Canyons Restaurant at the Crossings

Well I can’t say that I’d planned the next stop in this series to occur at a golf course clubhouse, and yet that’s exactly where this one went down. Sometimes it’s just too much to ask a person to ignore the words “New!” and “taco” when you find them staring at you from the menu. Hey, I tried. Not very hard, mind you, but I tried.

Although the Chipotle Aioli is also offered on the Crispy Fish Tacos, it just seemed to me that the Southwestern Chicken Tacos would make a better partner.

The warm, soft tortillas sure paired well with the chicken and that aioli. While I think your best move would be to visit for the tacos themselves, the Borracho Beans sure held their own and need to be included in this conversation.

I’m not sure why this was the case, but we needed to request a side of salsa for our chips. Yeah, that’s worth the extra effort. A good salsa elevates the level of good chips and this was a good salsa.

We never even considered hitting a few golf balls during our visit and that didn’t matter a bit. Both the indoor and outdoor seating opportunities are plentiful and the setting is fairly serene. Having a stressed morning and need a calming lunch location in North County? We got you.

And that’s…Henry’s Take.
