Restaurant: Camilo's California Bistro
Location: 2128 Colorado Blvd
Type of restaurant: California cuisine
They stipulated: Camilo's has a small children's menu, but we snuck in Evan's pre-made lunch, which was a tad healthier than the cheese sandwich or bean burrito they had on the menu. No one complained.
We stipulated: Following an event at the Blogger Kid's preschool, we were hungry for a close-by lunch... but weren't sure what we were in the mood for. Maria suggested Camilo's, where she had dined quite frequently over the past month.
What we ordered: Mike -- grilled chicken sandwich (chicken breast marinated in fresh rosemary, virgin olive oil and fresh herbs, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, with pasta salad); $8.95. Maria -- Santa Fe chicken salad (grilled chicken, avocado, tomatoes, black beans, corn, red onions, pasilla chiles, cotija cheese, chips and lettuce, tossed with cilantro cream dressing); $9.95.
High point: The chicken sandwich held up well later that evening, when I was able to utilize the large sandwich's leftovers for dinner.
Low point: Service was a tad unattentive. Took a while for the food to come out.
Overall impression: Nice spot, decent food, perhaps not overly remarkable. Not necessarily a first-choice destination, but one that's a good fall-back when other plans fail. Convenient to us, and since we frequently find ourselves in Eagle Rock, it's a nice spot to have on Colorado Blvd.
Chance we'll go back: Probably, especially if we're looking for a slightly classy place in the 'hood with decent prices.
