No runs, four hits, three tacos

| | Comments (3)

Prep-dog ventured to Fontana today to see Redlands beat Fohi 5-0 in softball. Kim Bruins had a nice game for Redlands, allowing four hits and no runs. She also had two hits at the plate.

Meantime, Prep-dog also did pretty at the plate. I ventured to the nearby Miguel's Jr. taco emporium after the game and ordered my usual fare: Three tacos and a Diet Coke.

Restaurant reviews are not Prep-dog's thing, but I challenge my colleague David Allen at the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin to find a better taco in the I.E. than at Miguel's Jr. To the dog, they're perfect - a glorious melding of just-greasy-enough shell, chicken, cheese and lettuce (you can get beef, as well).

I gobbled them up in my Grand Am, while simultaneously shooing some gnats out of my car. The gnats, courtesy of Fontana's bug-infested field, are a different story entirely.

The bummer, I've learned, is that Miguel's Jr. is moving after more than 30 years at the same Citrus Avenue location. I'm not sure where the venerable instiution is headed - somewhere in Fontana, though. It will be worth the detour whenever I cover a game in Steel Town.

This is making me hungry. Prep-dog thinks a Miguel's is needed in San Berdoo.
