This is not a food blog, nor do I intend for it to become one. However, we do have lots of good places to eat, and once in a while, I’ll share my experiences. I am also a nacho guy, with a weekly family Nacho Night (complete with movie and popcorn) at a day of the week that varies based on whether or not it’s volleyball season.

Hopscotch is someplace we don’t go often because we are West Bay people and don’t get to the East Bay often. Which is odd because it’s not like the area is THAT far away. It is a pain in the butt to get to, though, especially with summertime traffic and the plethora of lights between here and there. Still, we made our way over to those visit the east siders. And their food.

Hopscotch Nachos

And there they are! The nachos of Hopscotch. Not a huge plate, but enough for one person. They got a smidge to close to the edge of the oven, but a little char builds characters. The pulled pork was tasty and overall they were pretty good, though the green sauce was too sour for my taste. Sans-sauce would have made the nachos better. And I know nachos.

One criticism I have is the 3% surcharge that restaurants (like Hopscotch) charge for credit card purchases. One of the (many) reasons people hate TicketMaster is that they add 30% to their tickets after you are already paying a bunch of money. Now, 3% is not 30%, but some of us (read: me) do get irritated when we have to pay even more money for various things. If you want to charge more, add a quarter onto the price on the menu and call it good. Restaurants that do things like add extra fees are less likely for a repeat visit.

Thus ends the Public Service Announcement.
