Proof again that the best things come in the smallest packages. The Ahi Jerky was the best jerky we've ever had, and the Smoked Oysters were amazing - try them even if you think you don't like oysters!

The Smokehouse is one of the most popular places in Cayucos. They are famous for their albacore tacos, but the shrimp tacos are my favorite. Their smoked chicken salad is wonderful, it includes tomatoes, sliced black olives, diced celery, diced apples, shredded carrots, and sunflower seeds.
