Tonight we went to Cali Comfort during Happy Hour to enjoy a dinner. Socorro our server was so nice as she took our order for 2 Pacifico beers at only $3.00. We ordered a Brisket Dinner plate which had delicious and tender BBQ Brisket, with some BBQ Beans, Jalapeno Corn Bread Muffin, Crispy Seasoned French Fries, and some wonderful Jalapeno BBQ Sauce. Tiffany the Food Runner also brought out our other orders which included a Pulled Pork Taco, because it was Taco Tuesday Night, and some Crispy Chicken Wings with Celery and Carrots, which were also very good. But the Big Star of the night was the homemade Peach Cobbler with Ice Cream. There are no words I can say to explain to you how tasty and the unbelievable flavors this dessert has. You have to come in to Cali Comfort just for this dessert ! Happy Hour was again a Pleasure !

The level of barbecue produced in this dive off-the-beaten path near San Diego makes an hours-long road trip worthwhile. To say it is mouth-watering describes only part of the story. It is eye-watering, and tongue-watering, ear-watering...what have you. All of the senses get involved here. There is even a still that falls over the place. Like you are in a church or library. Although the owner treats people with golden oldies from the 60s and 70s, the people sitting in this dark and dank little cafe seemed singularly focused on their food. As well they should. And there is a congregational atmosphere here. For sure, this qualifies as 'soul' food. Specifics: Brisket that is tender and deeply flavored (call ahead, they run out of this), juicy and smoky BBQ chicken, ribs...the ribs are like 'where-have-you-been-all-my- life?' good. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. Sides are a nice complement to the meat, but the meat is the reason to come here. Mac and cheese, beans, and corn bread are good supporting characters, but not the star by any means (so don't be disappointed). Still, worth trying. You need something to eat with the meat. Prices are on the high side, but reasonable considering the location (near San Diego, albeit in a sketchy strip mall), and the quality of what you get. Bring cash. They take cards but cash is easier and faster, and there is always a line.Across the way is an annex to the restaurant, a food stand owned by the same guy that sells only fried items. That's where you go to get their delicious fried okra. They will bring it to you. Just let them know you will be dining at the restaurant. That's also where you will use the restroom.Get something for the road! You won't regret it.

Loaded Fries ($8.50) is topped with your choice of meat, BBQ sauce, chipotle sour cream, salsa fresca, and shredded cheese. In this case, Texas-style brisket was the meat of choice. The brisket is meaty and beefy. The complex flavors and textures from the sweet & smoky BBQ sauce, gooey cheese, slightly spicy chipotle sour cream, and the refreshing salsa keep your mouth and taste buds happy-happy. The portion is large enough to share as an appetizer or side with a sandwich. Rating: 4.75/5BBQ Parfait ($7.99) is an item that started at the farmers market with everything in a cup so attendees could eat and still shop. The presentation is fantastic and actually looks like a parfait or sundae. Layers of beef, mashed potatoes, and sauce artfully make a full meal in a cup. The mashed potatoes are creamy and dense. The brisket is more flavor forward on this item and really shines through with the BBQ sauce. This would be great with pulled pork too! Rating: 4.75/5RW Burger is a 1/3 lb. beef patty topped with onions rings, bacon, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, and BBQ sauce. It is an absolute behemoth of a burger. The flavor profile is reminiscent of a Western Bacon Cheeseburger, but much better. Grab some napkins âcuz this oneâs a hot mess! Rating: 4/5
