San Diego restaurants are bad

Well, I still stand FIRM on my opinion in disagreeing with your small repitoir of street food and food experience in general whether local in san diego or your extensive traveling in Mexico..My travels consist of Europe, Asia, South and central America but especially all over Mexico and Guatemala, I know very well the definition of a cart vendors food for sale, and the "street food" that I refer to has to do with the roots of street food and how they interlink to today's restaurant food.
My entire family is Hispanic so I speak from experience. Also, FYI Anthonys does have take away food...and you I do see people eating cesar salads walking around Sea Port Village and other areas not just at fairs. Tacos al Carbon warm corn tortillas with chopped carne asada and fresh salsa were always street food in Tijuana and have always been found in San Diego since I was a child....they are ROOTED in San Diegos food history. Cesar salad is part of that history as well, you can't name very many countries that do not serve that on their menus today...anyway, I have a life, I'm done with this reduntant conversation with people who are stuck in their small thinking.

San Diego restaurants are bad

Sorry DiningDIva I disagree with your assessment about street food, that is what we have always had going for us in San Diego since the 60's i was eating tacos al carbon in San Diego born from Tijuana taco stands...fresh ceviche with cilantro, lime, shrimp, cucumbers, avacado, hot sauch and crackers served in a big glass sundae cup...and the Sea Food is a shining star here in San Diego, that started years and years ago with Anthonys Fish Grotto's clam chowder and fresh fish daily, with the Louie Salad's copied by many restaurants, and lets not forget the famous cesar salad everyone eats world wide created in our own backyard in Tijuana. wow, you have surely been deprived from your own roots.

San Diego restaurants are bad

I'm a San Diego native and I disagree with your assessment of San Diego's taco shop food being new, I grew up eating rolled tacos from taco shops in Chula Vista...12 rolled tacos with guac, sour cream and pico de gallo for 5 dollars. Even before the rolled tacos, every poor to rich family that I have known and heard of turns to the stand by of carne asada at the beach, park, or lavish back yard pool parties. Why? because it is a San Diego staple. Regardless of the "time line" when this taco shop opened and that fish taco arrived, if anyone bothered to read the original thread, the question was regarding for some advice on good food in San Diego today! and NOWHERE can you find San Diego rolled tacos freshly made 24 hours a day.. What Burrito culture are you talking about? you were not in high school until the 90's? that explains it...its been around much longer.
