Anna and I were down near the border for some shopping and had a hankering for tacos. I used yelp on my phone to see what looked interesting near by. Surrounded by mall land I wasn’t optimistic. One taco shop with only three reviews sounded pretty good – Tacos Yaqui (111 W Olive Dr, San Ysidro, CA 92173). They are trying to emulate the places in Baja, and they do a pretty good job of it. These are bigger than street tacos, and a combo is very filling. Anna and I had the Tacos Perrones (carne asada) and Tacos Norteños (spicy shrimp). Both were excellent – some of the best tacos I’ve had in a while. If you are near the border but not crossing it, definitely look them up.
Yelp is the iPhone app I miss the most in Europe. If there is a European equivalent I haven’t found it. :(
