Summer Salt

How would you describe the first steps back on land after swimming in the ocean? The hot sun lifting all but the sea salt from your skin while your mouth waters for warm corn tortillas stuffed with something fresh and spicy, ice cold beer, and margaritas?

Summer Salt.

We're bringing you Southern California surf culture and the food that rolls with it — food from Baja — like the crispy fried fish tacos we ate as kids after a dawn patrol session and a California Burrito with tater tots instead of rice and beans. Our corn tortillas are also authentically nixtamalized.

Summer Salt is the natural progeny of Cemitas El Tigre, in Queens, where people have flocked for cemitas, burritos, and their universally popular tacos since 2014. Cemitas' founder is a So-Cal-raised, food, fishing and Baja obsessive, ever on the hunt for better beach food. He has tried every taco, burrito, gordita, flauta, and salsa from coast to coast and San Clemente to Tijuana.
