Old Town Mexican Cafe

Delicioso!

Home of the world's best fish taco.  Says who?  Says ME.

I ordered a 3-Item Combo consisting of a Chicken Enchilada, Fish Taco and Chile Relleno.  I then proceeded to eat an entire basket of chips and drink a Raspberry Margarita.

Therefore, I was full four bites into my dinner entree.  But, guess what?  I finished the plate because it was so f**king good.  Story of my life.

The mariachis were awesome AND had a great sense of humor.  They serenaded my soon-to-be 23-year old male cousin with a quince song.  Gracias, amigos.

Olive Pit

Go ahead...try olive them!

Olive Pit
2156 Solano Street
Corning, CA


If you're driving anywhere near Tehama County and don't spot one of Olive Pit's 327 billboard ads, you clearly need to be paying more attention to your surroundings!

A popular stop among locals and tourists alike, Olive Pit continues to supply passersby with burgers and frosties like they have for over four decades.  The main attraction, however, is the expansive gift shop with more olive products than you can imagine.  I haven't tried olive body butter, but I'm sure it beats the crap out of Jergens.

Almond-stuffed, jalapeno-stuffed, pickled or smoked -  you can find them all here.  In fact, you can taste nearly every variety, along with olive oils and other products, at the hosted olive tasting bar.  Personally, I'm not a fan of green olives...but I will admit I developed a fondness for their house-made Chocolate Extra Virgin Olive Oil.  Big surprise.
