Every menu on the Central Coast has a burger on it. It is something I have learned to accept in dining along the coast. Burgers are popular, no doubt, and a welcome menu item and ubiquitous with American dining culture. There are probably 300 burgers within 10 miles of where I stand and yes, I…

SIX TEST KITCHEN
Six Test Kitchen is Arroyo Grande’s flash-in-the-pan new eating establishment heavy on preparation and light on substance. The basis of this resty is not new–single-seating per night, pricy prix fixe accomodations, an allegedly whiz-bang young gun with an alleged stellar resume who is–by reduction–basically a local kid cooking in his parent’s–BEAUTIFUL WALL-TO-WALL STAINLESS STEEL–garage. Everything is ridiculously…
2 Additions to CENTRAL COAST TACO GUIDE
JALAPENO CITY in Paso Robles added to Taqueria List at ♦♦ Under new ownership and tacos were REALLY good and to be truthful, the rest of the Mexican food looked very nice too. I was the only white person dining in restaurant the day I visited. This is my new #2 taco stop in Paso Robles…
MILESTONE TAVERN San Luis Obispo
MILESTONE TAVERN San Luis Obispo’s newest restaurant and already a serious contender in the tap-room/lunch-bites category for the area. Being a couple blocks from Cal Poly and with an emphasis on beer, I had low expectations from the beginning for anything interesting being realized. Expecting a total bro-spot, I stopped in to view the menu…
My Generation GIUSEPPE’S EXPRESS
I love GIUSEPPE’S EXPRESS in Pismo Beach for lots of things: gelato, salads, wonderful desserts, deli meat and Italian grocery items–wine, olive oil and pasta–but also for their simple little dry panini cold sandwiches stacked up in the case just like they sell on the street in France. I had two this week–with interesting results….
Monterey-Carmel-Pacific Grove additions
THE CENTRAL COAST RESTAURANTS LIST Weekend in Monterey, and while I have several long-standing favorite dining spots, it is always good to try new things. First stop: CORKSCREW CAFE in Carmel Valley. Nice atmosphere, well-rounded menu and winelist. Lots of local Carmel Valley wines, which is nice because–other than a few bottlings of Talbott and…

COMPLETE TAQUERIA LIST HERE CHRONIC TACOS San Luis Obispo added at ◊ Yes, a chain but hey, I have to try! Honestly not that bad. Everything was horrible, don’t get me wrong, but totally do in a pinch. TACO KING San Luis Obispo added at ◊◊ Horrible dyed-red shiny meat; Salsa game exceedingly weak. Asked…
Two Bad Taco Additions 10.13
THE TAQUERIA LIST TORTILLERIA MEXICO in North Santa Maria. I have enjoyed the South Santa Maria location of this restaurant many times–not stellar tacos, but serviceable–but the North location seems to serve slightly different food. The tacos were filled with grainy, dyed-red cubes of meat–classic al Pastor style #1–and the tortillas gummy and doughy and felt…
5.9.PM Link Edition
Links additions complete on all restaurants (except closed*) in MAIN RESTAURANT LIST. This will not happen for the TAQUERIA LIST because… well… none of those places will have websites and they are grouped by town and if you are a big enough taco snob you will find them.
