Cheena's tacos in BOLA has my vote. She's right next to Las Hamacas.

Kate,
Thanks for the tip. Stopped there for lunch today. Both Ana and I preferred the shrimp tacos. Very good.

until at least 12 or 1 (haven't tried in the evening). There are only a couple of tables there, but everybody shares, and they'll package your food to
go if you wish.

I second that.... I used to live in the neighborhood and after seeing the crowds (especially on Sundays) I decided to try it... and became a regular
customer.

El Recreo es fantastico
We ate there headed down and back earlier this month. On the way down I ordered 36 carne asada tacos to go for the 12 in our caravan. They had them
made and wrapped to go in about 20 minutes. Where else can you feed 12 hungry vatos for 360 pesos?

Re: Taco Stands
I don't know if it's still there, but McLulu's taco stand in Loreto was the bomb when I was there about a decade ago. More recently I have loved the
Castillo's Fish Taco Stand in Ensenada.

tacos or tortas ahogadas
Very good fish tacos at the stand under the pedestrian bridge, on east side of main hwy, northern outskirts of Ensenada. you don't need name of
stand, just look for ped bridge.
Questions for y'all: where in san diego, TJ or north baja can you find good restaurant specialized in tortas ahogadas?

Yep, Lourdes (LuLu) is still there. Ate there last week. But like everywhere else, her prices have skyrocketed
taco de camaron = 20 pesos
taco de pescado = 15 pesos

A new stand for you to try, on the main drag, on the corner across from the park is "GAYRO". I like China, she was the only taco stand in town for a
while, but Gayro blows doors on China's, IMO.
5 carne asada tostadas
3 carne tacos
1 soda
100p
Very clean and lots of room to sit down and relax, watch the town go by.

That pedestrian bridge is gone...got hit last year by a truck that was too "tall" ...has yet to be replaced.

I think 'half' of it is still there, is that the one? Great tacos - we always hit it on the way out of town (pescado and cameron equally delicious).

Half of the foot bridge is still there, twenty feet above the ground. I think the city has dedicated it an art project to avoid the expense of
rebuilding it.

Well, at least you found out who kept hitting the bridge.

Probably better looking than some of the commissioned public art I've seen.

Now that's what I call a hearty meal. I think I'd want a second soda with all that.

There have been a couple of small, hole-in-the-wall restaurants in Rosarito that advertised them.
Tried one and the meal was tasty...but it was so spicy, and I like spice, that I stopped breathing and I couldn't finish the sandwich.
The place that I tried is gone - there may be others in Rosarito, just cruise slowly down the main boulevard (Benito Juarez) and look for a
handpainted sign or banner at a small streetside location.

Had a great torta ahogada last week at Taqueria Carnitas Tijuana in Antioch California, Railroad Avenue, half block south of Highway 4.
They also have them at my favorite taqueria in the world: Taqueria Otaez in Oakland, but the chicken tacos, and chorizo y papas tacos are so good
that I never got any further--will try the tortas ahogadas soon.

My first thought was to reply that I was on a diet.
Actually, it was byob for the other refreshments.
