Reason #2 I Rule

I without a doubt understand, comprehend and acknowledge the following truths to be fact and I am lucky enough to have grown up in it's mecca.

San Diego by far has the best Mexican cuisine of any place on the planet. Better than Me'hico herself.

It is an interesting dynamic of changes you'll experience if you travel only an hour to the north or if you go down below the border. If you ever stop off the highway to grab a carne asada burrito somewhere in LA, not only will the food be different (and suck) but it's probably more expensive. If you travel down past the border you may find food cheaper, but again it is certainly different.

There are a few prerequisits a Taco Shop must have before they fall into the catagory of greatness.

1) It must be open 24hrs a day with the freshest meat served at 2am.
2) Somewhere in the name, there must be some derivative of "bertos".
3) When I walk into the place I want to feel like I'm in a 3rd world country.

It's easy to spot the Taco Shop owned by some white dude who just moved here from the east coast looking to capitalize on San Diegos transplanted ignorants. Those shops are eatible, however they will never be champions.
