Heatwave in SD! Trip report highlights:
-- Chula Vista: Carnitas Michoacan -- seriously excellent carnitas to break the shabbos, tehn tasty adobada at Tacos El Gordo. South Bay taco heaven
not once but twice
-- Strawberry agua fresca at Tacos el Paisa
-- The Fishery, PB, local yellowtail and avocado on sourdough, seabass ceviche and Ballast Point Sculpin IPA.
-- Romescos's for ahi tostada and chiles en nogada, the sauce on the latter was sublime...
--Ahi and avocado torta and the laidback accents at El Pescador, La Jolla, como siempre...
-- Cheap fish tacos at Bahia don Bravo with a view of the sea
-- Mackeral in miso broth and sea urchin and scallop carpaccio at Okun Wan Dining, then plain tart yogurt with coconut jelly at Yogurt World on Convoy
-- Helms Brewing in a Kearny Mesa industrial park, especially the summer Pier Bier, and carne asada burrito at Super Sergios (nights on Convoy)
-- Mary's Donuts in Santee for the super twist, apple fritter, raised glazed and general atmosphere
-- Roadtrip to Popota, BC, Mex, for freshly caught crab fried in lard, local oysters, tuna belly ceviche and excellent bodysurfing, prepared by Los
Compadres (propietario: Oscar, de Sinaloa)
Popotla was only 40 minutes from the border crossing via an ABC bus to Rosarito and then a colectivo a few km south. The ultimate cheap date.
Tasty days in America's Finest. Til the next time..."
