Though coveting thy neighbor's wife or underground sprinkler system is beyond the pale, longing for a mouthful of their cuisine is an understandable desire. Today's Groupon satisfies desires to eat from the table of our nation's neighbor: for $5, you get $10 worth of traditional Mexican cuisine and drinks at Hightide Burrito Co. in San Marco.

Hightide Burrito Co.’s menu bathes eyes in wave after savory wave of fresh, delicious recipes from Central Mexicoland. Start with chips and guacamole ($3.40) or bottomless chips and salsa ($4.99), then nibble at cheese quesadillas ($6.50) with pico de gallo and mushrooms. Lupe's famous Baja fish tacos include panko-breaded fish, shredded cabbage, lime, and a tangy white sauce placed expertly into two soft and fresh homemade tortillas ($7.50). The house special is the Hightide burrito, served with your choice of panko-breaded or grilled fish ($7.50). Sweeten your esophagus's attitude with an apple chimichanga: stewed apples stuffed inside a crispy tortilla drizzled with cinnamon, caramel, and whipped cream ($5.99).
