Palomar Mountain News

When was the last time you had absolutely delicious street tacos? The new chef at “The H” is doing a fabulous job. I tried the sampler with grilled chicken, carne asada and carnitas. They make their own guacamole with fresh local avocados. I started off with a house salad with their homemade blue cheese dressing. They should bottle and sell it! Best ever! We eat there often as it is a great place to meet up with friends.

They buy slabs of beef to grind the hamburger fresh. Best Burgers in the Backcountry! The Catch of the Day is always a great choice. That cowboy I’m married to usually can not resist their steak or prime rib.

Oh, fun stories I must share… Our grandkids love the restaurant, too. They have been taught to be very polite and place their own orders since they were little. Starting about 7 years old, the youngest always seemed to notice when we are running low on his favorite appetizer. So, very politely he will motion a waitress to the table, turn and quietly say, “We’d like another order of potato skins please”. They always disappear so fast!

One time his brother, about 13 at the time, was sitting at the opposite end of a long table from his Grandaddy. He was paying attention when Grandaddy ordered. When the waitress got around to that hungry boy, he just said, “I’ll have what Grandaddy ordered”. I had to laugh. He’d always ordered a kids hamburger plate. Grandaddy was paying the bill and didn’t find out until we were served that he was treating that growing guy to a yummy steak dinner. They both ate every bit of their Ribeye and enjoyed it very much!

During the day it is fun to sit at the windows on the right watching the hummingbird feeders.
