Tour of Cool Valley Haunts, Episode 4: SIERRA'S!

I needed a central location for a Twitter date recently (thanks, Sheena!), and also required margaritas. Hmmmm... Where to go? I wanted somewhere Woodland-Hillsish. But I didn't feel like Sagebrush, or El Torito, or Acapulco...

Then I remembered Sierra's. We used to eat at Sierra's when I worked at Sebastian! It was yummy! Plus I was thinkin', Sierra's is technically a "cool old valley haunt" now, so I could do a blog post about it -- always a nice bonus. And so, here we are.

Sierra's was started by the same folks who started Mission tortillas! I did not know that 'til now. They also own the Mission Burrito restaurants. Sierra's opened in 1969 at the corner of Vanowen & Canoga.

My photos do not REMOTELY do it justice. The decor inside is just AWESOME. And the food is great! Stick-to-your-ribs mexican. Not to mention the steamiest fajitas I have EVER seen!

What are we waitin' for?! ¡Vamanos!

First time for everything...

Y'all aren't gonna believe this... but tonight, for the first time EVAR, me & Mr. Siegel HAD MARGARITAS TOGETHER. I KNOW! How bizarre that we never had, after 20 freakin' years together! It hadn't even occurred to me til today!

Not only were these awesome margaritas, but this Los Toros place in Chatsworth is an INCREDIBLE find! It's been there since 1967. The food is FANTASTIC. ¡Muy bien! ¡Yo recommendo mucho!
