Italian Cucina
Tasty Chicken Parmigiana at Barona Casino’s Italian Cucina! Unfortunately, their current ‘rona protocol has them covering the completed dishes in plastic wrap when it leaves the kitchen. The diner then has to literally unwrap it like a present at the table. Not a fan of that. A stainless steel dome would be far more elegant.
Pinto Thai
Outstanding to-go Pad Thai from Pinto Thai in Ramona! Asian food always makes the best takeout.
The Par Lounge
Visited July 4, 2020 – There is a fantastic new (2 page) brunch menu at The Oaks Grille! I’ve tried several new things over the last few weeks and have enjoyed them all. Yesterday though was a standout with this “Chili Relleno Omelet”. Inside is Ortega chile, jack & cheddar cheese, then topped with a delicious, savory ranchero sauce, more cheese and crumbled queso fresco. Served with your choice of side plus toast, only $11. I was really impressed. This omelet was brilliantly constructed and cooked. I’m a fan of good chile rellenos and it really seemed like I was eating one with this omelet. Sadly, my beloved complimentary champagne is now history. $4 a glass now, or $15 for a bottle isn’t bad I suppose.
Olive Garden
Tasty “Five Cheese Ziti al Forno” with Italian sausage and meatball at OG in Santee, CA!
Tacos El Panson
Excellent taco catering from Tacos El Panson on El Cajon Blvd in San Diego. They had their mobile Cocina setup in my neighbors driveway for an event recently.
Ramona Cafe
Outstanding Tex-Mex Skillet at Ramona Cafe! Full of home fried taters, taco seasoned ground beef, etc.
Miguel’s Cocina
My new favorite dish at Miguel’s Cocina – “Miguel’s Trio Burritos”! Three mini burritos with Miguel’s signature sauces; carnitas with verde, carne asada with red enchilada, and shrimp with jalapeño cream. Simply excellent. Such a combustion of flavor.
