When I was growing up, we had a tradition in our family that on your birthday you could either pick a restaurant or ask my Mom to cook whatever you wanted for dinner. My choice? It was ALWAYS my Mom’s homemade fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy. With my birthday being in the dead of [...]
When my husband and I saw construction going on in the old Bridal Mart building on Prospect Park Drive and heard the buzz that it was going to be turning into a casino and restaurant, we were pretty excited. Especially because it’s just a couple miles away from us, in our own neighborhood. Cordova Casino [...]
If there’s one thing I’m a sucker for, it’s family owned businesses. There’s something so special and intimate about a family who can take a common passion and desire and create an entire business around it. The Cruz family took over what was once Julio’s Taqueria (and before that I believe it was called Eddie’s) [...]
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Amore’s current tagline is: Cupid’s Choice for Food and Coffee Lovers. You get the feeling that there’s something special about Amore when you first walk in – it’s very cozy with “living room” style seating areas, and the smell of coffee and pastries in the air.

Mexican food is one of my absolute favorite meals to have when it’s cold outside. Maybe it’s the warm, cheesy goodness that lulls me into semi-comfort. Or maybe it’s the spices that warm me up. Whatever it is, I’m a big fan of the stuff when winter rolls around. I was excited to see Los [...]

A recent fan of Indian food, I was intrigued. I say recent, because up until earlier this year, I thought [...]
Last week my husband and I were perusing www.restaurant.com to see which Rancho Cordova restaurants were offering special dining certificates. I’m pretty sure I shared this site with you before, but if you haven’t checked it out yet, you simply must. This is the go-to place for purchasing dining certificates valued at $25.00 or more [...]
When it comes to lunchtime, I firmly believe Rancho Cordova has an incredibly wide array of restaurants to choose from. Have you noticed that a lot of lunch spots in town are now offering more and more lunch specials, not only offering patrons discounted prices (appreciated these days!), but also faster service? As a busy [...]
This week’s review isn’t so much about a traditional restaurant experience, but an “afternoon treat” experience. Running errands around Rancho Cordova one afternoon last week, I made a comment to my husband (and co-errand-runner for the day) that I’d like to get an iced coffee or some other type of cold drink. We were near [...]
When your order is up at Franco’s Café…Franco himself will yell, “here you go, my friend!” Just open 6-months, Franco makes each customer feel like an old, lifelong friend.
