Walk along the Embarcadero & get a freeze on a hot day, stop by Chilanga's (the best booth there) & get my huitlacoche on. Live music, shade, delicious vendors, right across from the water. I did have a little detour from Chilanga's - while I was waiting for my spouse to park, I sat at a shady table with a woman who was telling me about the poke truck (Island Mike's) & explaining that her coworker ran it as a side hustle, and that the poke was delicious because he had lived in Hawaii. I agonized a bit - get my Chilanga's huitlacoche huarache - or try the poke? I eventually decided: it's Mother's Day, you can have ALL the things, just like at a buffet! So I went to Island Mike's first. They advertised Broke Da Mouth poke - and I was a little suspicious at first - cuz Island Mike's didn't look like a Hawaii native but a mainlander who spent some time there. BUT... I got my poke "island style" (furikake, sushi rice, and the poke - not lots of distractions like seaweed salad or ginger like in the "mainland style") - and it really was off the hook. Really fresh & delicious and perfectly made. YUM & YUM. $12 for one scoop (the smaller size) & very worth it. Of course I still needed my Chilanga's so then I got the huitlacoche huarache (a vegetarian taste of heaven - shredded lettuce, huitlacoche, Mexican cheese on a huarache (masa dough) & tried the mango passion fruit agua fresca. The huarache is huge and I'd already had the little poke, so I took most of it home to eat later. But it was just as yummy as I remembered. And the agua fresca is amazing. I'll still crave Chilanga's but now I'll crave Island Mike's too. I need to get down here more often because it is a super fun outing that is too good to waste on tourists!

There was live music and aa few food stalls. Good Eatz (filipino/hawaiian fusion) caught my eye mainly because they have a few Ube pastries (mochi, ube bar, etc). I first ordered the ube bar which passed the test so I went back to order the mochi. They also offer lumpia, spam musubi and chicken wing combo plates and pork dumplings.

Jesus Christ. The carne asada had no business being that tender. The tortilla was warm, soft, slightly charred, and holding everything together like it knew exactly what the fuck it was doing. Then the guac hit. Then the salsa. Suddenly I'm hunched over the table making noises that should've gotten me asked to leave. And the fries? Filthy. Disgusting. Obscene. I'd do things for those fries that would permanently alter my relationship with my family. By the end I had sauce on my hands, my face, probably my clothes. Zero dignity. Absolutely ravaged. I sat there staring at the empty wrapper like a sailor watching his wife disappear over the horizon. Five stars. No notes. I need a cigarette.

The tacos are wonderfully battered without it being overwhelmingly breaded. The cabbages and tomatoes on top were very refreshing, but for a nice kick, they have a small salsa bar with grilled chili peppers available and those were delicious! They also offer free seafood consume, which taste great on the fish taco, as a tortilla chip dip, or just on its own to sip on (although a bit on the salty side). There was a canopy set up with too long tables to provide some shade while eating. They also have napkins and hand sanitizer available. Overall, a great spot for some fish tacos!

We came out for Taco Tuesday today for their fish taco special. It was pretty busy so we waited…read moreabout 15 minutes for our fresh battered fish on corn tortilla tacos. We were given a complimentary cup of tomato seafood broth to enJoy while we were waiting. Tasty! Service was fine. We took the tacos to go and they were indeed fresh, hot, and lightly battered. The fish was very flaky and enjoyable to eat. Each taco had chopped onion, cilantro & cabbage on it as well as white sauce. The tacos are fairly large, and honestly two tacos were fine for me, so M. enjoyed four tacos and was happy about that. They have a selection of sauces that are labeled. They were out of the habanero, but the green jalapeño one was tasty with just a bit of heat. If you are in the mission valley area, this is a good taco Tuesday deal. This is a food truck, so there are limited amenities. They do have a couple of tables under a canopy where you can stand and eat if you wish, otherwise, you can take your food to go. Kiko's is also known for their delicious ceviches as well as other taco options, so give them a try. Prices are reasonable! Gracias!

Go down to Lane Field, walk along the Embarcadero, get Chilanga's for lunch. It's so delicious! I had only got the watermelon agua fresca before because it's so good - but I asked for a taste of the mango-passion fruit and it was amazing. Not goopy, syrupy, but fresh taste of both of them. YUM. Also got my fave, the huitlacoche huarache. Really fresh & yummy, with all the earthiness of the huitlacoche (corn fungus). They normally make it vegan but they gave me cotija cheese on top. I really love this dish! I ended up getting something else when I was at the market too but I'm so glad I still came to Chilanga as planned. And the women here are so nice!

Nothing beats that savory dough flavor, crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside, with an exaggerated amount of cinnamon-sugar coating! My daughter ordered her usual- the mangoneada!

Instead of oils, sauces, plastic lined baskets they are simply steamed. El Rey's tacos are on the smaller side, compared to street tacos, but with less filling, not overloaded, open with sauces. These are simply made and presented. Semi closed little packets of corn torilla and meat opened up and with lettuce, salsa added I generally eat a half dozen as a snack. Again I still prefer the offerings of tacos de canasta like green sauces, moles, chicharrones, potatoes. These are a regional specialty that most people haven't seen or made before so when comparing it to other types these often don't get a fair shake. These are simple, flavorful little bites that taste a little like moist tamales eaten without a fork, not how when you eat it off a plate and a fork. They offer a few different fillings that are standard as well as some seasonal ones. Get their red sauce.
