California Restaurants and
Dining
Arroyo Grande, Calif.―Dining in the
Village of Arroyo Grande has come a long way from the early days of the cafe
style seating. Now there are many outdoor options allowing visitors and
locals to enjoy the beautiful weather that Arroyo Grande experiences nearly
all year long (it seldom gets below 55 degrees as a daytime temp during the
mild Central Coast winter.)
The most
popular items on the Village menus include sandwiches, salads and burgers.
Surrounded by wineries that dot the hills of the Central Coast Wine Country,
you'll discover many quality wines on even a fast food menu that also
included beers. McClintock's (not shown) has long been known as a regional
favorite. The meals are hearty, tasty and served up daily from breakfast to
dinner. For coffee in the village, you can get spectacular seasonal
frappes, mochas and lattes at Andreini on Branch Street. In addition to a
smooth Chai Freeze or Blueberry Bananza Smoothie, munch on some healthy
greens in dishes such as Southwest Chicken Salad that includes jack
cheese, avocado, bell peppers and a salsa ranch dressing, served with
ciabatta bread. Taco Loco, a
restaurant with big servings of burritos, tostados and other Mexican foods.
The building was constructed near the turn of the 20th century. You'll find
it on East Branch Street, the heart of downtown. Park behind the building in
the free public lot to enjoy the Walking Bridge. You can enter many
businesses from the back side of the shops and exit on Branch, where you'll
find numerous restaurants, antique and gift stores and the Walking Tour maps
at the Visitor Center. It's a small, friendly town so just ask anybody
working there to point you in the right direction. Continue driving on
Branch and you'll head for the wineries. Or get back on the 101 Highway and
stop down the road 10 minutes in Pismo Beach.
