Eat This: The Kraken

Known for its mesquite-grilled seafood creations and shockingly pink salsa (only add a couple drops—it’s that hot!), Tacos Kokopelli has brought innovative tacos and unforgettable salsas to the streets of Tijuana. A must-order taco is The Kraken. Octopus is slathered in a Mexican pesto—think cilantro and poblano chiles—and grilled to perfection. For extra punch, ask to have the octopus tucked into a grilled Anaheim chile, which is then nestled inside a warm tortilla. Cuahutemoc Sur and Sánchez Taboada, Tijuana
