A few years back I claimed, “The Taco Stand is proof that San Diego tacos suck.” Hyperbole? A tad clickbaity? Maybe. Have I never enjoyed a good taco in town? Sure I have, but I stand by the notion that tacos south of the border tend to be superior to the majority of those in the … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: Fine dining Mexican in the East Village

I cannot definitively rule out the possibility that somewhere, on some street corner in San Diego, there are tacos as good as the ones Andrew Bent is serving. I also can’t rule out the technical possibility I’ll win the lottery today, but I certainly wouldn’t want to bet on it. … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE:  Tacos El Yaqui does backyard barbecue Rosarito-style

It used to be my Sunday ritual: wake up early to play 30-and-over Huff-n-Puff soccer—a gringo on a mostly Mexican team—then slowly sidle into the afternoon eating carne asada, drinking Tecates and telling exaggerated accounts of in-game exploits. While the tales should have … [Read more...]
