Food Trucks in Los Angels Ca.

My Brother is in Los Angeles and he went to try some LA food trucks Grill'em all and Don Chow tacos were the two he tried. Heres what he had to say about what he Ate.



3 Tacos are from Don Chows Tacos (Al Pastor - Carne Asada - Chinese BBQ Pork) $5 The flavor was ok, nothing that I'd have to have again, they weren't bad but not great!... And from the Grill'em All Truck I had the "Waste'em All Burger" Pepper Jack Cheese, Beer soaked onions, Ortega green chillies and I added bacon $9.50. He told me the burger looked better then it tastes, But the bun was really good.

Fog Harbor Pier 39. San Francisco, Ca.




Went to the Fog Harbor restaurant for Valentines Day for the first time. Sorry to say it was not as good as I was hoping. Ordered for starters the Blue cheese garlic (This is what made my son and I want to go here) Well when they bring you the bread it's stacked on top of each other so the cheese comes off of the top of   the bottom bread and stick to the bottom of the bread thats on top and and it was very dry, We sent it back :-( Also for starters we ordered Red chili prawns it was good had a little kick but to much bell pepper flavor for me. I ordered a wedge salad it was more like a half a head of lettuce good amount of bacon and a drizzle of dressing I had to ask for more dressing.  Entree we ordered Fish and chips sorry to much batter and not enough fish I took the batter off and just ate the small piece of plain fish and I mean plain there was not very much flavor.  It needed more salt, Also the french fries were old not fresh they came cold. Chocolate bread pudding for dessert it was good. On a 1 to 5 scale I give it a 3 star rating. The really good part was they take triple A card and we got 20% off the bill. I will not go back.

House Kitchen and Bar Sacramento Ca.

Went to a new restaurent last night with my Sister in Law In Sacramento Called The House kitchen and bar at 555 capitol mall. Parking is a little tricky you have to park in a parking garage that is like on the side of the restaurant NOT the B of A parking garage the one past it and the restaurant does validate so parking is free.

Well we ordered the spinach and  artichoke dip it comes with french bread thats been toasted on a char broiler it was very good but could have used little more salt. I ordered the wedge salad it needed more dressing it was very fresh and tasty I liked it. Entrees: I ordered the Brasied Short ribs I was disappointed it's served  with 3 chunks of beef with small scoop of mashed potatoes in the middle the meat was little tough and the flavor was just not there for me :-( Should have ordered the tacos. My Sister in Law ordered the Chicken & spinach enchiladas with red & green sauce, cotija cheese & Spanish rice. She said they were very good :-) I will go back to this restaurant I do want to try the tacos and the Breakfast fried rice with applewood smoked bacon & eggs. On a Scale I would give it a "4" And to let you know they are on restaurants.com.
