Denny's at the 5 and Carlsbad Village Drive just got a new paint job. All earth tones. Didn't those colors go out with the '70's. Not very appetizing to me.

What do you think?

Hodad's is opening soon in the Carlsbad Village Faire center.

The company's web site indicates there is an existing restaurant in Ocean Beach. The menu is burgers and fries.

Has anybody eaten at Hodad's? Will their burgers win the local cholesterol-gobbling crowd?

I've read where Gauyule's Grill is to soon to at 2780 Carlsbad Blvd. It's an interesting location. See the street view on Google Maps Google Maps Location

AnyBud know what kind of food will be offered?

By the same company that operates Senor Grubby's on Carlsbad Village Dr in the Village, Los Tacos is location in the Pacific Coast Center (OK, Walmart center) off Jefferson and the 78. It's in the same strip as Starbuck's, Einstein Bakery and others on the left just after you've entered the center by car.

The special item "California Burrito" is one BIG burrito. I think it's the largest I've ever seen. There's a lot of dough but it holds a lot of stuff as well including, believe it or not, French Fries. Only $5.15.

Ingredients are promoted as fresh and other items look good too.

See the Los Tacos web site for the menu, etc.

Having seen the sign outside Pacific Market on Tremont off Wisconsin, I ventured in to try some Indian food. The market offers some grocery products and Mexican as well as Indian food.

The proprietor bounced around between running the cash register and doing the cooking.

One item on the menu was Vegetable Curry, described as having cauliflower and potatoes, eggplant and potatoes, "a combination of all four,"except as I found out after ordering, "no vegetables today." Like it seems as always been the case with these small Indian restaurants, they are out of what you order if you choose from the menu. It's best to ask what they DO have. I had Chicken Masala. It included a lot of brown rice and good-tasting chicken.

Is there any other place I can get Indian food in Carlsbad or a neighboring community?
