CA_Cruzing Posted August 11, 2019 #26 Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) Rubio’s is the quintessential Baja taco. Fried fish, fresh cabbage, spicy red salsa and white sauce. Over the years Rubio’s have moved back to their original flavor and style and produce a good product. It’s fast, filling, fresh and easy to enjoy. California pizza can is often unique with many fresh toppings and made in a wood fired oven. IMO its a massive improvement over traditional cheese and sauce pizza. We’re fans of artichokes, feta, olives, spinach, red onions and sun dried tomatoes with high quality olive oil drizzled on top. Mexican food varies so much, I’d try and experience as much of it as you can, including Ensenada. And if you like seafood, Mexican seafood dishes are also great. There’s a large Asian population in LB too (Filipino, Cambodian and Vietnamese). I have a few clients in LB and there’re some great Pho shops near the port area.

There is one in the downtown Long Beach area. My priority is In-N-Out Burger. I'm even spending money to get there from the Queen Mary. But I'll consider SuperMex in addition: I hope it has authentic tacos, like beef tongue or chorizo.

They have lengua, cabeza, buche, plus all the expected fillings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm planning to, and I know what those are. Edited August 12, 2019 by LandlockedCruiser01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know about animal style, but a whole onion slice is probably much nicer than chopped. I'm getting that for sure. And order your fries extra well done!

Light well is an option too. @LandlockedCruiser01, you might as well just go 4x4 and add raw onions, grilled onions, extra pickles, extra spread, chopped chilis. Good luck on this one. You'll be full for two days when done. http://hackthemenu.com/in-n-out/secret-menu/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of years ago I was with some friends at an In-N-Out and ordered my fries, as usual, extra well done. They put all the fry orders on one tray and one of my friends grabbed my fry boat by mistake. He started chowing down and commented that the fries were extra good that day. As I grabbed them back from him I replied "that's 'cause they're mine!" Needless to say he has order well done fries every time since! Oh, and don't forget to ask for some sides of spread. Great for dipping your fries. Edited August 13, 2019 by katstoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandlockedCruiser01 Posted August 14, 2019 #33 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) @CA_Cruzing: I think a 4x4 will be too much for me. I'm putting in a lot of effort into losing weight before I cruise, and I don't want to gain it all back before I even get on the ship. (On my previous cruises, I didn't gain a pound, because I was active almost the whole time I was awake.) I'll most likely get a double-double animal style, with extra vegetable toppings. And of course, well-done fries; I read elsewhere that regular fries are too mushy. Now, if only In-N-Out served IPA craft beers; a man can fantasize. @katstoy: I might get a side of spread too. It might be too much spread in one sitting, though, with my burger being animal style and all.
