On St. Patrick's Day, I met up with Bert for lunch. We had just gone to our daughter's school to watch her class perform a play, "Pandora's Box". She portrayed one of the "Miseries", which was "Pain". Nice. Actually, the kids did a great job. So, before going back to work, we went to Rubio's. We saw this sign advertising their new salmon offerings:
Over the years, Rubio's has spiffed up its look. Back in college, I used to go to the Rubio's near SDSU. The older location in Chula Vista (on Broadway near H) closed and relocated a few years ago across the street to the Chula Vista mall.
View from our table - we sat by the corrugated tin wall.
The salsa bar - mild, tomatillo, roasted chipotle and the picante. There are also sliced limes, lemons, and pickled jalapenos with carrots.
Bert got the grilled salmon burrito with chips:
I got a couple of fish tacos - for those of you not from San Diego, Rubio's Fish Taco is one of San Diego's signature fast food places. The San Felipe inspired fish taco is a lightly breaded portion of fish served with shredded cabbage and a white sauce. Pretty good. The portion is a bit bigger here than at Fin's (a Rubio's offshoot). This is a crappy photo by the way. We used a different camera and it kind of sucks or at least the settings I used weren't right.
Cross section of that grilled salmon with lime and roasted corn and cabbage. There was also guacamole in there - nice and creamy. The roasted corn was a nice touch as well as the citrus flavoring. The chips were blah though.
I like making ghetto lemonade. I usually order just water then put in lemon and/or lime slices and put in sugar packets (or Splenda). Until next time!
