La Cocina
Outstanding enchiladas combination plate at La Cocina in Ramona! I see they have graduated from styrofoam plates to heavy duty paper plates. That makes me happy.

Enchiladas so huge and delicious you only need one! Outstanding chicken verde enchilada at Nuevo Girl in Ramona, CA!
Garcia’s Kitchen
Visiting with family in Albuquerque, NM! When in New Mexico it’s all about the chili and I of course was happy to partake. We had dinner at Garcia’s Kitchen on Juan Tabo Blvd in Albuquerque. I ordered a dish called “Dan’s Special” (How could I not!). 8 oz NY strip steak with two cheese enchiladas smothered in your choice of chili. I had it “Christmas style”, which is both red and green chili (go figure). This was an outstanding, well rounded dish. The chips and salsa were definitely legit. A nice change from the SoCal Mexican food I’m used to.
Some additional fun pics: Stopped for tasty chicken snacks at a Popeye’s attached to a travel center in the middle of nowhere (aka Holbrook, AZ) off the I-40. View from the dumpy Hampton Inn in Albuquerque was less than stunning.
Miguel’s Cocina
Outstanding “Plato del 4S” at Miguel’s! Grilled skirt steak ala tampiquena and shrimp enchilada. One of the reasons I consider this place among the finest Mexican restaurants in San Diego is that every dish I order becomes my new favorite. Also the best chips, salsa and queso in SoCal!
Lienzo Charro
Like Ramona, most of Poway’s Mexican restaurants are just varying degrees of mediocre. Lienzo Charro on the other hand is usually a standout for us. Here is their beautiful “Carne Asada del Charro”. Strips of succulent filet mignon, grilled to perfection, served with with a cheese enchilada, guacamole, salsa fresca and hot tortillas.

Outstanding grilled carne asada steak enchiladas at Nuevo Girl in Ramona, CA! Still the biggest and best in town, that I can tell you.
On the Border
Outstanding “Ranchiladas” at On the Border in Esco! A flavorful mesquite-grilled steak topped with ranchero sauce and melted jack cheese, plus two delicious cheese & onion enchiladas smothered in red chile sauce.
On the Border
Outstanding enchilada plate at OTB! We usually frequent the Escondido location but due to recent service issues tried the one in Mira Mesa. Really impressed!
La Cocina
One of my favorite taco shops in Ramona has always been La Cocina! Despite the foam plates! Here’s an outstanding combination plate with beef taco and cheese enchilada.
