Mariscos El Paisa
Owner and master coctelero Humberto Buelna has been preparing and serving Sinaloan seafood specialties from his small stand near Tijuana’s Mercado Hidalgo since 1994. El Paisa offers a number of tostadas, cocktails, prepared shellfish, and aguachiles, all made with extremely fresh seafood sourced from the nearby Pacific. One of the El Paisa’s specialties is the shrimp and white clam aguachile tostada, on which heaps of delectable seafood comingle with a lime and serrano aguachile atop a crunchy tostada. To add heat, top with plenty of El Paisa’s chiltepin salsa, which Humberto makes from the small dried chilies daily.
