Terranea

While I have mentioned Terranea Resort several times in my various blogs -thought it was worth mentioning Nelson's again. Taco Tuesday is truly a reason to celebrate at the on start of the week. Sit and relax with great views of the Pacific ocean and catch the sunset as you enjoy a casual dinner. The Taco Bar is really very good - especially the freshly made salsa and guacamole. The first time I went with neigbhors they had pork which was out of this world - the last couple times - it was steak and chicken. They say they alternate to change things up but someone on staff told me it takes 16 hours to prepare the pork - so with labor charges - I would gather the pork tacos are way less frequent. Taco Tuesday - $15 all you can enjoy and $4 Margaritas or $4 Hefenweizen during Happy Hour.

While I am no longer a big meat eater, I do enjoy it occassionally - which lead me to enjoy a recent Happy Hour and select an appetizer that Pork Sliders - wow - amazingly good - the shredded pork I love with coleslaw in a mini Hawaiian bun. The rich meat, in a sweet bun with coleslaw that was crisp, and fresh was the perfect combo. You could enjoy this and nothing else for dinner - while it's not exactly spa cuisine, it is not overfilling. just right.

Highly recommend both - but now I think Happy Hour with the $4 beer and my new favorite - the $7 sliders.
