Taco Tuesday – Taqueria El Guero

Taco Tuesday – Taqueria El Guero (1/28/25) I thought I’d start visiting some local restaurants and see what they offered for Taco Tuesdays.

Dune Side Deli – Oceano

Dune Side Deli – Oceano (1/18/25) My wife and I visited Dune Side Deli for the first time today. I had the Italian Trio, and my wife opted for a grilled cheese. I enjoyed my sandwich!

Brook’s Burgers

Goodbye McLintock’s

McLintock’s was one of those for me.  Either driving by Shell Beach to see if the “Immediate Dining Available” sign was lit or seeing the “show” at Farmers Market on Thursdays. My first time going to McLintock’s was […]
