Nachos with cheese sauce?

Which taco shops have the best nachos with cheese sauce? Don't need all the fixings on top, just some delicious sauce and some pickled jalapenos! I live in North Park, but willing to drive.

Best Aguachile / ceviche

Hello

I'm hoping to find a restaurant in the SD county area that does a really good Aguachile / ceviche / fresh Mariscos, mexican style. I don't care about what region in Mexico it's from. Preferably the restaurant would be:

  • Authentically mexican

  • Informal and casual

  • Have alcoholic drinks

  • They are promote the fact that they source their food from local fisherman in the San Diego area

If you have any recommendations I'd love to hear what everyone thinks!

Mexican Cantina

Hello!

I'd love to go to an authentic, primarily spanish-speaking Mexican Cantina somewhere in the San Diego area. The criteria are:

  • NOT in Gaslamp
  • NOT in Old town
  • South of Highway 8
  • Spanish-speaking
  • Live music, food, and alcohol

If you know a place, I'd love to go drink a modelo and listen to some corridos en vivo.

Thanks!

Milk tea bottles

Hi! Anyone know of boba shops that sell milk tea jugs? Supposed to bring bulk milk tea to my wedding next week, to serve 25-35 people. Just basic flavors like Thai tea and such. The closer to La Jolla the better. Thanks!

Mole markets

Recently moved to San Diego, looking for a place that would have a lot of mole options to buy (that I could potentially taste test as well). I went to a market in Mexico City and fell in love with this peanut butter mole. Looking to find something similar that I could cook at home with.

Seemingly unpopular opinion: I actually really like Din Tai Fung & Breakfast Republic

A little overpriced? Sure. But I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my meals there. I go to Din Tai Fung all the time lol.

Bonus statement: The Taco Stand is not good.

What restaurant am I thinking of?

Ok, this requires you to read my mind. My wife and I like fun places to go and on a recent trip to San Diego we really enjoyed going to Sam the Cooking Guy's Not Not Tacos etc.

We are not foodies, we are not fancy, we're not impressed by chef names per se (we just like Sam).

Anyway, we were at the M Winehouse at Fir and India in Little Italy and mentioned that place to a friend some years ago who said "OMG you were so close to _____! If you like Sam you'd like this place!"
But I can't remember who/what it was.

It's likely not super fancy, it's likely not some big name like Nobu. It would be something quirky or YouTube related or something along those lines. Any thoughts?

(edited to change First to Fir)

Best Salsa for purchase

Hey Everyone,

I signed up to bring salsa to a fish fry and don’t want to disappoint.

Any recommendations as to the best place to buy salsa? Was thinking maybe some carnicerias sell some homemade-like salsa.

El pollo grill experts

What are you guys ordering at this place? I’ve gone here at the lemon Grove location like twice, and I must be doing something wrong because I find the food taste similar to El Pollo Loco.
