Blondzies or Blondies?

Blondzies isn’t that great.. honestly I always thought it was a shitty move to move in not far from blondies and call it that. There is virtually zero name recognition from the other place in wa or OR or wherever they are from.

Well, as a Golden Shores/Topock kinda person, it's great something's going in. We are kind of limited, 30 minutes to any food if you don't want Silver Dollar or Hooch's. They've been doing some work, and looks like they are putting a patio in off the back.
We're kind of the river's red-headed stepchild. Anything new is appreciated ;)

Like the same Mexican restaurant that was over in desert hills? Now loco tacos or something like that?
Locos is the new name, new owners are great and have spent a ton on fixing up the shithole. They also bought the meth lab across the street and are going to have food trucks and a cigar bar.

Its BlondZee's .....She's a car person and owns this Camaro Z28 in her sign and also I guess sits in a glass garage at her restaurant in Oregon. She's getting rid of the old west theme here and turning it into a hot rod car theme type place. It will have a glass garage here as well and will display some of the customers cars and have something named after it on the

I hope so.
And hopefully that whack job on the other side is gone.
It's a private street and he made sure of that. I heard he dumped a bag of cement in someone's open convertible when they parked by his fence.
Desert Hills will be all storage and campgrounds soon

Yup, he is gone, they gave him $600,000 for the property since its zoned commercial, it looks better already, dumpster after dumpster of crap being hauled away. Any idea what they are building to the south of the main entrance? My guess is storage condos.

They rotate cars in and out of the garage. My buddies car is in it right now. Changes monthly.

She’s a resilient woman I’ll tell you that!

So BlondZee's is and will remain in Desert Hills. Has another place in Oregon. Has So So Food (per RD), but is into and displays cool classic cars.
But is apparently expanding.

Blondie's, is going up in Topock / Golden Hills, no classic cars but good Mexican and American Food.

Does this sum it up for those of us who don't get up to Desert Hills very often and haven't been to either of the two Blonde's places ?

Blondies was there and sold to Locos. Blondzees bought Golden Horseshoe. Two diff places less than a mile apart.

Storage out front. 2 homeowners in refuge doing the project

I will drive to golden Shores to Blondies, as the new Loco's sucks. Wife and I have been to Loco's half a dozen disappointing times.

Nobody is ever driving up to Golden Shores to eat Blondies. Good for the 200 people that live there. 👍🙄
I drove from parker to locos for lunch only to be insulted by the the manager of babaloos over and over then went on to meet the gm from Nordic. That strolled in.I had a great time!! I'll be going back again!

There is no good Mexican food at the river. Just mediocre shit, that will never be worth going out of your way to eat.

Lol. I wish we had better food here. Worst part about living here. Living in Parker is even worse. There is nothing to get excited about.
No better food than at home
We first moved here I was limited on cooking so we went out all the time
Next thing you know it was like having a mortgage payment
I could make nice surf n turf at home for what it costs to go out and eat a burger

You’re preaching to the choir. We learned how to cook, and honestly we make some really good meals. Probably saved a bunch of money doing it as well. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Figured you more of a old town Placentia guy for Mexican food. 😂
Q-Tortas! Medinas, 301 ate 'em all many times a week. I do have one spot I really like in Pico though. 😁

@RiverDave came down (to Parker) last night to have dinner. Found out first hand. The couple places here are packed. The food sucks. The service is even worse. Why someone can’t open something nice, and bring in a real manager to run it, is beyond me. It will make money and be packed all year. People have money and want somewhere nice to go. It’s not the river of the old days.

If the Blue Water invested in themselves, remodeled, cleaned, put some nice restaurants in, they would kill it.
