Another meal I particularly enjoyed was a fish burrito we would get at Porkyland in La Jolla. Enormous! Full sized tortilla, cabbage, cheese, and a lightly fried fish, with their unique mild sauce. You had to hold it in both hands, and nobody asked for seconds!




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Baja style fish tacos are glorious.

Rubios will do, in a pinch.

Should've gotten out more. When it comes to fish tacos, claiming Rubios are outstanding is like saying McDonalds has outstanding burgers.


I surely do. I only get to whackyland 3 to 4 times a year. I split time between Palm Springs and Sandy Eggo. What would you suggest? Recommendations are appreciated.

The best fish taco that I know of in San Diego is found at Bay Park Fish Co. (a restaurant). Get the halibut upgrade for ~$1 extra.

There's also a place on Mission Bay, just east of the roller coaster as I recall. Sportsman's Seafood (fish n chips are excellent too) also there's Jalapeno's though I like their shrimp burrito - El Diablo style, better.

Best fish taco I ever had was out of a cart near La Bufadora in Ensenada, Baja California.

To me, the "California" burrito is the Mission burrito in San Francisco, a wrap stuffed with rice, beans, steak, cheese, avocado, sour cream, salsa. In fact, the founder of Chipotle was a cook in SF and decided to base a restaurant on his favorite food, starting in Colorado.

But a good Mission burrito blows away Chipotle's facsimile.

This. Or the fish market in Ensenada. A dozen
fish taco carts all hawking the same thing.
Four for a dollar when I was a young lad.
Good times.

The true Baja fish taco experience is difficult to replicate. Fins in SD does a decent job, too bad they dropped to one location. Rubios doesn't cut it. I could make fish sticks in tortillas at home. All this talk of Mission burritos has me jonesing for a trip to El Farolito.
