Mixed seafood ceviche. Served on a soft flour tortilla with cheese, red cabbage, salsa fresca and white sauce. $3.25
South Beach Bar & Grille, San Diego CA
Hmm, this was kinda gross! It had a weird flavor and a mushy texture. Not one of their successful tacos, yuck.

Battered and fried pollock. Served on a soft flour tortilla with cheese, red cabbage, salsa fresca and white sauce. $3.25
South Beach Bar & Grille, San Diego CA
Mmm, this was SO yummy! I do wish that they had used corn tortillas or at least grilled these lame flour tortillas though. Besides that, I really enjoyed this delicious and fairly sizeable fish taco!
Ocean Beach pier. Such a beautiful day!
Battered and fried. $0.99 each
El Zarape, San Diego CA
Omg, these fish tacos were amazing! And I wasn’t even drunk when I had them, lol! At a buck a pop, you really can’t go wrong with these delicious bites. El Zarape was packed when we went and I’m sure that’s a constant since the food is pretty darn good.
Ocean Beach pier gate.
Two corn tortillas filled with marinated pork, cilantro and onion. Served with caramelized onions, salsa, and rice and beans. $7
Chilango, San Francisco CA
Yuck, I did not enjoy this! The al pastor marinade the used was way different from anything I’ve tasted before. It was way too vinegary and super strong tasting. Even drenching the tacos in salsa didn’t really help. I don’t think I’ll ever order this from Chilango again.
Rice and beans.

Taco Bell, Palm Springs CA
OK, this is why I’m definitely NOT a foodie. I love me some Taco Bell after a night of partying, lol! I always drench my nachos supreme in a bunch of Fire sauce and go to town!
Chicken chorizo, eggs, scallions, peppers and jack cheese on a bed of black bean chili topped with salsa fresca, avocado and sour cream. Served with house potatoes and whole wheat toast. $9.95
Crepevine, San Francisco CA
This definitely filled me up. The scramble actually comes as a breakfast burrito, but I requested it not wrapped in a flour tortilla. I don’t need the extra carbs, hehe!
Savory crepe with avocado, bell peppers, tomatoes, sauteed onions and cheddar topped with salsa fresca and sour cream and spicy chipotle on the side. Served with house potatoes and mixed greens with vinaigrette. $9.50
Crepevine, San Francisco CA
To me, these crepe places tend to be cookie-cutter and predictable which is both a good and bad thing. You always know what to expect, but nothing is ever new and interesting. That’s why quality is the deciding factor when comparing these establishment. Crepevine is pretty good. The food is yummy and the ingredients are of nice quality.
Grilled steak, prawns, rice, black beans, guacamole, salad, salsa and 4 corn tortillas. $13.50
Zapata Mexican Grill, San Francisco CA
I was pleasantly surprised by this plate – I thought it was going ot suck! The prawns were acutally really good though. They were large, juicy and tender. The grilled steak could have been more tender and less salty, but it still tasted great with everything else. And of course, they make sure to pack the plate! 🙂

Grilled chicken, black beans, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa. $8.75
Zapata Mexican Grill, San Francisco CA
Gut bomb alert! But super nachos are one of my many guilty pleasures. Granted I don’t order this often, but they are especially delicious after a night of partying, lol!

House margarita made with well tequila and lime. Pitcher $20
Puerto Alegre, San Francisco CA
These margaritas aren’t THAT good, but people seem to like them. I personally think they’re on the bland side and over priced. The service was also super slow during this visit.
Chips and salsa. Complimentary

Catch of the day (broadbrill swordfish) with vegetable tempura, black bean and corn salsa, queso fresco (?).
Roy’s, Waikoloa HI
This was a pretty thick cut of swordfish, yeah! I appreciated their straighforward preparation and clean plating.
Waikoloa’s crisp pork potstickers. Spicy peany curry sauce and Thai aromatics. $9.50
Sorry for the horrible pic, but it really didn’t taste that great anyway. 😦

Mmm, everything I like served as a breakfast taco! This was delicious and I love the slightly runny eggs!
