I discovered Connie's Kitchen, this little turn-in-the-road gem on Pacheco Blvd/Pine that has maybe 12 seats total, only recently. Due to having the flu, I wanted some soup and it looked right. A friend had told me about Connie. When there, I read further about her story as framed on the wall, next to customer-specific house mugs that are like twice the size of a coffee cup for regulars for repeat and discounted soups.
A wonderful lady, Connie Collins Luna defeated cancer in literally rare form, and survives to carry on her cooking prowess, making friends along the way easily. I think everything is home cooked. It's real food. No processed stuff.
Her soups - amazing. Pumpkin soup? I wouldn't have thought - it was bomb! And her 'Thanksgiving Turkey' Sandwich is just as it's billed, with real cranberry and stuffing, but not too much - she apparently makes it all the time - such a treat to have places like this.
