You can’t hardly help talk about Ramona Events, these days, without talking about the recent flash floods that devastated families and parts of the community, last weekend. As is typical of Ramona Food and Clothes Closet, they are “Johnny on the Spot,” with immediate, practical assistance to families in crisis in Ramona. Vesna Curry of…
This place continues to impress me with their original offerings of tasty pizzas. They’re all cooked so well and use fresh, high quality ingredients. Here I tried the Margherita. $8.50 for a small, it’s a thin crust pie with olive oil, garlic, oregano, tomato, Parmesan, mozzarella, etc. the whole thing is then drizzled with a…
There is so much to do in Old Town Ramona.

Coming up on Saturday, April 25, 2015 Old Town merchants are hosting a special…
I finally made it to Amerient this evening. I haven’t been there since it was the Old TelCo, back in the day… I ordered my favorite Chinese go-to, Kung Pao Chicken. Since I was there between 3-5pm I was able to take advantage of early bird pricing. It was only $8.50 and included soup and…

Huevos con jamon at Mariscos this morning for breakfast. $7.99 gets you a huge plate of eggs & ham served with rice, beans and tortillas. It’s a great breakfast at a good value. Chips & salsa are good too. They have a selection of both Mexican and American breakfast offerings. Review by Dan Edwards Published…

Had an outstanding pizza recently at Mamma Rosa! My boy and I shared a medium sausage & pepperoni. Perfect crust with just the right amount of cheese (generous). Here they put the pepperoni under the cheese. I actually prefer on top so it gets the crispy edges while baking. I’m sure they would make it…
The next Ramona taco shop we tried on our carne asada burrito challenge was Los Rancheros. Back in the day this was actually a Rally’s. You might be able to tell from the architecture. This turned out to be our favorite carne asada burrito in town for a variety of reasons. We also had the…
