Mexico"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><!--[endif]-->Hey all you food lovers, I wanted to drop a quick note on some awesome meals that I had this weekend. <span> <\/span>Long Beach Racers, a group of buddies that race a Toyota Tacoma in Off-Road events, traveled down to San Felipe this past weekend to race the San Felipe 250. <span> <\/span>We had a great weekend and came in second in the race, but we also ate some amazing food as we always do south of the border. <span> <\/span>When you are in Mexico you eat like a king on a pauper&#8217;s budget. <span> <\/span>That is part of what I love so much about going down there.<\/p>\n<p>The first night we headed into town and ate at Chewy&#8217;s Place. <span> <\/span>I had the Shrimp Diablo and it was kick ass. <span> <\/span>Spicy and wonderful. <span> <\/span>We drank Pacifico and had a wonderful time. <span> <\/span>Everybody ate and drank, and I am talking about 20 people here, and the bill was all of US$190. <img

alt=\"dsc_0428\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><span> <\/span>How can you beat that??? <span> <\/span>So from there we went out drinking at the Back Street Bar. <span> <\/span>This is a little place that is owned by an American expatriate. <span> <\/span>They have great tequila, cheep beers, and a really fun atmosphere. <span> <\/span>Now after getting a little buzz on, we did indulge in street tacos and border dogs; it was deliciously sinful.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday we put the truck through tech and then rolled on down to the food. <span> <\/span>We had fish tacos, shrimp tacos, shrimp Costa Azul, coconut shrimp, carne asada tacos, and let&#8217;s not forget more Pacifico. <span> <\/span>Shrimp Costa Azul is one of my favorite things to eat on the coast of the Sea of Cortez. <span> <\/span>It is shrimp (big ones) that is wrapped in cheese, ham, and bacon and then deep fried. <span> <\/span>It is the Mexican Heart Stopper, but so good you just can&#8217;t get enough.<\/p>\n<p>One other shout-out that I want to give is to El Toro II. <span> <\/span>This is the best breakfast place that you will find in the city of San Felipe. <span> <\/span>They have chorizo with eggs, machaca with eggs, and pancakes to die for. <span> <\/span>Even better, they have real coffee and fresh orange juice to wash down your huevos. <span> <\/span>If you are ever in San Felipe, take it from the fat kids: <span> <\/span>find Chewy&#8217;s place and El Toro II and I promise that you will not be disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>Till Next Time, Keep Eating Long Beach.<\/p>\n<p>Cliv<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!--[endif]-->Hey all you food lovers, I wanted to drop a quick note on some awesome meals that I had this weekend. <span>
