South Santa Maria/Orcutt: Angeles De Puebla. I can’t say “best in the county” because this is Santa Barbara County. But since Santa Barbara wants nothing to do with Santa Maria, we kind of claim them–since they’re right HERE. So: Best in the AREA. But seriously: on this page, in this list, THIS is my number…

Resty Gossip 2.9
Well, Restaurant Month is over, so boomer and cheapskates everywhere can go back to not eating out or splitting plates and staff can go back to less explaining, real tickets with margins, and tips. So why do they do it? It’s a media thing. Look at it. Look who promotes it. It’s all tourism associations…

Let’s start here. Todo Bueno probably one of my favorite spots in SLO Public Market and their tacos are *weird* but GIVE THEM A SHOT! Just let them make them they way they want no matter how strange it sounds and they are super good. StaXXX in Morro Bay make tacos kinda on the secret…
Resty Gossip 5.19
Minor tremors this week when I worked up the nerve to go to POPEYE’S LUISIANA KITCHEN, which I merely thought was Popeye’s Chicken but apparently this is full-on Southern food, something I probably know the LEAST about than any cuisine on the planet. (a few paragraphs from here, you will discover I really don’t know…

There’s gonna be a lot of tacos in this weeks gossip, I’m warning you. I’ll ease you in to it all with a fish taco at the bar in CUSTOM HOUSE out in Avila. Pretty bad tortilla, lots of *stuff* I don’t need, but like everything at Custom House, solid and well-designed for the clientele….

Taqueria Updates 3.31

Added to list at ♦♦ Brand New ORTEGA’S MEXICAN CUISINE Atascadero on the main drag just North of the Colony District. An absolute testament to all the horrible things white people think Mexican food is. Added…
Taqueria Updates 3.10.18
Lots of updates to THE TACO LIST! Some decent, some quite bad. Been all over and STILL keep finding places I haven’t tried. #work CAYUCOS GAS STATION & DELI is downgraded to ♦♦ My last 3 visits have been noticeably different. Although nothing appears to have changed behind the counter, the tortilla treatment is different,…
Taco Notes SLO 12.15.17
El Matador SLO Is a newer spot in the ever-changing little strip of bro-heavy spots along Chorro Street. I went in here on a fluke (and because I have to try them ALL) and honestly was quite impressed. The tacos are not bad at all! And when I visited, the restaurant was full of Mexicans–local…
TACO LIST additions 12.10.17
A little mini-taco-tour through Salinas last week… Tico’s Tacos turns out to be a small family chain of sorts. Oh boy. Yeah… just don’t go here. One of the more horrible taco experiences I have stumbled into in recent memory. Its location nearby 2 of my favorite wine-shops in Salinas made it an easy visit. If…
