I lived in San Diego 38 years.  The locals often say "don't trust anyone that doesn't like Mexican food".  There's some truth to that statement.  Good Mexican really is irresistible.

I like nearly every Mexican dish.  But my favorite is fish tacos.  Baja style (beer-battered) or Sonoran grilled.  Both are excellent.  And in the case of grilled fish, quite healthy.  Add black beans and rice for sides.  Bahia Don Bravo in La Jolla and Brigantine Del Mar are top spots.

San Diego has some of the best Mexican food outside of Mexico.
In Florida you get a lot of Cuban and Puerto Rican.
Cafe con leche is to die for Ithinkthe Cubansuse ctack in it. It caused me to gain 10 lbs or half a stone. I hope my understanding is correct.

It's harder to love and create than hate and destroy. Love and creation takes more energy. Where hate and destruction can be done with a single word that can haunt you for a life time.

San Diego is very close to Mexico.  I wish their beaches were less polluted, a lot because of waste down a river coming from Mexico.
Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Coronado Beach is nice. 

The zoo is nice.

The Tijuana River estuary, nearby Imperial Beach, and Coronado are all unsafe to swim in.  Even the beach sand isn't safe in IB.  Further north, it's better.  Plenty of surfers and beach goers in the beach communities north of downtown SD.

I think she meant 'sea horses'.  Coronado Beach is lovely.  But the water is off-limits because of contamination.  The zoo is always a worthwhile visit.  One of the best in the world.

La Jolla is a nice area of San Diego. 

Pricey.

There is something called "walking tacos."  Ever had one?

I heard they are served in bags from which you eat from.

I like the Walking Tacos.

They open a bag of Doritos chips, add taco meat, then you add your toppings (lettuce, tomato, etc.) and eat it out of the bag. They're yummy!

See Lori's response above to see if walking tacos may be the same as street tacos.

Why are tacos served in a restaurant sometimes served with limes on the side and other times served with radishes on the side?

Street tacos are usually served on a corn tortilla shell, not out of a bag. But they cost more.

If you are ever in Rapid City, SD, watch for a red truck for Malissa's Frybread near the parks. A Native American who makes excellent Indian Tacos. Instead of a tortilla shell, she makes them with Indian flatbread. They are so good! People from all over track her on FB to see where she will be set up next so they can get some.

A Pablano Steak rolled-up Quesadilla from Taco Bell was actually pretty good.  I do not know if it is on the current menu as they change things up frequently, much like Applebee's seems to do.  I go one earlier this year.  I do not go to fast food very often.
