Now while Im not a stay at home mom, or a mom at all for that matter, I couldn't imagine coming up with fun, creative and great tasting meals week in and week out! With Dream dinners they take the stress out of cooking dinners!! The meals are planned in advance and keep well in the freezer. Easy prep and cooking times! Ann the owner is always pleasant and takes the time to come say hi and chit chat with us whenever we stop in to stock up on meals. Everything is prepped and organized flawlessly. They take great care in making sure we have everything we need to create these fun dinners! The menu comes out ahead of time and makes it extremely easy to plan dinners. Great meals at a low cost!! Always recommended!!!

Yeah, so this place is definitely worth the drive. I pass about 20 taco shops between Oceanside and…read moreSan Marcos just to go to Albertaco's. Their California burrito is one of the best. It's sizable and the meat is always fresh, not chewy, and very flavorful. The best part is you get everything included with the burrito (AS IT SHOULD BE) like sour cream, guac, and pico. No paying to add those onto an already generally expensive burrito. Don't you hate going to other places and paying $18 for a Cali burrito, and then having to pay $1 or more per ingredient to add sour cream and guac when a Cali burrito should definitely already include those items?! Amirite?!? Tacos are great too! Lots of options for both meat eaters, pescatarian, and even some vegetarian options. This location has a drive-thru and is usually pretty quick. The line of cars should tell you that the locals love this place and it's legit! 10/10 would recommend.

If you're in San Diego, you already know you have to get some rolled tacos, so I found this spot and decided to give it a try. I got three rolled tacos two chicken and one beef and they were SO good! They were loaded with meat, and they were definitely not stingy with the guacamole or cheese. I actually preferred the chicken, but I loved that you can mix and match. Three tacos with no sides came out to under $10 but they do have a combination plate. I think that was probably like 12 or $13 which is an amazing price for the portion. I could only finish two because I still had a long drive back to LA, but I definitely could've eaten all three! I also loved the little hot sauce packets you poke a small hole and squeeze it right onto your food without having to deal with those messy cups. The drive-thru was convenient, service was great, and the food exceeded my expectations. I'm always looking for good mom-and-pop spots when I'm exploring a new city, and this is definitely one I'd stop at again if I'm in the area!

Plus, they're local and use local farmers. So, that's a plus. 1 minor thing is just I wish I could select what meals I wanted in my subscription instead of chef's choice, because I personally just WISH I could order some meals more than once because of how delicious they were.

Last week, I decided to give Farm Fresh Meals a try as I'm always on the go, and I've been looking…read morefor a healthy meal alternative to going out to eat a lot. However I was very disappointed with these meals. First off, they have a form you fill out and it shows you all of the meals. Looking at the photos, I was excited to try the food. But before I even got to seeing my meals, the wrong meals were delivered to me. I had to call the support and they assured me that the driver would come back and swap them out, a bad start to my experience. Following that, when I finally got the food I was very disappointed. The food looks nothing like the photos, and not only that but it is extremely bland, but not only that, all of the lean protein I ordered was extremely dry, as once I reheated it it seemed like it was cooked too much. To give them the credit though, the pork wasn't dry, however that's not saying much given its easy to keep that from being dry. I've tried multiple competitors in regards to meal prep and this is the most expensive meal prep company I've ever tried, but it's considerably worse than the others in San Diego.

this review is regarding salsa only…read more My husband and I are having a large dinner with a Mexican menu for our family. We decided to try salsa from 6 different Mexican grocery stores in Vista and Oceanside all in 1 day. All were pretty good but there are two that stood out head and shoulders above the rest. In second place was Salsa Market on Santa Fe. Their green salsa was delicious. However, the best salsa in the area, hands-down is Tortilla Leon!! Their Salsa Botanera and Salsa Molcajete are the bomb. Clearly different and more flavorful than all the six we tried. Such a great store, tortilleria, Carniceria, and hot food kitchen. Love you Tortilla Leon!
