Not Quite, But Close Enough

We were excited to welcome Rubio’s to Stockton, California.

Even more to learn that each Tuesday’s from 2:30PM to close the fish tacos are only $1.25.

Of course only $1.25 means little when you consider that the same fish taco in Mexico is only about 80 cents every day.

Still, you take what you can get.

I understand that the Rubio’s fish taco is based on “the real thing” from Mexico.

Not quite, but close enough.

I’m guessing the difference is the Rubios franchise has to actually use clean cooking surfaces, change the oil every once in a while, and must face rigorous quality control issues.

See how annoying health regulations and big government only serves to keep the fish taco makers down?

Or are these rules designed to help consumers keep the fish taco down?

One of those eternal glass is half empty or half full questions.

    There are certain foods that simply cannot be duplicated within the confines of US law. For instance, in the south the best BBQ (which is always a pulled pork, smoked, and NOT slathered in some sauce that somebody thinks is the best in the world) is always found at a small side of the road BBQ pit that has a health rating of no higher than a “C” and has a healthy looking swarm of flies around it!

    You know, of course, the realist says that sooner or later someone is going to have to wash that glass.
