foods to eat in san diego is the fish or scallop sandwich here at point loma seafoods you can also go to mitch's seafood and try out their sandwich as well but the reason why i like going to point loma seafoods is because it's just native san diegan's favorite seafood spot and they make fresh sourdough every day and their sourdough is really popular here just love the tartar sauce and it's really really fresh so let's go inside either try out the fish sandwich or the scallop sandwich [Music] ordering here at point loma seafoods is simple you just go up to the counter order what you want pay for it and then wait for your number to be called simplicity they give it to you in this brown paper bag and uh yeah i ended up getting the scallop sandwich now they're really known for their sourdough bread so they sell their loaves of sourdough bread their day old sourdough bread over here as well that's how popular it is i usually get the fish sandwich but i've done that before in my point loma video which i'll link in the description box so today we're going to try out the scallop sandwich any sandwich here you can't go wrong they got this famous sourdough with their tartar sauce and their tartar sauce i'm telling you is on point this is the tartar sauce right here and i always pick up a bottle of mexi pep because i can't find it anywhere else i think they might have it at like a stater brothers but i picked this up every time i come over to point loma seafood so let's dig in to the scallop sandwich look at this sandwich right here oh it's amazing all right jk so they already do put tartar sauce on here but i love the extra tartar sauce so you can ask for a couple of them when you grab your sandwich it's kind of hard to get out so good thing i got this plastic knife here let's plaster it on this tartar sauce is amazing believe me also you can't go without the lemon so i'm gonna squeeze the lemon here [Music] so this is a lot so i'm gonna cut it in half we're going to go with the scallop sandwich they do provide you with mexi pep so i'm not going to waste my mexi pep that i bought from the store so bam my favorite next step ooh pour it in the scallop it's already dripping on me let's try it out wow you'd think that that scallop would be chewy but it just melts in your mouth amazing wow i love this mexican guys can't go wrong with it the sourdough is on point here love the tartar sauce wow that is some fresh seafood that is simplicity at its finest the best in san diego point loma seafood wow that is amazing guys we've got to try this out and you best believe this place has the freshest seafood from the pacific ocean with the docks being right here and all the boats spin right next to where you live so even though i'm showing you guys one place for each of the foods that we're going to try here there's other places like mitch's seafood that you can try the fish sandwich and other amazing fresh seafood so if you want an alternative to pokemon seafood head over here to mitch's so the best place to get carne asada in my opinion because of the taste and the flavor and the fries as well is here at mike's taco club now this made number one in my california burrito list but i wanted to highlight the carne asada that they have here so i'm gonna get the carne asada fries and we're gonna try it out somewhere else because it's on and popping back here and i don't think i'll be able to get a decent food review back here [Music] so mike's taco club as usual is on and poppin so i got the bag let's go over to the beach and try it out over there unfortunately jaycationers after i picked up the carne asada fries from mike's taco club i went over to utc beautiful area for me to try out the carne asada fries and show you guys just how good it is it turns out my new camera my zve 10 was set on slow motion mode and i recorded that whole segment in slow motion so you're just going to have me here at a park talking about the carne asada fries over at mike's taco club and all over san diego you can find carne asada fries at all the great mexican joints around here the reason why i chose mike's taco club was because of their amazing thick french fries that are seasoned and their carne asada marinade is amazing you love it i gotta love it i mean that was my number one for california burritos now i also had a carne asada burrito just recently at el cotihan which is my go-to place because it's near my my house i just love carne asada fries and if you're in san diego you're not going to get carne asada anywhere else in the world other than mexico and san diego the quality that they have here in san diego is the best and mike's taco club definitely does it best no doubt you can see me enjoying these carnes are fries
