My family loves TIO LEO'S MEXICAN RESTAURANT in Carmel Valley and we visit there often. We consider ourselves connoisseurs of Mexican cuisine and have certain criteria for selecting our favorite restaurants in specific categories. One of our first criteria is that the tortilla chips in a Mexican restaurant should be hot and fresh when served. Also, the flavor should be authentic corn, and lastly, the salsa accompanying the tortilla chips should be fresh. We have found that to be the case at Tio Leo's. We especially like that each diner gets their own serving of salsa, thus you can "double dip" to your heart's delight!
Our lunch and dinner favorites are the flautas, chile rellenos, carne asada taco basket and enchiladas to name a few. The rice and frijoles are delicious and portions are good. This is not gourmet Mexican food, but after years of living in Mexico, this comes as close to original Mexican food as any restaurant I have found in San Diego. Give it a try... Ole!
Tio Leo's is located at 3510 Valley Centre Drive in Carmel Valley - at the end of the cul de sac and adjacent to I-5 and the Marriott.
It was reported recently that vacant homes may need special insurance coverage. An empty unsold house 
is a problem. When a homeowner moves out and the house remains empty, it may continue to be protected by homeowners insurance for risks such as fire, as long as the premium is paid. But after 30 days of vacancy, things like vandalism, water damage caused by broken pipes, and theft are no longer covered. Some policies cease coverage after 60 days. Exclusions in coverage for vacant properties are not new. Insurance companies believe that damage to a home is more likely when no one is living in it and that certain things grow worse with inattention. They even reserve the right to cancel what coverage remains in force when they learn of an extended vacancy. This potential gap in coverage could be a problem for owners.
Check with your insurance company to see if they provide you a policy such as "Vacant Property & Liability Insurance". If not, Coldwell Banker is affiliated with NRT Insurance Agency and can give you a quote. Their number is (888) 717-1776 or visit their website at www.nrtinsurance.com.

Thinking of moving to Carmel Valley in San Diego, also known to locals as "East Del Mar"? Today I would like to introduce you to one of the most affordable single family home developments in Carmel Valley. It is the Carmel Village development.
CARMEL VILLAGE is a small enclave of fifty homes situated just off of Highway 56 and Carmel Country Road. The homes range in size from 2,145 to 2,285 square feet with 3 to 4 bedrooms and 2 ½ to 3 bathrooms.
