Molcasalsa

It's not fair to bring up places like Lolita's and Super Sergio's when taking about the NorCal taquerias that try to bring us San Diego staples like Carne Asada Fries, Rolled Tacos and California Burritos...but if you're from the San Diego area you can't help it.  Many of us have longed for those menu items and they are becoming more prominent all the time.

Molcasalsa is the newest of those places I've tried.  I opted for the rolled tacos and a bean & cheese burrito.  Much less of that orange no. 5 shredded cheese on the rolled tacos than I was used to and guac is extra, but overall still good.  The bean burrito was great.  The texture of the beans was such that with the burrito cut in half before coming to the table it still didn't run out all over the plate.  And they were definitely tasty and not dry.  The only thing I would add is some red sauce and guac next time I'm there.

I will definitely be going back to try the Carne Asada Fries and California Burrito, just so I can give a full report. Show owner comment »

Who would have thought that pastries and tortas would be sucha  great combination?  I sure didn't.  Thank you for opening my eyes!  Also, thank you for making booby cakes for special occasions!

I like this place so much that even if I had to suffer an inebriated Russian puking in my truck again, I'd still go back.  The fact that I won't have to submit to those terms means the only puking I'll be subjected to is my own from ordering one too many flights of whiskey on future return visits.

This stand is a Turlock institution. Providing local, sustainable, high quality strawberries before Alice Waters hijacked what was just a normal way of farming, eating & living for most of us that grew up in the sticks. If it's strawberry season and you happen to be driving along highway 99 it's worth a short detour to grab a box of strawberries.

Yes, they pretty much only serve Mac n Cheese with a few sides, salads, and desserts, but they do it well!  When compare to some other places in Oakland that focus on one type of dish with a few other options you can really see how that concept can be hit or miss.  That other "stuff in a bowl" place doesn't think it's necessary to make the main ingredient in their bowls very well, at Homeroom they understand that it's the one thing they better do almost to perfection.  They aren't sprinkling the latest fad spice on hot dogs made from the lips & assholes of the most rare pigs from a remote south pacific island to go into their Trailer Park while ignoring the pasta and cheese sauce in the bowl.

I've tried almost every type of Mac n Cheese that they serve and the only suggestion for improvement that I could think of is to make the spicy Mac n Cheese more spicy.  My favorites have to be the Vermont and Mac the Goat.

Their homemade oreo cookie and other desserts are not just afterthoughts either.  Sometimes I feel like coming by just to have a house brewed root beer and Oreo cookie, that's how good they are.

14 hours to fly to Sydney from San Francisco and 14 hours back, non-stop.  How did I do it without flipping out?  The Hahns flowed pretty freely on the flight!  Love you Quantas!  They also had a ridiculously great selection of in flight entertainment to watch.

We were on a quest to find Guinness in Australia, which was surprisingly in short supply.  With a name like O'Malleys we were sure they would have what we were looking for, or we'd burn it to the ground.  They didn't disappoint.  The Guinness was cheap too!  The people here were really friendly and we had a great time.

I had my first Australian meat pie at this place!  A huge part of my desire to visit Australia was to get drunk and eat a meat pie and Pie Face did not disappoint in providing it's half of bargain.  One taste of that flakey pastry and succulent meat filling and I wanted to move to Sydney to repeat this experience night after night!

Holiday Inn Potts Point - Sydney

This Holiday Inn was very conveniently located near the Kings Cross rail station which can then get you to many locations around Sydney with ease.  The neighborhood was also rich with bars, cafes and restaurants.  Rooms were pretty standard and the hotel staff were great.

Technical issues are keeping me from changing the star rating to 4 stars, which is what I want to rate this hotel based on the staff and great location.

This is where my love for Carl's Jr began.  It was all about the perfectly seasoned crinkle cut fries and fried zucchini back in the day!  Nowadays I'm stuffing double western bacon cheeseburgers down my throat with a side of chili cheese fries.  Yep, I'm a fatty!
