Taking the Taco Tour in Rosarito

How do you like your tacos?

You will find Tacos El Zurdo across the street from McDonald's on the main boulevard. Maria, one of the customers, explained that the flavor alone makes this the most outstanding taco stand in Rosarito Beach. She added that the spices also add to the flavor. As she interpreted for one of the employees, he yelled out, "Each one is made with special preparation and with love." Maria opened her package showing me the taco she had just purchased for her and her husband. It was a foot long, six inches wide, and six inches tall. It was a monster of a taco unlike any I have ever seen before – certainly unlike any you will find at McDonalds or Jack in the Box in the U.S. Maria said that El Zurdo is the only taco stand she visits in Rosarito Beach.

Finally, the fifth taco stand is Pepe's Asadaderos. Interpreter Jose Espinoza explained that they offer the best tacos in Baja (seems like I heard this before – elsewhere, hmmm…). The place is owned by Jose "Pepe" Luis Cervantes and it is located a few doors south of Waldo's. Jose said that the tacos are the best because they are always served with the freshest meat. Also, he said that fresh salsa is prepared by the employees every day and customers can have everything they want from a large variety of choices. One of the employees then blurted out, "They are the best tacos because the best workers work here."

There are a number of tacos to choose from including tripa and asada. Customer Edie Vines chooses Pepe's "because they offer all sorts of goodies." She also enjoys the fact that the place is lit up at night and offers Mexican music. She describes the tacos in one word:"Delicious!"

Lots of customers means fresh tacos!

Although not everyone might agree with my particular method of choosing the top taco stands, it works for me!

With a steady stream of customers, the food is fresh and always tasty.

I encourage you to visit these stands as well as any others you might choose. Who knows, maybe there is another gem out there just waiting to be discovered!

If there is, let us know…
