Walk along the Embarcadero & get a freeze on a hot day, stop by Chilanga's (the best booth there) & get my huitlacoche on. Live music, shade, delicious vendors, right across from the water. I did have a little detour from Chilanga's - while I was waiting for my spouse to park, I sat at a shady table with a woman who was telling me about the poke truck (Island Mike's) & explaining that her coworker ran it as a side hustle, and that the poke was delicious because he had lived in Hawaii. I agonized a bit - get my Chilanga's huitlacoche huarache - or try the poke? I eventually decided: it's Mother's Day, you can have ALL the things, just like at a buffet! So I went to Island Mike's first. They advertised Broke Da Mouth poke - and I was a little suspicious at first - cuz Island Mike's didn't look like a Hawaii native but a mainlander who spent some time there. BUT... I got my poke "island style" (furikake, sushi rice, and the poke - not lots of distractions like seaweed salad or ginger like in the "mainland style") - and it really was off the hook. Really fresh & delicious and perfectly made. YUM & YUM. $12 for one scoop (the smaller size) & very worth it. Of course I still needed my Chilanga's so then I got the huitlacoche huarache (a vegetarian taste of heaven - shredded lettuce, huitlacoche, Mexican cheese on a huarache (masa dough) & tried the mango passion fruit agua fresca. The huarache is huge and I'd already had the little poke, so I took most of it home to eat later. But it was just as yummy as I remembered. And the agua fresca is amazing. I'll still crave Chilanga's but now I'll crave Island Mike's too. I need to get down here more often because it is a super fun outing that is too good to waste on tourists!

This was walking distance from Hotel Republic just past the Santa Fe Depot so before we started our…read moretrek back to OC 2 weekends ago, we decided to check out some of the vendors at Lane Field Park Market. There was live music and aa few food stalls. Good Eatz (filipino/hawaiian fusion) caught my eye mainly because they have a few Ube pastries (mochi, ube bar, etc). I first ordered the ube bar which passed the test so I went back to order the mochi. They also offer lumpia, spam musubi and chicken wing combo plates and pork dumplings.

I've been looking for Tacos de Canasta this side of the border with little luck, but I've found the…read morenext best thing with Tacos Al Vapor which are a little lighter, a little more simple. Instead of oils, sauces, plastic lined baskets they are simply steamed. El Rey's tacos are on the smaller side, compared to street tacos, but with less filling, not overloaded, open with sauces. These are simply made and presented. Semi closed little packets of corn torilla and meat opened up and with lettuce, salsa added I generally eat a half dozen as a snack. Again I still prefer the offerings of tacos de canasta like green sauces, moles, chicharrones, potatoes. These are a regional specialty that most people haven't seen or made before so when comparing it to other types these often don't get a fair shake. These are simple, flavorful little bites that taste a little like moist tamales eaten without a fork, not how when you eat it off a plate and a fork. They offer a few different fillings that are standard as well as some seasonal ones. Get their red sauce.

The chicharrón tacos are my fave, very friendly service. Simple, but really flavorful tacos.read more

Just thinking about the melted cheese mixed in with your choice of meat is enough to make your mouth water. If that's not your speed they also have great vegan and vegetarian options! My personal go to is the mulita. If you haven't had the mulita before and even you have had it ; Josuecooks' interpretation of it definitely top tier. From someone that's of Mexican-descent it gives me pride that someone is out here representing Mexican culture like this down to the last detail from ingredients and how you're greeted and served. The service, well, you're treated like family. It becomes more of an experience than a quick bite. Definitely recommend you come check it out.

I came here for their vegan menu. I've had Lady G as a street vendor before and now just felt like I needed good vegan food. Their menu is a bit confusing.. I didn't know what the steamed food was. Was it under the lids of the serving trays? I knew I wanted more than just lumpia and since they had a sign that said "vegan pancit and lumpia" I just ordered it. They make the lumpia fresh. I needed to wait about 10 minutes and I was OK with that. I ordered to go so when I opened up my container in the car, I took a bite out of the lumpia and it was steamy! But I was hungry!! You get three and they are the size of eggrolls. The pancit was a bit salty for me.. but isn't the presentation beautiful??

First and foremost the food is fresh mostly organic and innovative yet comforting. My favorite is the one they finish off with the blow torch. It is absolutely the best sushi I have ever had in my life. When I come to San Diego and make sure that I am there to go to a farmers market where they have their booth. Everyone on the team is professional, warm and welcoming. I wish they were in Santa Barbara so I could get their catering. Thank you so much for creating Vegan Mirai , from the incredible food to the way that you handle your sales and share your thoughts on tipping (no tipping you pay what u can/wish for thr product). your Instagram handle is so good it's informative, inspiring, and authentic

Most of the vendors offer freshly prepared food and others coffee and libations like Négociant the area's wine merchant. It's certainly a great idea not only for the community but also the up and coming vendors to demonstrate what they have to offer, and for well established ones to support the community they thrive in. Everyone was very happy to be there, and for good reason too, because as the evening progressed, so did the crowds and enthusiasm. I ate at several of the food vendors and made my best effort to visit each one to learn what they are offering for future reference. The event is located at the corner of Utah and El Cajon Blvd., on the street and parking lot where The Heart and Trotter Butchery is located at and runs from 6 pm to 10 pm.
