WORLD FARE: Eating Nemo at Tacos Nemo

June 7, 2017 mgardiner

It’s well settled fish tacos neither originated in San Diego nor emerged from Ralph Rubio’s head like Athena from Zeus’. Nor is it likely they originated in San Felipe where Rubio found them on a 1974 Spring Break trip. The truth of their origin is somewhat South of San Diego and … [Read more...]

FOOD TRUCK REVIEW: Hoangie’s Banh Mi on Wheels

March 30, 2012 MAG Leave a Comment

For some reason it did not occur to me until I was already on the way to a lunch at Hoangie's Banh Mi on Wheels food truck that my last (and first) food truck review involved a Banh Mi sandwich. Some people might think I'm partial to Banh Mi's. They would be right. For that … [Read more...]
