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.

The local Thai restaurant was started by a red-headed American of
Irish descent and the Thai husband she acquired during a stint in the
Peace Corps. They eventually sold the place to some of his relatives
and moved. The food is very, very good. The restaurant's other claim
to fame is the home made pies that her mother made.

I know even better Thai food exists because we have a friend who used
to travel to the area about once a month and bring food that his Thai
wife (who also worked in a restaurant) made. Wow!  As Bill says, if
you want truly authentic food, make it yourself.

Our Indian restaurant is really good too, but they have to be because
Springfield has a huge Indian population. In fact, the clientel are
largely Indian. My mother loves the place; she's become more
vegetarian as she ages (she's 88), and finds all those tasty beans
irrestible. We have several Indian groceries, though the largest Asian
supermarket was flattened by last year's huge tornado and never <sob>
rebuilt.
