Seared Ahi tuna taco at Bluewater Grill in San Diego, California.  One of the best fish tacos I’ve ever had in my life.  This place is legit.  It is a seafood market that offers a variety of fish prepared three different ways: tacos, sandwiches and whole plates grilled or fried.  The tacos are super cheap (only about 5 dollars each).

They have a very unique and straight-forward method of ordering here.  You pick a fish, pick a seasoning, and pick out how you want it on your plate.  Their website explains it all right here.

I also sampled the Alaskan halibut and the grilled shrimp, both were amazing, but the seared tuna was the clear winner.  They LOADED up the taco, it was like a seared tuna steak on a taco.

Great food, great city.  Bluewater Seafood Market and Grill 3667 India St (between San Diego Ave & Winder St) 

Bourbon-soaked pork chop from St. Anselm. 355 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn NY

Down a long alley in the simultaneously gritty and beautiful port city of Valparaiso, Chile you can find the Chilean version of  the late night drunk snack- Chorrillana.

The best of the best is located at J. Cruz M. Social Club and Casino (Condell 1466) .  J. Cruz is only open 10 pm to 1am during the week and weekends, but luckily for me it is also open for lunches on Fridays and Saturdays from about 10am to 4pm.

Chorrillana is a gigantic portion of french fries buried underneath fried steak, onions and scrambled eggs.  Absolutely addictive and fantastic.  A group effort that lends itself to ice cold beers and humorous anecdotes.  The social club is full of people toasting drinks and listening to ballads played on flamenco guitars.  The walls and tables are covered in graffiti and random mementos.  Just my kind of place.

Two thumbs up!  Let the devastation begin!

Besides Chorrillana, I’m not too sure what other fare is offered here…  I did see some local Portenos gnoshing on gigantic bowls of stew, but there certainly are no menus.  Luckily, however they had an ample selection of beers to help wash down this monstrosity.

Above is the graffiti decorated table cloth, and below is the decimation and carnage post-Chorrillana.  Proof!
