Ever watch Rachel Ray on the Food Network ? Well, once she presented an episode on Santa Barbara. She ate at the S.B. Shellfish Company of the Wharf, The Camino Real Cafe ( I believe that’s the name of the place) in Goleta, and Cold Springs Tavern off of Highway 154.

Now I’m not saying that those were the Best or the Worst picks . . . just that for Santa Barbara on $40.00 she and her crew sure wore out some Rubber and Gas to find those deals. Here at SBLocal.com we like to keep it strictly very Local. Like a short walk downtown or a quick cheap Bus ride.

So for this first installment of Pictured Foods . . . . I Give you Carne Asada from Local Favorite Restaurant, owned and operated locally for over 30 yeras: Rudys Restaurant in Paseo Nuevo Mall.

At $6.41 this was a big meal for one person. Tell them you want a Burritto, Plated, sometimes it’s alot easier than eating one of Rudy’s Very Large Burrittos by hand. I also had an extra Large Tortilla, great for picking up the Steak morsels, Beans & Rice and then pouring your choice of 3 different Salsas. Drinks optional, but water is free. Second Choice shown here is the Chicken Enchilada. Lots of Food for a mere price of around $7.00. It’s more than a meal, it’s a Meal and a Snack!

P.S.: I am not an employee of Rudy’s Restaurants! I just happen to eat there often.
