VINTAGE CLOTHING STORE RETURNS ... With a fresh name and a new location, vintage and resale store Collective Soul reopened on June 1 at 4319 El Camino Real in Palo Alto. Prior to closing 13 years ago, the shop was open for five years as Now & Then Clothing & Collectibles, on University Avenue. Owner Lori Kinyon closed Now & Then in 1998 due to her rent doubling, she said. “I always knew I would open a shop again and have been collecting items ever since,� said Kinyon, a fifth-generation Palo Altan. “Now that my two kids are older and self-sufficient, I have enough time to get back to doing what I love to do.� Like its predecessor, Collective Soul features hand-picked vintage clothing as well as current fashions, shoes, jewelry and accessories. The store also allows customers to bring in vintage clothing for sale or trade. “With the economy, people are looking for good clothing at a good price, and there are also people selling items to make money,� Kinyon said. “I give them a place to meet.� Store hours are Wednesday through Friday from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 6 p.m. Go to collective soulresale.com or call 650-559-0699. PARK PIZZA PLACE ...A gourmet pizza joint will soon occupy the former home of Casa Isabel at 2434 Park Blvd. in Palo Alto. Now under construction, Palo Alto Pizza Co. is slated to open by mid-October, co-owner Nick Minarik said. Its menu will feature pizzas with made-from-scratch sourdough pizza crust, as well as a salad bar with house-made dressings. The restaurant will serve lunch and dinner. Interior design plans include a classy, casual sports environment similar to the Legends Pizza Co., an eatery in San Jose that Minarik also co-owns. Its indoor seating and outdoor patio area will seat a combined 70 to 80 people, he said. N

Mexican soup made with beef tripe, onions, cilantro, lime and spices. It is very popular in Arizona, New Mexico and southwest Texas. Alas, it’s a dish I’ve never warmed up to and I’ll have to rely on your reports as to its quality at Three Brothers. I doubt it would remain on the menu, though, were it not muy popular. On the other hand, I was eager to try the birria de chivo, or goat soup ($9). According to Diana Kennedy, author of several Mexican cookbooks, “birria� means “something that is a mess.� Birria is messy to cook. There are at least a dozen and a half ingredients: meat, chilies, tomatoes, onions, garlic, herbs and spices, slowcooked to infuse flavor. It’s the most rustic of dishes. At Three Brothers, the birria helping was enough for two, aromatic, thick and rich with plenty of flavor and loaded with tender goat meat. It was a tad unctuous, though, with a little too much fat left on the meat for my pedestrian taste buds. Definitely hearty fare. Steak ranchero ($9.95) was strips of beef, bell pepper and onions in a light tomato salsa. The meat was fork-tender, the helping more than sufficient when coupled with the ubiquitous beans and rice. Camarones a la diabla ($12.50) was a mound of fried prawns in spicy red salsa — not tongue-burning spicy, but lively. It felt good in the mouth. The prawns were halfpeeled so that they wouldn’t overly curl while cooking. Eating the dish became a finger-licking, hands-on pleasurable operation. The chili verde ($10.95) was ex-
ceptionally good. The pork cubes had been fried in a mild green chili sauce with intriguing hints of herbs and spices. A stack of warm tortillas came with the order. No complaints on the meat/accompaniments ratio. Beer is available at both locations along with fruit drinks, bottled and fountain sodas, and Mexican CocaCola in bottles, which has attained near-cult following. Mexican Coke is still made the old-fashioned way, with cane sugar and not high-fructose corn syrup as it is in the U.S. Does it really taste different, or is it glass-bottle taste versus aluminumcan taste? Three Brothers Tacos serves fast, inexpensive, delicious, real-deal Mexican food. Eat in for a quick meal, or take it home and be as fancy as you like — it reheats beautifully.
