    We had another great dinner at California Dreaming. We ordered the hibiscus margarita and shrimp tacos, both were delicious. The margarita was just right - not too sweet. The shrimp tacos were battered and fried with a jicama slaw. We also ordered the baked potato soup that had nice chucks of potato with bacon and cheese added right before it was served. The wait staff are amazing and made our dinner fun. Cheers to our next visit!
