Spring means baseball, right? Then you should definitely go to East Beach Tacos, a small taco stand serving up one of the most inventive taco menus, with a view of the batting cages. You can get fresh tuna poke tacos served in wonton shells, Bahn mi-inspired tacos and crispy fried fish and shrimp creations. The menu here isn't limited to tacos. They have a number of other yummy snacks, including the Beach Ball, a seasoned rice ball filled with spicy tuna and sprinkled with sea salt and sesame seeds. But go for the tacos and order the triple play: three tacos of your choice for just $9.
