From the original post

The photo note

Coming from a city with the best #Mexican food on the planet (seriously not being bias), we decided to give it a try here in #Cambodia! #siemreap #tacos #burrito #foodography #foodspotting #goodeats

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 burrito smothered in salsa with tortilla chips, a crunchy taco salad plate with a red salsa, an Anchor beer, a frozen strawberry margarita and a frame of the table.

The caption is pure San Diego pride: the best Mexican food on the planet, seriously not biased. The post does not deliver a verdict on the Cambodian version — which, given that setup, may be its own kind of review.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • A salsa-covered burrito
  • A frozen margarita
  • San Diego pride in the caption

Bottom line

Archive verdict

A fun cross-cultural experiment — and a reminder of the standard San Diegans carry everywhere.
