The Best Tacos in San ClementeGuest Gastro-Blogger Hits Our Home Turf in Search of the Best Surf Grinds

DestinationTaco x San ClementeThis is Episode 2 of Destination Taco: a town-to-town expedition of all things cradled in a tortilla and known as a taco. Our second stop brings us to San Clemente – where SWELL has home-field advantage in a town packed with tacos so delicious, I considered moving there. Seriously. I literally fell in love with tacos. Multiple times.  As always, I will be rating and awarding each experience accordingly on a scale of 1-5 Cleavers. So let’s get started in this surfside paradise of taco perfection.

DESTINATION TACO INFOGRAPH

Bull Taco San Clemente
Bull Taco has only called San Clemente home for 4 months and hit the ground running with an impressive and affordable menu and atmosphere. I won’t even bother trying to describe this place – it’s just awesome.

  • Choice of the Day: Duck, Vegetarian, and Shrimp Bacon Chorizo
  •        -Best Choice: The Shrimp Bacon Chorizo brings the term “mouthgasm” to mind.
  •        -Tortilla/Toppings: The tortillas are buttery and toppings are brilliantly thought out.
  • Salsa Bar: No salsa bar but they’ve got a great selection of carefully crafted hot sauces
  • Perfect Pairing: Pacifico (on draft).
  • Suggested Dress Code: Like I said. Laid back: boardshortsbikinis, & graphic tees
  • Wait: Nothing more than a few minutes, if that.
  • Taco Tuesday/Happy Hour: Changing the game with Taco Thursday – $1 tacos/$2 beers.

Verdict: This is not some kind of Taco Shop turned test lab. The flavors are carefully crafted and compliment each other beautifully. Hell, even the Vegetarian was good and I hate all that stuff.  Simply said, this place will leave you excited to come back again and again.

AMBSN Home BoardshortsThey don't just have cutting-edge style... they have a sense of humor

The AMBSN favorite is back, and the HOME volley shorts have pledged allegiance to party.   Co-founding brothers Dylan and Dustin Odbert know how to have a good time, and that fun-loving spirit is in every handmade pair.    These California kids took this patriotic style to the next level with a contemporary cut and silicon washed microfiber suede.  AMBSN were the first in the action sports industry to push short style towards shorter and slimmer cuts, and this roached elastic waist short is an instant classic.

They took the same humorous approach to their ad campaigns, posting a parody of American Apparel in Vice Magazine. This spoof ran on the back cover, while the American Apparel ad graced the inside cover. The AMBSN ad campaigns always entertain their young, well-dressed demographic who get super pumped on ridiculous trends like Movember’s mustache grow-a-thon.

The shorts have a 16 inch outseam, new-wave low-rise fit, and contrast back patch pocket with a metal eyelet drain. Traditional tie and Velcro closure, and supreme-suede fabric make this your surf-hard, party-hard summer essential.

We love seeing these guys cruising around San Clemente, and they rip at skating and surfing.  Get your California made HOME Volleys here
