Hello Summer part 10
of 12

Locals and tourists dip plump burritos into hot sauce as sandy hair dries under the summer sun. Hungry village crawlers and beach combers chat in between bites and cars honk as locals whistle. Runny ice cream cones drip onto the hot sidewalk like paint off the brush of Jackson Pollock. Incoherent numbers whisper out of the overhead intercom and flies buzz with anticipation. As soon as a belly swells and your last sip of water drains, the journey back down the 101 begins in route for your favorite beach.

The overly crowded patio of Cessey’s is a sure sign of the arrival of summer.

Where do you go for a quick burrito?

    Too bad Cessy’s is the NASTIEST food around! I won’t even tell you what kind of vein I found in my VEGGIE burrito! Where is the Lola’s picture, huh? Is it not showing up because it is hidden in the barrio and no tourist will be found at the best Mexican joint in town?

    Lola’s, for sure. Alejandro’s is better than Cessy’s too.
    But the only reason I ever enjoy Cessy’s is because it just goes hand in hand with the beach. After a long day there, it’s just nice to stroll on over and get some food and still almost feel like you’re at the beach. I mean look at the customers, 90% of them have just come right out of the water.
