Discover Auburn
As the gateway to the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains, Auburn, California has a lot to offer in the way of restaurants. From tacos to pizzas, Thai noodles to barbecued meats, there are dozens of choices available. One particular cut of beef, the tri-tip, is especially popular in California and is a must if you try the local barbecue. Also popular is the local farm-to-fork movement. Although Auburn is at the base of the Sierra Nevadas, there are still plenty of options available for anyone looking to eat locally. California is also known for their craft beers. If that’s your scene, the local brewpub may be the perfect place to grab a bite to eat.
