On Saturday evening we celebrated my friend Kris’ birthday by going out for Mexican. This was great for me because one of my favorite meals of all time is fish tacos. With beer and a lime. Pacifico to be precise. Of course I stuck to non-alcoholic lime coolers and since Kris is pregnant too, the wildest thing about our night was the spicy guacamole.

We hit up our local favorite, Taqueria Poblano. It’s one of the few restaurants in the area for which I have the menu memorized. Not only do they have great fish and shrimp tacos, but they serve Cholula hot sauce — which I could literally guzzle. Usually, between Grey and I we drain every last drop of the table’s bottle and then the hostess always asks us if we want to try to the “house hot sauce” which I swear is laced with some sort of hallucinogenic.  Last time I had some I thought there were garden gnomes swimming in my margarita.  Not that I’m complaining…

I also love the wait staff uniform: mullets and acid washed jeans. Don’t get me wrong, that doesn’t remind me of San Diego, but it does always give me a pang of homesickness for my native Pennsylvania. Ahhhh…home sweet home.

The only thing better than a good fish taco may be Grey's expression in this picture.  Hombre tonto.
