Royal Mandarin update:
To follow-up on a comment made on my December 30th post by Johari, regarding the fire at Royal Mandarin. You can see a more detailed story here. I decided to take adrive down to National City myself and check out what's going on.
As you can see, the entrnaces and a couple of the plate glass windows have been boarded up.
What was really interesting was the large group of folks in the place…. lot's of chatter going on…..
To get to the point, it looks like Royal Mandarin will be reopening soon, though I think a March date is pretty ambitious.
Taco Truck Stuff:
Over the holidays, I noticed that the Mariscos German Taco Truck was gone from the lot on the corner of Balboa and Clairemont Drive. I hoped that it was only for a break over the holidays, and I was rewarded with a sighting of the truck this past week. So it looks like the truck is back.
On a sadder note, it looks like the La Princesita Taco truck is gone from the Linda Vista location for good. A sad day indeed…..
