Let’s face it. We don’t always have the time to cook and slave away in the kitchen to make a wholesome, healthy meal. Some fast food places are finally catching onto this and are offering up some healthier options to help us out. This is where Del Taco comes in.  It has become one of my go to places for a quick  yet delicious meal.

Del Taco introduced Turkey Tacos earlier this month, making the company the first Mexican fast food chain to offer ground turkey as a protein option. Del Taco’s Turkey Tacos feature lean, seasoned ground turkey that has 33 percent less fat than its seasoned beef option  and offers the same craveable flavor. I personally liked the Turkey Tacos more than I like their beef tacos.  Each Turkey Taco has only 150 calories.  Del Taco is also offering up a Turkey CrunchTada Tostada, an extension of their popular CrunchTada product line.

At the low price of $1.29, the new Turkey Tacos are served in a crunchy corn or warm flour tortilla with freshly grated cheddar cheese, crisp lettuce and pico de gallo, made fresh daily at each Del Taco location.

Happy 1st Anniversary Dominique’s Kitchen! Special Escargots Menu to Celebrate!

Happy 1st Anniversary Dominique’s Kitchen! Special Escargots Menu to Celebrate From 10/18-10/21!

By Erin

Earlier this year I was introduced to this wonderful place called Dominique’s Kitchen. You can see more about my first experience at Dominique’s by clicking here. This week I was invited out to sample their special anniversary menu.
Now they are celebrating their 1 year anniversary here in the South Bay, in Redondo Beach, CA. To celebrate this most grand occasion they are offering a very special menu from 10/18-21 where three to four different escargot items will be on special from the list below each day. At Dominique’s making good food is an everyday occasion.
All of the items on this special menu were very tasty I must say! I could not pick a favorite as they were all so different, and had different flavors and textures to love about them! If you have ever had the chance to try escargots before, this is definitely your place to try them out at as they are delicious! I was as skeptical about trying them as the next person may be who has never had them before, but boy am I glad I have an open mind when it comes to trying out new foods. I really enjoy having escargots now! =)
I hope you get the chance if you are in Southern California to come and try out some of these special items, or that you will come and try what they have to offer the next time you are in the South Bay!
