By popular demand, all Taquerias removed from THE RESTAURANT LIST and moved to a separate list: THE TAQUERIA LIST.Too many complaints about the taco-joints getting lost in the big list and the ◊◊ and ◊◊◊ being unfair and confusing in regard to street-food and I agree so they have been eliminated and everything is back…

Grading Notes
The restaurant list in the PREVIOUS POST is current and constantly evolving. I update and edit the original list rather than posting additional modifications as the restaurant scene evolves daily around us. Each set of definitions contain a general list of items–some concrete and some very subjective. A restaurant is not required to fulfill all of…
Kitchenette, Upper Crust and Budget Cafe SLO
KITCHENETTE in Templeton added at ♦ Emphasis on the ‘ette’. Curt menu, and small items. Fun little Ladies-Who-Lunch items delicate-sized and beautiful. Winelist not published, you point at a regional map on the wall and receive something from their extremely limited grouping of forgettable Paso super-market wines. People rant and rave about this place–I’m kinda…
Taco + SALVADOREAN Update 2.25
COMPLETE TAQUERIA LIST HERE LOS TAMALES POBLANOS in Oceano added at ♦ Quite good tacos, very authentic with their own touch. No credit cards, simple menu, very low-key operation. Nothing overwhelmingly impressive. Might return merely for support, as there are far better tacos nearby. LOS COMADRES SALVADOREAN in Santa Maria added at ♦♦ Now here…
Edit to List
THE CENTRAL COAST RESTAURANTS LIST EMBER in Arroyo Grande raised to ♦♦♦ Everything is firing on all cylinders here. Food ranges from interesting to stunning each month as the menu changes. Occasionally something shows up which doesn’t translate well, but it typically goes away quickly. Great wine list and service. This restaurant will never get…
Taco additions 1.28
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…
KunFusion
Finally got around to KUNFUSION at the new (to me) brick & mortar in Pismo Beach. Nice corner of Pismo Coast Shopping Center next door to California Fresh Market. Great ‘feel’ inside–the bustle of the kitchen is *just close enough* to give reminders to the taco-truck roots of this restaurant. The menu has a lot…
Foremost Wine Company
It’s a RESTAURANT! It’s A WINE-SHOP! It’s a LOUNGE! Wait. What is it?! It is only San Luis Obispo’s newest dining concept and I say concept only because ‘experience’ was taken–several times–and just really doesn’t do the whole package justice. Now that Foremost Wine Company is fully open, it is prime time to get yourself…
