Sips & Snacks: Tijuana-style street tacos

Driving the news: We spent a recent Saturday afternoon at Bayside Park in Chula Vista and then got lunch from Tacos el Gordo — one of Andy's favorites.

• Now I get why.

Details: The taquería serves a variety of meats, including beef head and pork stomach, in homemade corn tortillas with toppings like onions, fresh cilantro, salsas and guacamole.

• Mulas, sopes and tostadas are also on the menu.

What we ordered: The adobada (pork), carne asada (beef), suadero (beef brisket) and azteca (grilled beef and cactus) tacos are $4 each.

• The subtly sweet, spiced pork and pineapple make the adobada taco my favorite.
• If you're hungry, order at least three for yourself.
