Chula Vista Lemon Festival - Part 2

But wait! There's more!  Ooh, garlic onion rings and garlic fries!

Here's TC's frozen lemonade

Here was another booth selling pupusas. They were giving free samples too. Their pupusas were also cheaper - the first place was selling them for $4 each! That's highway robbery! It was $3, which is cheaper but still kinda pricy for pupusas especially when you can get them for just $2 at El Salvadoreno. But hey, we wanted pupusas today and they there right there!

I ordered three pupusas to share - they were filled with pork, cheese and beans. It was fun watchin the women pinch off the masa dough, stick in the filling and then flatten it onto the griddle...


The pupusas were served with curtido on the side...

Here's another view...

I heardthis place was pretty good, Comal. Check out their sign - "Birria  y Barbacoa"! I think I'll go back for the Barbacoa.

This place used to be an educational supply store. Then it changed to an Italian place, Manga Bene. Now it looks like it's still an Italian place but with a different name.

These looked pretty good by the line was waaaay too long to stand in! It was so hot that day!

More food booths...

Here's a taco place...

Here's a booth that was selling custom made light plate switches....Pretty cool. I want one with Rick James on it. Or better yet, Don Knotts. Or Clarence Rutherford from "Leave it to Beaver".

Not...TC was disappointed because there were none with a horse or horses on them.

Here's a live band playing some classic rock...

If you ever go to the Lemon Festival, it's usually the 2nd weekend of August and it's held in downtown Chula Vista. You can park for free in the parking structure behind Marie Callender's (from F Street) or if you're coming from the other way, near Futtbuckers Fuddruckers. Park your car for free and in the shade and just walk less than a block to the festival.
Here's the Black Crowes with Jimmy Page on guitar (man, he looks so old now!) doing their rendition of Zep's "The Lemon Song":

Squeeze this...
