Hitching Post II in Buellton, CA


Today’s review is a road trip edition…All the way from Buellton, CA…The Hitching Post II



This steak house was made famous for the wine loving movie “Sideways”


The dining room is quaint.


The grill modest.


The Steak…Holy Shiet…Amazing.


The “Magic Dust” they apply liberally to the steak has to be laced with crack…Since I actually bought some and took it home to use on my own steaks.


The deserts are out of this world amazing.


And it by far is now one of my favorite steak houses of all time. Thanks to Darin & Melissa Biamonte for turning me on to this fine steakhouse. I’m sure Dana & I will be making the trip up the 101 a regular thing.

I give Hitching PostII Four out of Four Jamons!!!


Taqueria Zamora in Santa Ana


Today’s blog will be about a place I have come to LOVE in the last year or so…Taqueria Zamora!




This fine establishment is fiercely authentic.  It is run by a family that employs everyone from Abuelita to all the ninos in running of my favorite Taqueria.

My Favorite dish is the Carne Asada Sopes.


These amazing bundles of yummy goodness are mouth watering good.  The handmade sope is formed by the loving hands of Abuelita.  It is fried just long enough to get a crispy outside and a moist and amazing soft center. The beans are perfect, the Carne Asada flavorful, the lettuce fresh & the queso cotija lends a perfect salty cheese flavor to round up the combo.  I always add the spicy green sauce w/hints of tomatillo.  This is by far the best damn sope I have ever had in my entire life.

Best part is they have a HUGE assortment of authentic Mexican beer...Even that piss water called Corona.

Taqueria Zamora is located on Main Street in Santa Ana in between Alton & Dyer.  If you want to have the very best in authentic Comida Mexicana…Then Zamora is for you!

I give Taqueria Zamora Four Jamons out of Four Jamons!
