

First, meet w ith M ic h a e l R e p ka .

Meet with Michael today for tax and legal advice before listing your home.

Unlike most real estate agents, Michael holds two law degrees and has years of experience as a real estate and tax attorney, giving his clients a unique advantage as most other brokerages do not provide an in-house attorney to help clients. In addition, the expertise and marketing available through the team at DeLeon Realty are the very best in the business. Meet with Michael to discuss any preliminary tax and legal questions about selling your home and let him tell you more about what makes DeLeon Realty’s innovative approach to real estate so successful. There is no cost or obligation for this consultation. However, Homeowners that have a current listing contract with another agent are excluded.
