The surprising joy of dining at Taco Bell Cantina in Pacifica

I am not really into fast food these days. I had my days of being a junkie in college and high school, but nowadays I rarely enjoy it and when I do - I usually regret it instantly. That’s why it was shocking to me that I wanted to try the Taco Bell Cantina in Pacifica. Maybe it was the beach house in front of the ocean? The surfers indulging?

The clam chowder and Bay Bridge view is great at The Waterfront Cafe in San Francisco

My go-to clam chowder spot in San Francisco is Alioto’s in Fisherman’s Wharf. I was saddened to hear during a recent visit that Alioto’s closed down, the pandemic has been harsh on the spots that normally draw tourists. I still had the craving for a clam chowder and was on a boat heading back from Sausalito when I looked up The Waterfront Cafe at Pier 7 and made a reservation on OpenTable.

Spending a perfect day in San Francisco's Japantown plaza

Kids like anime these days. When I was a kid, that was considered weird but my anime-loving cousin wanted to go to Japantown during my trip to San Francisco. I was excited to take my cousin to where I first tried sushi at the age of 5 years old. I fondly remember conveyor belt sushi, big hats at Benihana, getting my first bonsai tree, and lots of green tea.

Tampa sure does love sushi, but most places do not actually focus on the first. Many places in Tampa are strictly for makimono, or they roll their sushi.
