There are plenty of delicious places to eat in Truckee. Where do locals go these days when they are short on time and need to grab and go, or conversely, where do they like to enjoy a good meal for a more relaxed dining experience?
This month’s question is: Where do you like to get food in Truckee when you are in a rush versus when you want to sit down and take your time?
Michelle Santos, Donner Lake
Lawyer
Full Belly Deli for a quick bite or Donner Lake Kitchen since it’s close by me. For a sit-down dinner, I’ll go to Great Gold, Drunken Monkey, or Pianeta.
Dulce Lopez Diaz, South Lake Tahoe
Owner of Vayaclean
If I’m in a rush I like to go to Wild Cherries. On Fridays there’s a street elote vendor on Donner Pass Road by the high school. For a sit-down meal, I’ll go to Tacos Jalisco.
Christy Hall, Truckee
Owner of Kalifornia Jean Bar
If I’m in a rush, I’ll get the grab ’n’ gos at New Moon. For a sit-down meal, I love to go to Moody’s, Tangerine, and Great Gold.
Aaron Stabel, Sierra Meadows
Behavior analyst
When I’m in a rush, I’ll go to Red Truck. For a sit down, I love to take the wife out to Pianeta.
Charlotte Rayfield, Martis Peak
Word After Word
I’ll probably go to Burger Me if in a rush. For a sit down, I’ll usually go to Bar of America. If I have the time and money, then Drunken Monkey.
