I admittedly haven’t had too many poke bowls in my life….

I just tend to gravitate towards wanting other things 🤷‍♀️

But when in Hawaii, eating poke is essential. And friends…. this bowl from @poke.market might just kick off a poke phase over here at the Frugal Foodies…

The fish was so fresh, and the combination of textures and flavors was just right 🔥🔥🔥

 ❗️the secret is to get off the waterfront❗️ 

Los Claros serves up solid tacos for 30-45 MXN a pop.  
Here are some thoughts:  🔥the fish tacos have a huge piece of perfect fried fish, and the toppings bar is stacked  ❌ the serving of shrimp was very underwhelming… skip these  🔥the jalapeño margarita was absolutely perfect

 I had never heard of it until my cousins gifted me this New York City one, and I can’t even tell you how much joy this brought me each day.  

It had such cool and unexpected mix of items all made in NYC, and it really is the perfect gift for anyone…. Especially that foodie or travel lover in your life ☺️☺️

A Frugal Guide on Where to Get Tacos in Every Port

A Frugal Guide on Where to Get Tacos in Every Port on a Baja Peninsula Cruise🛳️🛳️🛳️

If you’re going on a 7 day cruise around the Baja Peninsula round trip San Diego….. I gotchu ⬇️⬇️⬇️

1️⃣ San Diego:
📌This spot has insane al pastor tacos. The meat has a perfect char, the tortillas freshly made, and they know how to add all the toppings just right
📌While I hear there are some other stellar taco spots in San Diego, they aren’t walkable from the cruise port.

2️⃣La Paz: Claro Fish Jr.
📌Head down and a bit off the Malecon to Claro Fish Jr.
📌The fish tacos have a perfect crunch, and I’ve become obsessed with the coconut shrimp tacos that have an irresistible hint of sweetness.
📌They have a well stocked toppings bar meaning you can dress up the tacos however you like
🤫It’s way cheaper than the spots right off the shuttle drop off point. Plus it feels more local (AKA you won’t be surrounded by cruise ship passengers…)

3️⃣Loreto: Nanys Tacos
📌Head off the main pedestrianized street to this cute mom and pop shop.
📌The menu is small, so you know what they are producing is stellar.
📌Each taco is made to order and served as soon as it’s ready, meaning the fried fish and shrimp tacos were super crunchy. (Quick fryer to mouth time is critical!!!)
🤫You’ll pay triple for worse tacos at the “trendy” spots in Loreto…..

4️⃣Cabo: Tacos El Paisa
📌Cabo is tricky…. And admittedly not my favorite place and I usually stay on the ship to avoid tendering.
📌BUT the one taco spot I’d go back to is Tacos El Paisa.
📌The al pastor tacos have solid flavor and the prices are very reasonable.
