el borrego time

So, A couple weeks ago, we revisited El Borrego on El Cajon Blvd. So, if you haven't been there, just get your possibly round and heavy (trying to be pc here) rumpus up off the chair and get in your prius and drive to El Borrego now. So, if it's late at night, just camp out front until they open.

Anyway, I'll break it down for you. Get the lamb broth, 20 oz. So you say, but I'm going by myself, how else are you going to maintain that full apple shaped bottom?


Then get rice and beans, of course.


Nopal Salad. It's like pico de gallo with cactus. Num num nummy.


Then you also order lamb mixiote, which comes with garnish. Hopefully they clean those wooden spoons!


They give you a bunch of tortillas. So the best strategy is just put a little of everything on a tortilla and make a taco. Some of the meat is milder, some is dark and richer, it's all delicious though. Not cheap, but totally worth it!

So you may be wondering why I didn't really expound on how delicious it is? Because this is a first hand experience. I can't tell you how good it is.

hey fh - we must be following each other or something. a few days ago, bert and i took some friends to que huong and decided to go to sang dao as well (but fk, sang dao was closed only on mondays). i totally noticed el borrego and was wondering about it....there's lots of eateries on el cajon near the 50's streets.

Hm... I wonder how many times we've passed each other on the way to lunch?
