I have been eating well while on this vacation. I love the fresh foods I've had offered to me while in SoCal. In fact, I commented to my husband, I haven't even seen a McDonalds. I did see a Wendy's, but it didn't have a drive-through or parking. I really wanted to get a burger at an In-N-Out Burger, but I didn't come across one. What I did eat was avocados. I ate avocados on fish tacos. I ate avocados on omelettes. I ate avocados on sushi. I ate avocados on carnitas. I bought avocados at the grocery and made guacamole in my hotel room. I love avocados... and they are SO affordable here.
I'd love to share some of the food I ate with you. It was DELICIOUS!
In La Jolla (this is pronounced La Hoya. why?) we went to Sushi on the Rock. I recommend this place. Great sushi and perfect location. Even if you aren't "old money" you can eat in La Jolla. It's not cheap, but it is yummy.
The Don: Grilled shrimp, asparagus, crab, AVOCADO, layered with seared tuna and served with ponzu sauce (sorry about the spot on my lens)
Barrio Roll: Tuna, cilantro and serrano chilies served with fresh salsa and AVOCADO
After dinner, enjoy this sunset
In Old Town San Diego we went to the Old Town Mexican Cafe. You must order the carnitas. They are the best.
Yeah, those chips are warm
These are the delicious carintas. The AVOCADO, cilantro, tomato and onion were on another plate
Flan ('nuff said)
I want to share the images of the talented women making these delicious tortillas, fresh, every day.
I'm near tears...all these posts reminding me of home. Loved your sunset photo! How about a great Cali restaurant...Jack-in-the-Box! LOL!! Special to me only because my uncle took me there. Roys in La Jolla is good too.
NOM! I love avocados, too. Oh yum. I do not care for sushi because of the raw fish thing, but I think it is beautiful on a plate. All my friends love it, so I have California Roll when I'm with them at a sushi place. :)
The food you've been eating sounds wonderful. I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip. This is my first visit to your blog but I plan to return. Have a great weekend. Blessings...Mary
Avocados are my favorite! I like to cut them open and then just add hot sauce and lemon and eat them just like that! the most delicious thing! And they are good for you, too!
OK so now I'm totally hungry! It seems like you are having a great time. I have family that lives around LA, and they got me hooked on avocados. Love them, but they can get expensive here in Texas. And In N Out? When we were there, we got so addicted to it, the Other Nut drove 30 minutes one way from our hotel room just to get it. Glad you are enjoying your time there.
Gosh they look so yummy! That is such a great video of how the tortillas are made! Yummy :) All the food looks so good. We are getting ready to travel around Australia. Where we are staying at the moment doesnt have any great places for food, so looking forward to finding top places to eat while we are on the road:) Cheers Lisa
You are making me hungry. Wow--great looking food. I love sushi. We have some decent restaurants in Charleston and some good sushi. Glad that you enjoyed your visit.
Oh man! I almost had to shut this post because the food made me soooo jealous! I really really miss having access to good food. I hope that you are keeping it up back at home!
