I lived in San Diego for 2 years and the one thing I miss the most is the Mexican food, especially fish tacos. My favorite places in San Diego were small taco shops where you paid $3 for a fish taco. No frills no fuss just great food. It’s really hard to find a Mexican place like that in New York City let alone a great fish taco. I think I’ve come pretty close with La Esquina or “The Corner.” When I used to work in Soho, I would go there for lunch and get a horchata and 2 fish tacos. It was my favorite thing to do. The fish isn’t fried but grilled which I actually grew to love. The fish taco is fresh and zesty. It’s not heavy so you don’t feel like a fat blob afterwards. Horchata is a rice milk drink with cinnamon and to me, it tastes like liquid churros. Sometimes, I get 2 horchatas at La Esquina because I think theirs is the best I’ve tasted in New York. My next mission: Find great carne asada fries!
