I mean, the fact that I drove twenty minutes and went to an outlet mall solely for food still stuns me. The pastor burrito was enormous. Unfortunately, it was very mushy and 80% filler. The tortilla was nicely toasted but that was the only positive. The chips that came with the burrito were not completely stale but they were more stale than fresh. Come on, now. You cannot serve stale chips. I loved the chipotle salsa. Make sure you get some of that. The kiosk gal was very pleasant. I wish I had a different and better experience but it just wasn't the best.

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.

Found this gem of a taco spot that is just as good as the best I've had anywhere I've had in Southern California. They're usually open late, the portions are pretty darn large, and the prices are more than reasonable. They have a great assortment of toppings and salsas and make their tortillas fresh. This place pretty much checks all the important boxes for me personally when it comes to taco spots I love. I came here late at night and the line wasn't too crazy. Not as lively as more popular spots I've been to, but there were a few people in line. You do get the vibe that this spot is a favorite among locals. I ordered a vampiro (crunchier tortilla with a layer of caramelized cheese that holds the meat and toppings) with asada and two al pastor tacos. Usually, I can eat that easily, but with the portions here, it was a bit of a chore. The smoky flavors and fresh toppings and salsa were all on point. The horchata I got to wash everything down was also very good. A true gem of a spot in the Inland Empire.

We got an asada torta $12, tacos with tripa, asada, pastor $3 each and we ordered chorizo but they were all out until later due to cooking time. We got one burrito with pastor $12 and one auga cucumber and lime $5. They serve potato rellenos, quesadillas, vampiros I wanted to try everything but I can't eat it all. It was $70 total they have a variety of salsas, cucumbers, radishes that you can serve yourself. They also sell all the auga varieties as well.

This place was such a happy find for someone trying to stay on the healthier side (well, on the…read morebalanced side at least) while roaming the fair. As all fair food is, it was pretty pricy but you're to expect that here. Serving size wasn't anything crazy but it was definitely enough to satisfy hunger and have room for other fair treats if that's your thing. Flavor was decent, but the best thing about this place was for sure how fresh it tasted. Every ingredient was high quality and clean. It was definitely a nice alternative to everything else around. Staff was friendly too. I can for sure see myself coming here every time I visit the fair in the future

Burritos - pinto beans, shredded lettuce, un-melted cheese, and fresh grilled carne asada or fried fish.. This is still better than most fair food, but a sad interpretation of a San Diego taco shop burrito. Tacos might be the better option. - Never a fan of shredded lettuce put inside a burrito. - You'll smell their grilled carne asada all the way down food stand row. Just look for smoke..

They were very generous on the meat! Flavorful and assembled to perfection by friendly cooks! All the fixings were available on the side: radish, cucumbers, lime, onions, cilantro. At $12 per burrito (poster sign says $10 so I'm assuming $2 extra for asada. No, I didn't ask. I was hungry), reasonable price and well worth it! The burritos were huge! They post their location, date and time on their Instagram. Not sure how else they take payments but we used Zelle. Well lit canopies and their set-up was along a street that has a little bit of traffic flow but not like a main street. 10/10 - I'm definitely coming back!

So when the opportunity presented itself we headed that way to check it out. Parking is usually tricky near the Oside coast, but we got lucky with a street spot very nearby. The shop was pretty busy, but we got seats on the bar. We came in within happy hour time and were able to get $2 off our brews. For the pie, we got the recommended Dude Ranch with bacon on one half. I'm not usually one that likes ranch dressing on my food, but this was definitely a winner. Everything balanced really well in the flavor combination of bacon, chicken, BBQ, and a drizzle of ranch. We ended up taking some of their chocolate chip cookies to go for a nice treat later. Overall we we're very pleased with our visit and can't wait to try some of thier other specialties.
