In May 2014, Cristina Amoroso was a high-paid financial analyst for a global oil company and Paola Richard was a journalist and international media consultant for Italian ministries moved from Rome directly to Carlsbad to bring the authentic taste of the worldwide renowned Italian gelato.
Their passion and research for the most outstanding traditional gelato brought Chef Cristina to Università dei Sapori in Perugia, Italy (University of Flavors) http://www.universitadeisapori.it, where she attended long term courses in artisanal gelato production, frozen pastries and decoration, working and learning from some of the most famous Italian and Sicilian gelato masters.

Señor Grubby’s started in 2008 by a group of local guys looking to put a twist on the local Mexican fair. After numerous trips to Mexico and local Mexican & American breakfast spots they noticed missing elements that they wanted to highlight.
-
We put our own twist on Mexican and American favorites creating what we like to call “California Grub”. Our primary focus is Mexican influenced street tacos and an infused breakfast. We have a great variety of craft beers both on draft and in the bottle. Great food & casual atmosphere creating a great experience for everyone to enjoy!
Try their pastor or carnitas tacos all day Tuesday for $1.50 (originally $2.55). Tuesday specials also extend to drinks. Quench your thirst with $3 Mexican draft beers. Have your fill with $2 fish and duck chicharrones.
