Mesa Agricola revisited

Megan Strom and Juan Gonzalez of Mesa Agricola. Photo by Lauren di Matteo Our editor Dave Ross wrote a great piece about this restaurant. Since then, lines have been around the building everyday (sure, their being named one of the best restaurants in America by the New York Times may have something to do with that, but don’t tell him). I gave Ross a hard time for not actually trying the food there (since it wasn’t open when he interviewed the owners). Because I’m a team player, I volunteered to go, stand in the line, and try the grub. He agreed to let me (to finally shut me up about asking him). A woman in front of me said she was from Denver, and was in town visiting her daughter in San Diego, and drove up to Escondido to try it out after seeing the Times story. It was unfortunate that she spent 15 minutes asking questions about the four tacos she’d eventually order.
