Los Tacos (Closed)

by bradvr · Comments (0)

Closed 2003

This place is a good half hour’s drive from my usual haunts, and there isn’t much else to do in Corona (apologies to all you Coronas), but I’ll still hop in the car at the drop of a hat for their camarone tacos, nachos and a cerveza. To be fair, Corona is on the way to Palm Springs, Riverside, and the local Mountains which makes for a good excuse to go to Palm Springs.
Best Dish: Shrimp Tacos
What To Order: Shrimp tacos, Chili verde nachos, cerveza

La Superica Taco

by bradvr · Comments (0)

A “must” anytime I’m in Santa Barbara and good enough to be a destination restaurant if you are anywhere nearby.

Anytime of day there seems to be a line at this Santa Barbara institution. Hand made tacos of grilled pork, carne asada, and chicken, tamales, and house made soups are so good here. If you are there on a Sunday you must try the comforting Pozole, a excellent rendition of the Mexican soup of Pozole and pork.
What To Order: Pozole, Tacos, Cerveza

The Gumbo Pot

by bradvr · Comments (0)

For over a dozen years, the Gumbo Pot has continued to be a dependable source of tasty and pleasing Cajun food. Order at the counter, wait for your number and then grab a seat at one of the outdoor tables in Farmers Market. Try the seafood gumbo, jambalaya, shrimp or oyster po-boy, drunken shrimp, salad with pecan dressing, and New Orleans beignets. They also serve oysters on the half shell, muffulettas, catfish and alligator.

Farmer’s market is a treat in itself, with independent operators offering hundreds of items ranging from BBQ, Deli, Produce, Nuts, Hot Sauce, Ice Cream, Donuts, and many more edible and non-edible treats. LA favorites include Bob’s Donuts, Dupar’s, and Bennett’s Ice Cream. Visit http://www.farmersmarketla.com/ for more info.

Next door to Farmers Market is the newly opened “The Groves”, a shopping and entertainment Mecca worthy of a visit. Check out the gigantic Apple Store.

Parking tip: Park in the validated lot at Farmers Market, enjoy dinner at the Gumbo Pot, then stroll in “The Groves”.
