You ask any Northern Californian and they’ll tell you. The Mexican food is better up here. I’m sure someone somewhere has a theory as to why that is, but it beats the heck out of me.
You can always find some local woman selling tamales in the grocery store parking lot, or choose between the five excellent taquerias in town, but my latest favorite discovery is the freshly made empanadas at the farmer’s market.
It is so much fun to walk in the sunshine munching on this pastry full of spicy meaty goodness.

So, we did get a Bull Taco (their original location is in Encinitas/Cardiff) in Oceanside – "South O" around Cassidy on PCH. It is really good. I know there is a big debate about nor-cal so-cal mexican and burritos and such :o) But Bull Taco is goooood.
I've been doing the Year of Pleasures since the beginning of the year, but am a few weeks behind (funny how having a newborn can throw a wrench into plans). Love the idea of the linky. Also, now I'd kill for an empanada. mmmmm
