The calexico chipotle pork taco was meh. Tortilla a bit stale tasting and pork had a vaguely sour taste that didn't quite work. They were also out of cheese by 8...wtf. Asia dog beef hotdog with mash was awesome, with great spiciness from the special ketchup mixed with the crispy chip things. I also enjoyed the bolognese rice ball from the sicilian street food joint (NOT the arancini place, which I didn't see until later). It had crisp skin and flavorful rice...way better than Eddie's (sorry bro). Went last night too. The calexico chipotle pork taco was meh.

It was very good but it wasn't the typical empanada I've had in Argentina where they are baked. It was more like the Colombian version I've had in Bogota where they are fried. My rental apartment in Bariloche is directly above an Empanada bakery so the smells of baking empanadas waft upwards starting at 5AM every morning. My favorite empanada there is the Cordero(lamb)- it's a Patagonian specialty. I had the beef empanada at La Sonrisa Empanadas yesterday.
