Mariscocos

Our newest neighbor is among the very best seafood restaurants in Tijuana and certainly has the best view. I can testify that the shrimp tacos and marlin tacos shown here were great and the mariscocos (a coconut filled with a seafood cocktail and soft coconut meat) are also very tasty.

Nuestro vecino nuevo es uno de los mejores lugares en Tijuana para comer mariscos y pescados. Puedo ser testigo que los tacos de camaron y marlin mostrado aqui fueron terifico y los mariscocos (un coco lleno de coctel de mariscos y carne suave de coco) tambien son muy ricos.

El Mayor otra vez/El Mayor again

El Mayor Cucapah

El Mayor Cucapah is the largest traditional indigenous Cucapah community in Baja California. For more than 15,000 years the Cucapah have lived here with fishing as their primary economic activity. The community is located near what once was the mouth of the Colorado River. Now by treaty between the United States and Mexico, 90% of the Colorado goes to water southern California, Arizona, Utah and Nevada. 10% goes to water the Mexicali valley and Tijuana. The Cucapah, the fish and the river itself get the remaining 0%. None of them were consulted of course. There is no longer any Colorado River reaching the Gulf of California.
