Hey, I am not making things up, but if you don't know fish tacos were invented in San Felipe, that's not my fault. I know Ensenada also claims the
title. I remember buying them for 20 cents in San Felipe in 1977. I had to convince my friends they were good and betting them they couldn't eat just
one. I won that bet!

1977 is about 20 years after the typical recipe was perfected in Ensenada
Woke!

THE Original Taco Bending ?
A Mexican wrapping a tortilla around some fish would seem to be a pretty simple concept likely to go back decades farther than anyone imagines.
It's not exactly Rocket Science.

Reading 101: I said I bought fish tacos for 20 cents in 1977. Nothing was implied that was when they were invented.

As to Loreto Bay (NOT Loreto) - might as well get an Airbnb in Civano, outside Tucson, Az. Same thing. Loreto Bay is an enclave of Canadians that is
5 miles from a real Baja town. Get your feet wet in San Felipe - lot less hassle, travel time.

Me too, Phil! I also miss Charley's fruit bowls.
However, for a nice sit-down restaurant, I think Orlando's is hard to beat! Thank you for taking me there!
