Hey there everybody

I was out at Olde Port Beach in Avila last night setting up a beach bonfire for a wonderful family. It was actually a good time sitting out on the beach reserving a fire pit for them and helping them move their gear down onto the sand; I spent most of the time just basking in the sun. After I was finished I wanted to grab some dinner before returning back home to SLO. I stopped in at the Marisol Restaurant at the Cliffs Resort for their happy hour special. I'd heard about it from some friends who really just raved about it and I thought I'd give it a try. Boy am I glad I did!

For dinner I had what were easily some of the best tacos I've ever had in my life. They were grilled tuna, with shredded bits of green apple, radish sprouts, guac, cilantro and some simply amazing sauces all in a large flour tortilla. Honestly I had to stop myself from just scarffing them and ordering four more. And at $3 a pop they were a really great deal. I washed the tacos down with a pint of beer which was also only $3. We're not talking Bud Light or anything like that either. This was the best micro brew they had on tap, all $3 apiece until 7 o'clock. I tried the Firestone Walker (of Paso Robles) honey blonde ale and I was blown away. I could actually taste the honey in the beer. That was easily the best tasting light ale I've ever had in my life. A lot of people know about the Central Coast's rich wine country, but very few are aware of how great the beer brewed in the area is as well. I would highly recommend giving the happy hour out at Marisol a try. They have it 5 nights a week and most of them they offer food for free with your drinks or at a great, great deal. Pair a good Firestone Honey Blonde with great food and the breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean and you've got an ideal evening in beautiful Pismo Beach.

'till next time beach fans
