Combo enchilada platter Taqueria San Jose

One carne asada (grilled beef) and one pollo (grilled chicken) wrapped in corn tortillas and topped with enchilada sauce and white cheese. Served Mexican rice, refried beans, lettuce, sour cream and guacamole.
Taqueria San Jose, San Francisco

Omg, SO good! This plate totally hit the spot and it was pretty big! I also loved their refried beans, nice and rich and flavorful. You can definitely taste the fatty goodness in them. I would order this again in a heartbeat!

Sangria Taqueria San Jose

Sangria. I’ve never had sangria in a paper cup, but the nice girl at the counter told us that you get way more sangria in the paper cups versus their wine glasses and you get charged the same price. Score! And they tasted pretty good, too!

Hahn Estate pinot noir The Lobster House

Hahn Estate, pinot noir, Monterey. $8

Main Street cabernet sauvignon The Lobster House

Main Street, cabernet sauvignon, California. $7
The Lobster House, Palm Springs

In keeping up with the mediocre food at The Lobster House, they also serve mediocre wine.  I’m still kicking myself that we settled for this place after our original choice was booked.

Bread and butter The Lobster House

Dinner roll with butter.  It’s sad when the best part of you meal is the complimentary bread and butter, but that was truly the case at this restaurant.

Spanish red wine flight Bin 38

“The Most Interesting Man in the World Prefers…” Wine Flight.  $18
From left to right:
Beronia Rioja Reserva Tempranillo 2006 (Spain)
Vall Llach ‘Embruix’ Priorat 2006 (Spain)
Numanthia ‘Termes’ Tempranillo Toro 2008 (Spain)
BIN 38, San Francisco

This was such a disappointing wine flight!  I usually enjoy most Spanish reds but I was underwhelmed by these glasses.  I like the Numanthia Tempranillo most, but not by much.  They all had odd flavors and unpleasant finishes.

Here’s my Wine Notes app ratings:
4.2/10 – Beronia Rioja Reserva
2.0/10 – Vall Llach
4.9/10 – Numanthia
