El Borrego
A few weeks back we went on a little dessert trip to Anza-Borrego. Good Times. A few old friends. A few new friends. And a few very creative songs were born that need to be edited down and posted for all to enjoy.
The point – Saturday morning we drove into town before heading out to the second campsite. Joe and I were ready early, so we headed out before everyone else and stopped at a little burger/taco place right before the circle – El Borrego Restaurant. A small joint with a side yard full of iron art – dinosaurs, horses, orangutans, mules, dolphins, etc etc etc. Apparently the artist was hired to make some for the town, and is also selling then through the restaurant. I kinda love iron art…
We stopped in and were the only customers there at the time (there are only about 3 tables inside, 5 on the patio, and a few more around the back). The gentleman working was really nice, despite our indecisiveness and changing our order quite a few times. We can be quite the annoying patrons!!
Though the cheeseburgers were just okay (there has to be a minus for the sesame seed bun) the carnitas taco’s were super awesome! So good in-fact that we ordered a dozen to take with us back to camp even though we had packed more than enough food. The homemade jalapeno salsa was SOOO good and they served beer. And the prices were moderate. Great little place.
By the way – by the time we were ready to hit the road, many more parties arrived – every table was taken. I’m thinkin’ we’ll have to stop in again next time we’re around – who needs to pack food when we can just stop in and get a good meal there?!?! more room in the cooler for jello shots!
