Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

A strawberry and a lime margarita next to a beer, then fish and calamari tacos piled with cabbage and pico de gallo, a tostada with a small Mexican flag stuck in it, and chips with dip.

Taco Tuesday is a San Diego institution, and this is the full version: seafood tacos, frozen drinks and a table that looks like it is ready for a second round.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • Fish and calamari tacos
  • Strawberry and lime margaritas
  • A proper Taco Tuesday table

Bottom line

Archive verdict

A textbook San Diego Taco Tuesday — seafood tacos, margaritas and no reason to hurry.
