| If you ask anybody that loves Mexican Food, they'll | | | | sold at the grocery store? Same goes for El Torito |
| tell you, without any doubt, their favorite place for | | | | salsa. I think some of these salsas from taco shops |
| salsa. I know I have my favorite spots. Some like | | | | would do quite well in grocery stores. |
| fancy restaurants and others like taco shops. I prefer | | | | However, we should make a distinction between |
| taco shops. Here, in San Diego, you can find hundreds | | | | salsa and hot sauce. I tend to like hot sauce more |
| of Mexican Restaurants (if not thousands) and they | | | | than I like salsa. You can't really eat salsa with a taco |
| all have different tasting salsa. The shady taco shops | | | | or with a burrito. It's too chunky and not hot enough |
| have this orange type salsa that is delicious. These | | | | for my liking. Hot sauce is definitely lighter and tangier |
| taco shops with the orange type salsa tend to end in | | | | and definitely hotter. There are stores that specialize |
| "to's"...like "Roberto's", "Alberto's" and there is even a | | | | in hot sauces. There is the "Tears of Joy" hot sauce |
| "Albertacos", which seems to be a combination of | | | | store and The Sweat Shop, which both can be found |
| "Alberto" and "Tacos" and their food is out of this | | | | online and many others on the web. Since San Diego |
| world including their salsa. | | | | is so close to Mexico, I've heard of people driving |
| You can find Albertacos in Orange County and San | | | | down to Tijuana and eating at the taco carts on the |
| Diego. The one characteristic that is true about any | | | | street. I've never done this, but i've heard they are |
| good taco shop is that it will be busy (and I mean a | | | | really good and cheap. There is a place in San Diego |
| 20 minute wait in a long line) around 2am (when the | | | | (National City) where they specialize in pork stomach |
| bars and clubs let out). If you go to a taco shop and | | | | tacos. I can't remember the name now, but if you |
| there isn't a line, keep on driving. A favorite late night | | | | know it, please email me. |
| spot in San Diego is El Cotixan...called Coti's for short. | | | | I'd probably have to have extra hot hot sauce with |
| If you go there, get the California Burrito (a carne | | | | my pork stomach taco, but i've heard they are really |
| asada burrito with either potato chunks or french | | | | good. I've heard Mexican food on the east coast of |
| fries) and the Nachos. Isn't this story about salsa? So, | | | | the United States is not very good. I wonder if it's |
| back to salsa, the restaurants tend to have chunkier | | | | good, but different or just not good at all. I know |
| salsa with big chunks of tomatoes and onions. | | | | that Mexican food varies from region to region within |
| Probably healthier and definitely very tasty. | | | | the United States, but I haven't tried Mexican food |
| Everybody has tried taco bell salsa and I guess | | | | outside of California. Please write me and let me |
| people like it. Have you seen Taco Bell hot sauce at | | | | know what's good in your neighborhood. Regardless |
| the grocery store? Isn't that strange? Is Taco Bell | | | | of where you are from, hot sauce and salsa are |
| hot sauce really so good that it should be bottled and | | | | probably one of your favorite condiments. |
