First Post: Tacos El Paisa

My Very first Blog about Good and Interesting Places to Eat Food.

I decided to start this blog because there are some interesting and tasty places to eat that are not as well known as the major chain restaurants (I may cover some of them, but only if they are truly unique)

My first Restaurant is Tacos El Paisa on National in San Diego, CA.



The first thing that made this place stand out, was that EVERY table is given this massive tray of tasty condiments. On our tray was Sliced Cucumbers, Radishes, Hot Carrots, a Salsa Verde, 2 Red Salsas, and Avocado Salsa and Limes.



These aren't the only treats brought to you at your table. You also get little cups of pinto beans and a plate of grilled onions and peppers. Here is my boyfirend Eric demonstrating a Grilled Pepper before he ate it!



Their specialty, as the name suggests is tacos. They have great tacos. I highly recommend the Carne Asada and the Chicken.



They also have such delights as Sopes, Gorditas, Quesadillas, Tortas and Burritos. The first time I came here, I had one of the best Bean and Cheese Burritos I have ever eaten in my life. So this time I decided to try something I was assured was a "San Diego Thing" and got a California Burrito. It was filled with Carne Asada, Sour Cream, Cheese, Guacamole, and French Fries. Wait a Minute?! Fries? Yes, Fries. It was a tasty treat that's only shortcoming was that I needed some help to finish eating it.



They have indoor and outdoor seating available, but on a nice day I highly recommend sitting outside!



The reason this place is so good? Not only are the prices reasonable, but the food comes straight to you from a TACO TRUCK! Taco Trucks with all the perks of a restaurant! Now that is AMAZING!



I also highly recommend the Jamaica to drink it is one of the best Jamaicas I have ever consumed.

All in all, this place gets a 5 stars rating on the tasty treat scale!
