The secret to a long, fun surf session (aside from finding the perfect break), is having the energy to paddle for hours. This requires having a hearty breakfast at four or five in the morning. I don't know about you but I'm hardly in the mood to break out the frying pan while I'm still half asleep that early in the morning. So usually when we're home, we do a Starbuck's or McDonalds drive-by.
Exploring new places makes it a little difficult to find a good place for fast food or food in general. But here is a simple tip: follow the locals. The locals aren't hanging out at the trendy places that the tourist generally get sucked into. The locals go where the food is good. The places aren't always the types that stand-out. In Baja, a local gave us a tip on a small little burrito place that only opened in the morning. It was open at the crack of dawn, just what we needed. And the classic indicator of it being a true gem? It was packed with locals!

La Parcelyta is conveniently located at a junction
before we head out into the vast desert of nothing, until you hit the surf.

The sisters make the burritos fresh while you wait. It's a small staff so it takes
a little longer than a typical drive-thru but so worth the wait.

They serve tasty burritos that come in the various flavors listed above.

I suggest trying the pollo salsa verde... my favorite. We ordered 20 burritos that cost about $1(US). That's the other benefit for eating where the locals eat- the food is usually cheap! We ate some on the way and had enough yummy burritos to share after our long surf session.
