Carne asada, carnitas, and pollo pibil. Handmade corn tortillas, queso fresco, crema, avocado, and pico de gallo. Each $4
Tacorgasmico, San Francisco CA
These tacos were pretty good. I like the texture of the warm tortillas and the proteins were pretty tasty too. It wasn’t on the menu description, but the pickled red cabbage was an excellent addition.
Chanterelle mushrooms, cipollini onions, peas, carrots, green beans, celery root puree. $19
Redd, Yountville CA
Omg, this was delicious! It was rich, luscious, earthy, juicy and lovely. The rabbit was so moist and all the flavors were wonderful. More, please!
Spicy Bloody Mary: jalapeno infused vodka, tomato juice, horseradish, lemon. $13
Happy hour $6
Carpe Diem Wine Bar, Napa CA
This was good. I wish the batter was a little thinner and lighter though so that the crab filling could shine through.
With brisket beans and coleslaw. SF BBQ Festival
Tex Howard’s Pit-Smoked Bar-B-Que, San Francisco CA
Even though this wasn’t slathered in bbq sauce, I still really enjoyed this plate especially the baby back rib. It had a wonderfully deep smoky flavor and it was tender and juicy.
Sausage link and patty, bacon, scrambled eggs. Complimentary
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, American Canyon CA
Meh, the usual breakfast with the usual items. I’m not really excited about these buffets. The food is sub-par and boring.
Small $2.19
Sonic Drive-In, American Canyon CA
Yum, I love tater tots! These were actually pretty good. The tots were hot and crispy and held up to the chili and cheese nicely.
Chorizo with eggs and potatoes, handmade corn tortilla stuffed with black refried beans, lettuce, crema, queso fresco, and avocado. $5
Tacorgasmico, San Francisco CA
I liked this. The handmade corn tortilla had a great texture and was yummy. The chorizo filling was also rich and flavorful. It was on the small side, but then again it only cost five bucks.
Sidecar: cognac, lemon, triple sec, fig. $10
Ninebark, Napa CA
This place was really nice and comfortable. The bartender was friendly and the drinks were really well-made and tasty. I’ll definitely return for the food – I’ve heard that their food is supposed to be great.
Paloma: tequila, grapefruit, soda, lime.
Tennessee Cola: whiskey, house cola, toasted grain. Each $10
Toasted hazelnuts. Complimentary
Prosciutto, salame, brillat savarin and other cheeses, grilled bread, candied walnuts, cornichons, fruit compote and mustard. Happy hour $10
Carpe Diem Wine Bar, Napa CA
This wasn’t the fanciest charcuterie board I’ve ever had, but it was certainly delicious. And at ten bucks, it was a fantastic value. I loved the brillat savarin (one of my favorite cheeses) and the grilled bread and other accompaniments were yummy.
Pol Clement brut. Happy hour $6
Broccoli with golden raisins. SF BBQ Festival
CatHead’s BBQ, San Francisco CA
Mmm! This was really good. The pork rib was pretty large and it was saucy and delicious. I also liked the broccoli with golden raisins.
Wild arugula, pickled beets, buttermilk horseradish. $27
The Table, San Jose CA
This dish seemed pretty small for twenty seven bucks worth of food. Yes, it was tasty enough but I couldn’t help but feel a little cheated from the portion size. It would have been different if I was blown away by it, but that wasn’t the case.
With onions and cilantro. Each $2.95
Tropisueno, San Francisco CA
I hadn’t had the al pastor taco here and it was kind of surprising to see the large pineapple chunks thrown on top. It somehow seemed unauthentic and cheese. Regardless, the tacos still tasted great.
