While making a quick stop at Pezzini Farms, I noticed a food truck outside advertising fried…read moreartichokes. I'm a sucker for food trucks and a sucker for artichokes, so this was a no brainer for me. $6 for an order of fried artichokes and $1 for French fries. You certainly won't get full from the meal, but being in the artichoke capital of the world (literally) I think it's pretty necessary to get an order or two. We had the Garlic Dijon and the Lemon Dill dipping sauces. They were both really good, but I think we liked the lemon a little better. You can buy any of the dips from the farm at a reasonable price. Sweet lady running the truck which makes you feel even better about making the stop.

Sweet lady running this truck (which I'm guessing jsut stays outside Pezzini Farms although on…read morewheels)... why do I think it doesn't move? Well the front right tire looked pretty darn flat to me and the lady didn't care and it's a great spot to have fried artichokes on hand. I wasn't that hungry yet but as I left Pezzini Farms, I felt like I had to buy some fried artichokes... almost like it was taboo for me not too... (kind of like bowing and doing rituals at temples in Japan even though I'm not religious, it's a cultural awareness/respect thing for me). 10 minutes and $6 got me a small batch of fried artichokes. They get them from Pezzini Farms ( I watched the lady go inside and grab several frozed fried artichokes from the liitle freezer, she must of sold out by the time I got there around 2pm) so why not sell them onsite?!? And... Castroville is the Artichoke Capital period. While waiting I got my money rewady... $6.25 because I saw a sign for extra dipping sauce (25 cents). But they were out of Ranch! Kind of bummed as were all the others waiting with me but we all opted for Garlic Dijon which was delish and pretty much tasted like Ranch with a lot of garilc... not even a hint of Dijon. Fine with me. I ate three and I was full. I saved the rest and just warmed up the other 6 pieces in the oven and fed my roommates. Crispy, hot and still lovely.

I paid $18 for a super and got a regular. So besides the $10 extra for nothing I paid for, the tortillas on both burritos were very overcooked and the burritos themselves were dry. It would've been very different if I would've ordered when I wasn't working all night and can't leave to point out what was wrong, but I was at work working night shift at the hospital and got these terrible burritos.

I hate even having to write this because I'm Hispanic and I always try to support Hispanic businesses, and the workers were super nice to me, but this experience was really frustrating and disappointing. To add to it, I paid $9 for two regular tacos for my coworker, which felt extremely overpriced for what we received.

The Power Plant Coffee and Store- which is directly next to the RinCon & Food Lab truck, has a plethora of plants on the inside- with an artsy, welcoming vibe. The exterior is spacious- with ample seating and unique artwork. To eat, I got the cheeseburger with truffle fries. The cheeseburger was outstanding, the smash patties had crispy, lacy edges and a balanced amount of salt. The cheese was creamy and sharp while the chili depended the flavor profile, giving a smokey, hearty tang to the burger. The buns were buttery and warm and the lettuce was fresh and crunchy. The whole thing was incredible. The service was conversational, friendly and matched the approachability of the restaurant itself.

Having said that you will find them creating excellent cuisine take away style outside The Power Plant Cafe. A locale I have Yelped in the past. Check out their days and hours as they sometimes vary. Now onto the food, tonight's menu was somewhat more limited as it was a special evening event. Featuring a Christian worship team providing wonderful soul filled spirit infused music. I chose the fish tacos, and my husband the burger special. Now I have sampled fish tacos all over the Monterey Peninsula and these were by far some of the tastiest I ever had the pleasure of sampling. The fish, rock cod was nicely crisped, and the slaw was crunchy with a wonderful avocado salsa with red onions. It came with a yogurt dill sauce I opted out of which they were more than accommodating to do. YUMMY, and two is plenty, and filling. My husband enjoyed his beautifully presented burger, seriously like something out of a Cuisine Magazine (see photo) and this was accompanied by some very flavorful and crunchy home made chips. Which my husband was kind to share.....a few. Way better than your standard side of fries. 5 Star all the way from ordering inside the Power Plant to picking it up from personable Martha and finding a nice table inside the fantastically decorated cafe. Cannot get enough of the casual and comforting vibe that can be found at this establishment. Partnership Extrodinaire, let's hope Rincon & Co. Food Lab chooses to stay at this locale for a while. I can hardly wait to come back and sample one of Martha's next level pastries. Be sure to stop by for a coffee or some stellar cuisine you will be pleased that you did.

We finally got the chance to check it out. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. The Prunedale Market is located along side the highway 101 freeway in the small town of Prunedale. It just takes a few long right turns to get there. Parking is easy and accessible out in the front parking lot. From the front, the market does not look like a popular BBQ spot. It looks like a simple small market store to grab quick snacks and drinks. Once inside there is a BBQ and deli section to your right. A small dining area is to your left. The decor is old fashioned and quaint. The 2 gentlemen greet you with friendly hospitality. We ordered the Tri tip sandwich, half slab of ribs which includes 2 potatoes and a cup of corn chowder. The pit master/owner Martin, who use to work for Original Joe's, was kind enough to also include a quarter chicken leg, a sausage, and extra ribs. It was so much food for our party of 3. Everything was delicious and hearty. The Tri tip sandwich was scrumptious with the flaming Fritos adding a nice crunchy texture and kick with every bite. The ribs were juicy and smokey. Potatoes complemented very well with the rest of the meat and chicken. Corn chowder was so tasty and creamy. I did not know corn chowder was that good. Overall we enjoyed our experience at the Prunedale Market. The staff were super nice and accommodating. They even offered for our son to grab some free ice cream to go. We politely declined. The prices were very reasonable. All that food fed us for the next 2 days. Lol. We hope to be back when we are in the area with other friends and family.
