Spicy shrimp tacos are yummy!
[QUOTE=Rambo1969;2621109]Last weekend, I had the best fish tacos ever for $1 each from the seafood cart guy on ave consitution in front of Gloria bar- simply awesome. Each Tacos comes with two pieces of feed fried in batter. So a lot for $1.
I always have lunch in a hole in the wall place -very local / authentic & tasty. Not for Americans unless you are adventurous. Is is opposite the Sara Parking lot on see. Primera.
I saw two restaurants next Chicago club. One attached to it on right side as you face the club. Didn't have a name and the other was called Antojito. Which one is recommended?[/QUOTE]I loved the spicy shrimp tacos from the same cart, they are super yummy! It is a must try after you get done mongering, the perfect way to cap off a good night.
Churrascaria at Gallerias Hippodromo
I went to a birthday party at Churrascaria at Gallerias Hippodromo and it was pretty good. The bill came out to $200 for 9 people, but since it was just 2 of us, we left 1,000 peso toward the bill. Some interesting observations are the circus acts while waiting at stop lights on Cuahatemoc and all of the luxury condos and shopping centers being built in Tijuana. In 5-10 years Tijuana is going to be unrecognizable and probably only the wealthy CA and Mexicans will be residing in the city center. Every block seems to have some kind of development being built on it.
Also another interesting observation happened when we ate at a restaurant in Playas, Vista Bella restaurant and grill. The place had a group of Russian guys and not sure, but was told some Russian groups frequent the Zona. The restaurant was just ok, but the best part is the view of the playa. I wouldn't return unless I wanted a place to eat near the playa.
Some people may be able to provide more insight into Mexican culture. The girl I'm seeing says it is normal for the guy to take care of everything and I said in the USA The women usually help with bills and sometimes take care of the tab. She said that it is the guys responsibility and when she graduates with her engineering degree, then she will probably only be paid 9,000 peso every 15 days which seems shockingly low. Also she seemed upset when I didn't kiss her in front of her aunt and cousins. I didn't want to make it more awkward of a situation as they finally found out that I am almost double her age, but they said I look a decade younger. The funny thing is she said the family thinks it is acceptable with them regarding the age difference as long as she is happy. I learn new things everyday in Mexico.
Also the tacos at Tacos El Franc are the best in my opinion and better than Taconazo, but Taconazo isn't as packed and also cleaner establishment. Also found it odd that this is the second Mexican lady I've been with that is concerned with my caffeine consumption, but they don't mind downing endless amounts of alcohol. I guess we all have to decide on what kind of vices we find acceptable. Have fun!
