Applicados from Los Buenos (somewhere on Calle Nueve)

Friday, July 7. 2006
In mexico, a burro is slang for an uneducated person. This restuarant says that they sent their burritos to school and turned them in to applicados (graduates). These suckers are huge, they cut them in half and serve them on two plates. They're full of carne asada (excellently marinated) and some cheese. I cover them in guacamole, onions and cilantro. They are slightly fried (so the tortilla has a bit of crisp to it). They cost just under $6 and come with plenty of stuff to put on them.


Street Tacos in Ensenada (Riveroll and Calle Ocho)

Friday, July 7. 2006
Whenever I'm in mexico, I eat as many tacos as I can. They come from all sorts of vendors in a varity of quality but all look pretty much the same. I've never gotten sick from them, but some people do. They grill the skirt steaks on wonderful mesquite charcoal and make their tortillas fresh. They cost about $0.75 each. Two of them will make for a nice meal, but I try to force as many in as I can. I believe I had 6 that time.

Machaca Breakfast Burrito from Cotixan Taco Shop

Friday, July 7. 2006
On the way to Mexico, we stopped at our usual mexinsure / breakfast place. It can be found off the F street exit on the 805.


I think it only cost $3.75 and was more than I was able to eat.

Pulled Pork Sandwich from T.G.I. Fridays

Wednesday, July 5. 2006
The BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich is pretty good. I think it cost $8.95 and when combined with a happy hour Sam Adams makes for a pretty decent meal. It comes with their Jack Daniel's Sauce, which I only used with my fries - it conflicts with the BBQ pork flavor.
