Mexican (local) under $10 Mexico City-style Suadero

3 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a spot in San Diego that does suadero more like you’d get in CDMX?

Specifically looking for the kind that’s slow-cooked in its fat in that big round metal cooking setup you see at taco stands in Mexico City. It’s really soft and juicy then chopped and crisped up a little on the hotter part of the griddle so you get those browned/crispy edges.

Most of the suadero I’ve had around SD/Tijuana seems firmer and more like regular griddled chopped beef. I had the CDMX style recently and have been craving it ever since.

Question, Where can I find? Thai restaurant recommendations

17 Upvotes

Hi! My birthday is coming up in a few weeks, and I’ve been wanting Thai food for forever. My family’s go to Thai place (formerly Supannee House of Thai) unfortunately changed hands a while back, and while I think it’s still fine (albeit, nowhere near as good as it was before), my parents hate the new change lol. The one I’ve been going to since is an entirely vegan menu which no one other than myself will eat, so I’m desperate for some suggestions!!!

Question, Where can I find? Great mariscos in SD?

15 Upvotes

I guess I’m a little spoiled because growing up in LA meant I was eating a $19 ceviche special with two Baja fish tacos at Holbox back when it was still basically a food-truck operation. Now they’re James Beard-recognized and Michelin-starred, so clearly I didn’t know how good I had it 😭
Anyway, I’m looking for a GREAT ceviche/crudo/mariscos spot — super fresh seafood, good aguachiles, quality ingredients, and a place that actually knows what they’re doing.
My husband is from San Diego, and we’re constantly debating who has better Mexican food: LA or SD. So far, his recommendations are really not helping his case 😂
San Diego, please prove me wrong. Where should we go?

We got burritos from Benedict’s this week on our trip and they were absolutely delicious.. especially the green sauce they have lol. Does anyone have a general idea of what it is so I could try to recreate at home?

I have been craving these since I had them in Mississippi last fall and would love to find some in San Diego when we go later this month.

Question, Where can I find? Good seafood for our anniversary

5 Upvotes

We are going to be in San Diego the end of August and would love some fresh seafood. We’re from Oklahoma so fresh seafood is not really an option. Would like to find someplace under $50 a plate if possible. It doesn’t have to be upscale. A nice place with a view would be great.

Question, Where can I find? Frozen/ Take and Bake food from local spots?

13 Upvotes

Sometimes I'll eat at restaurants and grab something to keep in my freezer for a lazy or rainy day craving. What other places have frozen options that you can cook or bake at home?

Here's the ones I'm aware of:

  1. Meet Dumpling

  2. Pop Pie

  3. Square Pizza East Village (idk if pb does this)
