Give El Papagayo a try in Meyers. Good burritos etc.. beer as well.
Also, for Thai, try 'Thai One On' on lower Kingsbury.
Blue Dog Pizza is fantastic. I wish the location were better. I have not tried the Blue Dog Pizza at the bowling alley yet.
Getaway Cafe in Meyers is also great if you feel like splurging.

El Papagayo is good but not so much authentico. Tacos Jalisco (I think it's called) is pretty darn good. It's Blue Dog @ the bowling alley and Bob Dog in Meyers. I think the owners used to be partners and went their seperate ways. Both offer great pizza though.

Good call on Freshies. Especially in the summer once their deck opens up. am getting a tour at Woodfords from Dan so not sure i am at liberty to invite more folks.
Here is more info on South Lake Tahoe/ El dorado Farmers markets that somebody emailed me (i think the person doesnt want their name posted)
if you're heading up hwy 50, you're basically hitting the jackpot because there is so much ag in el dorado county and there are lots of stops pretty much right off the highway, in apple hill.
the most simple instruction for people heading up highway 50 is to go to apple hill on their way up the hill - exit schnell school road in pville, turn left, and then turn right on carson road. you'll hit lots of farmstands and you can take that road up to camino and jump on the highway again there by the gas station / pizza place, since carson road runs paralell to the highway. how perfect is that? there are also several wineries and a couple of breweries up there. everything is very clearly labeled because it's a destination spot for agricultural tourism. you can also, when you get to the junction at high hill ranch, turn left on north canyon road and go to some of the places out there.
you can also stop in at the chamber of commerce on main street in placerville, and get a map of apple hill, and more info on ALL the county farms. the chamber commerce is about a quarter of a mile down from the cozmic cafe.
in placerville, on saturday mornings in spring thru sept there's a farmer's market across from the local organic cafe - the cozmic cafe (it's a pretty fun place to hang - they have alpenglow coffee - the tibetan monks are there right now - they did a mandala) the cozmic cafe is a great place to catch a bite if you missed the market and lunch, and there's always super cool stuff happening there and lots of fun interesting people who love to share info w/eachother about health and wellness hang out there. yoga classes and all sorts of fun stuff go on all the time, too, and free wireless.
in south lake tahoe there is also a weekly farmer's market.

btw i think that one of your slt guides mentioned that there's a safeway off placerville drive - it's a BigLots now - but if they drive down the road a bit, there's a raleys. and going down a bit further there's an excellent health food store, Noah's ark - and you can shop there, then turn left and just follow the road back onto the highway. watch out for the chp because they're hiding out a lot trying to catch speeders thru the construction zones, particularly further down the hill by the casino - the speed limit thru there is 55. there is a new safeway but the intersection is a major hassle and they are more expensive and their natural foods section sucks!!! it's off missouri flat road, which is the exit before pville drive.
the grocery outlet up in the main part of placerville also usually has organic stuff as well - exit at schnell school, turn right, and then left on broadway and you're there. i just got a bunch of organic energy bars there. their freshness date is next month so i put them in the freezer.
for people headed to cosumnes gorge (i don't know why you'd want to go in summer except for maybe the swimming hole but watch out for snakes) - tomary's tomoatoes on pleasant valley road has local produce as well as all sorts of gorgeous rare tomatoes... the heirlooms are my favorite. they are also very pretty

Chris, no worries dude! I was actually just trying to find a way to get info on Woodfords Cyn myself! In addition, I've found the Safeway at Sly Park to be easy, in and out. Of course, I'm usually going down the hill. If you check out any wine in Camino, my friends family, last name Chisano, no idea of the wineries name, make some good stuff! Check it out if you get a chance.
Edited to say that yes, this guy will be at D Sky on St Pattys day.

Tacos Jalisco has great Mexican food, but it is in Truckee, so it's a little bit of a drive from South Lake Tahoe.

I was thinking of the Jalisco that is in SLT.
The one in Truckee is pretty much my all time favorite though.
Guess it's calles Taqueria Jalisco.

T's Burritos in Incline is the bomb. I think the actual name is T's Mesquite Rotiserie. I'm gonna have to get Mexican for lunch now.

I like Izzy's better than Burger Lounge.
Good mexican in SLT = that place right by Sprouts (down the road just a bit towards the Y, by the mountain book store - I'm spacing the name of both the bookstore and the restuarant)
It's authentic and good pitchers of marg's
Cheap, too
