Of course Mexican food is the "regional cuisine" around here and there
are taquerias all over the place. There is a west coast chain called
Rubio's that is in a shopping center a few miles away and specializes in
fish tacos (of different varieties).
A few years back we celebrated one relative's birthday at a "tapas"
place in Livermore. I'm not sure I liked the concept that much but then
it probably wasn't that authentic nor have such places exploded around here.
A new steakhouse has just opened at the top of the hill. Locals weren't
too happy about it since it took the spot of a popular dollar store. We
figure the city fathers knew they would get more taxes out of it than a
dollar store. The guy has poured a lot of money into it and we're
doubting that he's going to make it back.

I heard that the fish tacos at Top of the Rock Grill were pretty good,
but they just recently went out of business and auctioned off all
their equipment. If God came down and in a thunderous voice decreed,
"Thou shalt eat a taco today!", the only place I know of is Taco
John's, and I have no idea if they qualify as "good".

For me, eating out is only a true pleasure if the chef can cook
better than I can. And, in Fairfield, that is rare. Yesterday, I
roasted a leg of lamb and had it with a side salad of arugula and
kimchee.

But, can you get good tacos up there? One of my rules is to never
eat at a restaurant that has an empty parking lot.
