San Diego's border city, Tijuana, is known for their TJ (Tijuana) Dogs which are sold by street vendors. A Friday night seemed the perfect time to try the two newest menus items at one of my favorite Mexican restaurants, Lucha Libre. Their TJ Dog is a bacon wrapped hot dog (and if that's not good enough by itself!), piled with grilled red and green bell peppers and onions. A hit of mustard, mayo, and spices topped off this delectable combination. I left Lucha Libre wondering why I had only ordered one, it was that amazing! Their Mexican-inspired TJ Corn was also a pleasant medley of flavors. The sweet yellow corn was enhanced by the queso enchilado (aged cheese with spices and chile), lime, mayo, and chile. For those of you in San Diego, I highly recommend both of these new dishes, but you also can't go wrong with any of their gourmet tacos or other menu items. Be sure to indulge in the Creamy Cilantro Salsa (now that's a recipe I would pay for!).
Guess I'm going to miss this field trip, huh? Hopefully there are some places in the Bay Area that carry that good TJ flavor to the north! Though you'll probably attempt to perfect this menu soon!
