Jillibertos, one near the Big 5 in Escondido and the other in Pala 
Valley.  After their Carne Asada all others are just a pale 
imitation.  Three rolled Tacos with Guacamole and cheese and a Carne Asada 
Taco with a large Pepsi is around $4 wit all the fresh salsa and pickled 
carrots one could want.  One of the places I always have to stop and with 
good fortune one is on the road I take to get to my storage.

Then there is a place in San Marcos.  All the sign says is Mexican 
Seafood.  They make the best fish tacos.  A plate of two with chips and 
salsa and a drink is less than $5.  I go there every chance I get but it 
has been a while.  I guess I need an excuse to make a trip to Frys.

Then in Escondido there are two really good sit down places, Estrada's and 
El Galleon.  Estrada's is Tex Mex, very different that the usual Baja Style 
we get but one of my favorites.  El Galleon is a seafood place with 
Mazatlan style.  Everything I have had there is good.

Then there is that Vietnamese place in Kearny Mesa that serves a good Curry 
Chicken on Mondays and Wednesdays but you have to be there before noon 
because they run out.  I was taken to that place by a co worker who was one 
of the first boat people allowed into the US.
