Round 2 of the Sitka halibut tonight. Fish tacos. Flour tortillas because that's what we have. Homemade pickled red onions. Homemade blender sauce, with Kewpie mayo, lime juice, garlic, onion, cilantro and jalapenos picked from our garden this morning...it was delicious straight out of the blender .

Garlic Fest last night was a bit of a dud, I suppose another big thanks to COVID. While the Weds night market has a dozen or more food trucks and tents, there were only 4-5 special garlic vendors. But my wife got to try black garlic ice cream, so it was a minor success.

They both look the same to me in the picture. Also they both look very good. I'm a little surprised they put the same things on two different tacos...or is that by your request?

By the way, aren't you a fan of Mizrahi Grill? We finally tried it a couple nights ago. Very good, authentic food. Of course being a certified Kosher restaurant it was quite expensive. We split the combo appetizer and a mixed grill (chicken and beef, I forgot the menu name) entree for $40. But it was also plenty of food for us. Probably would go back for lunch, where we could easily get by for $15/person, but maybe not dinner since we don't need Kosher. Would definitely buy pitas to go, as they were some of the best we've had.

At Sf taquerias, its practically standard to put cilantro & raw onion on every taco. Its like a Chinese noodle place putting raw chopped scallion in every noodle soup dish. These 2 tacos have different salsas.
I love Mizrahi. Definitely going to cost more than roti. Its pure Israeli.

It's a type of marinated beef. My taqueria makes it in cubes instead of strips/sheets as described in the below article.

Mrs braslvr's favorite as well, and something that was very common in the 60s-70s that you rarely see these days.
