5. Lobster Tacos
According to Mexico-born food writer, Adriana Martin, lobster tacos are a favorite dish served in El Rosarito, a coastal beach town located in the Baja California, in Mexico's Northwest. Here she has created her own version using spiny lobster and a green butter garlic sauce, perhaps a bit easier for the home cook. It is posted on her blog, Adriana’s Best Recipes.
