Las Obsession


Good morning from the west coast!

I thought I'd share my current favorite meal. As I said before, I still eat fish (Nichole doesn't). So I am always in search of really fresh, well prepared fish meals. And let me tell you, my quest has led me to some pretty terrifyingly (deep-fried) disgustingness that I suppose was fish at sometime in its life. This is especially true when it comes to fish in Mexican food.

And then, a miracle.

A few years ago on a trip to California, a friend took me to Las Olas, a Mexican restaurant in the North County San Diego area. I fell in love with the margaritas (their cadillac is to die for), and their warm corn tortillas. A couple of weeks after I moved out here, I started going back. And I was brave. I ordered the char-broiled fish taco platter. And I never looked back. I have had this meal at least once a week since.



Included in the meal:
  • Charbroiled fish with carmelized onions
  • 3 lime wedges
  • Your choice of two of three: rice, beans, and/or Mexican cole-slaw
  • Guacamole
  • Pico de gallo
  • Corn tortillas
  • And the real kicker...yogurt salsa. Absolutely to die for.
If you're ever in San Diego, you MUST go to Las Olas. There are two locations: one in old town Carlsbad and one right on the beach in Cardiff-by-the-sea.
