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…

60 PARK–Morro Bay

60 PARK Morro Bay. Those who read this blog regularly or follow on Instagram will know I plug a couple restaurants in Morro Bay HARD–along with practically a complete avoidance of almost ALL of the rest. I LOVE Morro Bay and, yes: I’m a local. Locals constantly question me, “WHY would you go to Morro…

THE TACO LIST TACOS EL TIZON in Santa Maria added at ♦♦♦  One of my favorite taquerias on the Central Coast has expanded from their one location in Lompoc to a new spot in North Santa Maria and it is every bit as good at the original.  Full rotisserie al Pastor with slabs of pineapple, THE…

LOS COMADRES SALVADOREAN in Santa Maria added at  ♦♦  Now here…

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…
