Some must-visit Mexican food carts in San Diego

Because he is very proud of his hometown, Warren Van Dam has come up with a series of blogs that brings the San Diego food scene the attention that it deserves. As a border town, San Diego culture is highly characterized by Mexican food, which can be partaken of through a number of food carts featured in this list.

Phatties

There’s a bit of good news for the food lover who wants bigger portions of whatever catches his appetite. By its unmistakeable name, Phatties serves Mexican tortillas which come stuffed with a variety of fillings. This popular food truck mostly travels around the Escondido and San Marcos area, wherein its customers can also have a quick snack of elotes, or grilled ears of corn that can come topped with mayo and chili powder, shares Warren Van Dam. No matter what you order, don’t forget to wash it down with some smoothies.

Mariscos Nine Seas Seafood

If you love seafoods and Mexican cuisine, you can never go wrong with Mariscos Nine Seas Seafood, which is a foodtruck that’s well-known for serving the best Mexican food at the lowest prices. Here you can have their specialties which include shrimp tacos, ceviche, and tostadas, which are as fresh as they come. If you happen to have a large appetite, go for their “crazy” tostada, which literally piles gobs of seafood on top of crispy-fried tortillas. The good news is that they also serve fish taos that cost no more than $2 each, notes Warren Van Dam.

Zoe’s Place

One of the simplest joys this life has to offer is the pairing of great food with your favorite cocktail or beer. A Mexican food truck, Zoe’s Place, often pairs up with local breweries for their stops. If you want to have your fix of michelada, catch them on a Sunday outside Thorn Street Brewery in Barrio Logan, and enjoy your authentic Mexican tacos, and maybe even come back for more. Zoe’s Place also has breakfast options, like their breakfast burrito with potatoes and bacon, and chilaquiles verdes with scrambled eggs.
