Think outside the taco shop.<br />
BY JAIME LEWIS<br />
n this column, I’ve written about my quest for superb carnitas and juicy burritos. Of course, I’m not alone;<br />
wherever two or more Californians are gathered, discussion about Mexican food will ensue.<br />
The simple taco, wrapped in paper for take-out, will always have a cozy home in our hearts, but a handful<br />
of restaurants in <strong>SLO</strong> County offer Latin cuisine for times when we have more than a few minutes to<br />
eat—and more than a few dollars to spend. Each has its cultural roots somewhere in the Americas, and the<br />
heartfelt pride of each proprietor shines through in every bite.<br />
ISo, step away from the burrito wagon, if only this once. Dine deeper, both culinarily and geographically speaking. You<br />
may find that your new favorite dish hails from somewhere between here and Cape Horn. >><br />
