My second visit to
El Zarape was another success. What a fantastic little Mexican restaurant! We did seafood tacos - scallop, spiny lobster, and battered fish (probably
pollock or
cod). The food was flavorful, but not overly fishy... although I'd suggest getting sauce on the side. It's heavy, creamy, and tended to mask the flavor of the meat. This spot is incredibly cheap - can't beat 99 cent fish tacos! Ask for chips (they're free) and try out some of the really tasty salsas. Be sure to grab a seat outside and soak up a little San Diego sunshine while you eat. Two thumbs up!
Although summer will not hit for another month or so, there are signs that it is on its way. Granted, it is pretty difficult to distinguish the seasons here in San Diego. But, I saw corn on the cob being sold for the first time at the grocery store this week (5 cobs for $1 at
Henry's Market). Try it on the grill with a little salt, pepper, and olive oil/butter. I'm excited for all that summer will bring, especially taking a break from courses to get out in the field and do a little diving!
