Delicacheena loves unseasonably warm days and was treated to a beautiful Saturday in San Diego. The reason for the trip was Razorlight and Mohair, but, hey, you gotta eat lunch and dinner.
We made our third trip (the first two were in one day) to a hole-in-the-wall called Taco Surf located in Pacific Beach. The "surf museum" boards line the ceiling and share wall space with beach-themed paintings and photographs, attracts young freckled and bronzed males in board shorts and wetsuits. Overheard: "Dude, I knew this Persian guy. He went to Peru all the time, just because." "Wait, why did he go. ..." "Uh, I mean he was Peruvian."
In addition to burritos grandes and nachos, there are about five different types of crispy, rolled (taquitos) and soft tacos. We each ordered three, not remembering them to be as large as they were today. INK got a crispy potato covered with cojito cheese, a soft carnitas and a soft grilled mahi mahi. The strange, but satisfying mix of mashed potatoes and crunchy taco shell was her favorite. Was that season salt that tinged it red? The flavorful bits of carnitas were almost overwhelmed by the guacamole and may have been better plain. JM had crispy fried fish and carne asada soft tacos and finished with a rolled potato taco with a side of guacamole. UE had a similar meal, substituting the carne asada with carnitas.
So if you're ever in PB and want some Mexican (food) and the ramblings of surf boys...be patient finding a parking spot and try a potato taco!
