Finally! I found an awesome Taco joint with a good attitude, raging prices, and some retarded good tacos. AND I don’t have to do the following: Drive to some “gourmet” taco truck and stand in line with a bunch of hipster  B-holes only to watch my meat get cooked by a stove powered by Chevrolet.. [...]

Finally! A half way decent Mexican establishment in Mid-City. Antonio’s gives off a good look, a good feel, and an authentic vibe. It’s not their fault the blacked out guys behind us were screaming Mangina! and breaking glasses for 45 minutes straight. Meanwhile, I was staring at the prices on the menu thinking o Good [...]

I looked up the definition of shithole and it said, “an overpriced mexican restaurant in los angeles named Lucys El Adobe Cafe that serves a margarita that taste like gatorade, mushy ground beef tacos that taste like Bhole, and stale chips. Your standard dinner plate here will run you about $18. With that you will [...]

CALLLING OUT ALL SAN DIEGANS ! Does Juanita’s Taco shop make you as happy as it makes me??? For me, driving down to San Diego couldn’t be better when I get to swing on by this taco spot and chow down on some shredded beef goodness. Three hard shell shredded beef tacos LOADED with cheese [...]

Decorated like a Christmas zoo, this clowned out Mexican joint actually serves some of the better American Mexican food I’ve had in the area which isn’t saying much. The Mexican restaurants mid city pretty much suck.  If you like multi colored lights shaped like chiles buzzing around your head  then you’ll love the atmosphere here. [...]

These damn food trucks are all over the place. The Kogi truck is true Mexorean just like the east end of wilshire blvd.  I never wanted to be a fan of a food truck because there is usually nowhere to sit. So a buddy suggested we go and we drove TO the damn truck in [...]

BOOOO!! I Really Really wanted to like this place…. but I just don’t. 3rd times a charm? Nope! I read a review on Yelp that described it perfectly…watered down Mexican food. First of all, you charge for your chips! Why in the hell, do you charge for chips? NO FREE CHIPS!?!?!?  Is that like some [...]

More like Plancha: “we poop in a tortilla and throw some lettuce on it.” If you think that’s gross then you really don’t want to know how sick you’ll feel after you take a bite of a Plancha’s taco. This place blows. The sign outside looks like it came from the slums of Guadalajara and [...]

Everybody in So Cal has their late night Mexican spot. You know, the place you go to in the middle of the night after taking your 10th shot of Jose Cuervo, gagging, and then punching your friend in the face who bought it for you. Then you run to the bathroom thinking you have to [...]

On the south side of Newport Blvd before you cross PCH to hop on to the Newport Beach peninsula, lies one of my favorite mexican spots. El Matador. It’s address says Costa Mesa but I like to call that Newport since its so close to the penin.  This spot makes epic tacos and margaritas. Better [...]
