Our favorite Things To Eat In SLO County A-Z

Updated 12/22/24

What are our favorite things to eat? We get this question all the time! So here’s our personal A-Z list of food items with locations listed alphabetically. This is for BITES ONLY, it’s not an overall reflection of the restaurant or the rest of their food. This is a list of our favorite things we eat!

How did these spots get on our list?
1. We would recommend the item to a friend if we knew they were going
2. If we sat down at that location we would DEFINITELY be ordering it during our meal
3. We randomly have CRAVINGS for it
**And yes we know that some of these items are not what you would expect us to pick at the location but just trust us 😉

Are we missing something? Maybe we had it and it was great but we didn’t feel like we’d drive out of the way for it, maybe we haven’t gone to a certain location, maybe the restaurant had an off day, or maybe we are human and forgot to list them. You may wonder if anyone was paid to be on here and honestly we’re not about that when it comes to our recommendations. Our goal is to be transparent and share what we truly love and we love to hear what you love as well so…
