Looks like you found yourself REAL Mexican food, uugh it sickens me when people believe “Taco Bell” is Mexican food especially when they are living in Southern California surrounded by REAL Mexican food.

Here in Southern Cali there is TONS of Mexican eateries at really low prices to. And many of the grocery stores that cater to Mexicans (like Vallarta) sell delicious “Carnitas” (meats that are boiled, then fried in lard heavely seasoned it can be pork shoulders, pork chops and they sell Chicharrones you just buy some of those with hot sauces and garnishes and buy a pack of freshly made corn tortillas and your set) it also helps that the Mexican Bakeries are near by to or in the store.

My mother showed me how to make some “Carnitas de Puerco” I blogged about it:

I have other Mexican recipes within my blog to.

Oh yeah there’s a delicious place called “Daniel’s Tacos” on Vineland in North Hollywood, CA on Friday nights lots of Mexicans and other people traditionally go out to eat and they are cooking the meats outside infront of you and in all the delicious manteca from the meats release on to the griddles they are frying lots of onions and chili peppers and give you some with het tacos it’s soooo gooooood. Oh and they fry all the chorizos there to. My favorite are “Tacos al Pastor”

We also have a chain called “El Gallo Jiro” wonderful bakery within and meats to. Tortas, Sopes, Aguas Frescas, Caldos, Tacos, Burros, everything mmmm…. that’s when I love being half Mexican my mom can make many of that stuff to (except for the “carne al pastor” those are secret recipes the restaurants gaurd and require special equipment)

Now I want to make a chicken quesadilla.  Bren, you kill me *LOL*  Sometimes, it takes a little home-esque cooking to satisfy.  Taco Hell is only when I just have to have it – which lately is barely ever.

Sounds delicious.  I can’t remember the last time I had Taco Smell, but i’d just keep craving a taco before i ate there.. ICK.  Glad you found somewhere new.  I’ll definitely have to look that place up the next time i’m in Atlanta.  Funny, I usually only eat quesadillas when i’m in mexico.. but you make it sound like it’s just like being there.. so..  i’ll have a shot at it!!  thanks!!  i’ll let you know when i try it out!

They look very fresh. It’s the lime! A squeeze of lime on anything takes it to ‘nth degree. I’m not a fast food person but I have been to Chipolte’s and it’s very good. Maybe not as authentic as a roadside stand but quality meats and fresh. And definitely not as cheap.

P.S. I forgot to say that it looks like you’ve gone through a little re-design. Your blog looks very good.

Bren, street food usually shoot well but you captured the essence wonderfully..OLE!

Hey we all have our thing. At least you work out hard. Funny about kitchens. I love mine( and its bare bones)but feel out of place in a lot of otheres. Weird huh?

Those look completely awesome.  Fancy, shmancy, if someone KNOWS how to cook, that’s all that matters!

That’s one fancy taco stand!  Looks amazing and probably is a lot fresher than T-Bell. I admit, I eat there too from time to time!

i actually hate cooking for myself as well.  i can NOT believe you admitted to eating taco bell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you have some cajones!  street food, no matter what city, is some of my favorite type of food. just had a lamb gyro in a street cart for $4 for lunch on friday. the BEST! glad you’ve discovered this place… looks like a gem.

I would go to that place.  You look great in that coat.

Sooo funny – but it’s true. We ALL have a favorite taco joint – I know I certainly do!

So glad you found a wonderful taco truck!  I have so many in my area, not to mention so many wonderful hole in the wall Mexican joints, that make meats so much more beautifully that fast food places.  And and and.  They have tongue and any other kind of meat you may want or imagine.  But hey, look at where I live.

Love the cheap taco fix.  And your pictures make me crave it that much more.  Awesome.

Love your tongue B…I want to eat this Mexican food now! When you get to San Diego you will be going to El Zarape – .99 fish tacos sooo buenoooo!!!

Dollar tacos are one of my Favorite Things.

Wow fantastic ideas for my next lunch with my friends. Bye from Italy by Cakeitaly.com – A taste of Italian sweets

Hey Babe, how you doin? I would give anything to enjoy a couple of the tacos right now.

Happy Holidays to you and the family.

catching up with you, girlie. we have these stands too. that one really does look muy excellente. is that even spanish?

this is a post that the universe surely needs to know about… because i think taco bell is close to inedible.

They are pretty neat for a dollar, would love to get ahold of a veggie version of this…

I checked this taco joint out and I got one word for you. SICK!!!!!!
I’ll be hitting this up on the regular.

Oh, yummy! I love tacos! They look really scrumptious!

Best wishes for the New Year, Bren!

Cheers,

Rosa

Yum that is absolutely making my mouth water-and for $1? If you had that in Sydney there’d be a 300 person queue every single day!

Thank you for this post!  The entire time I was reading it, I was going “Where is it? Where is it? Where is it?”  I’m off to hunt down that trailer!

Hey Bren, so glad you’ve been introduced to a taco truck! Truly authentic Mexican tacos! You’ll never find tomato on a real taco, only diced onion, cilantro and shredded cabbage. So good! Here in Boston there are a couple restaurants that sell GREAT tacos! La Verdad by Fenway Park is selling $1 tacos (chicken, carnitas or pork – limit 5 per person) on Tuesdays, and Tremont 647 is selling $2 tacos, no limit, awesome variety, SERIOUSLY good eating!!

Magnifico B. Los taco se ven delicioso.  Def something that i’m going to cook up for dinner one of these nights.

Hey Bren! I love this place, I am there almost weekly. Best Taco in ATL!!!!!

I have been going here for months. My cousin lives in a subdivision around the corner from the trailer. It is always PACKED. The tacos are GOOD! I went there today and ordered 5 and ate them ALL. My only problem is I wonder how many calories each one is? Help! Please someone give me an estimate.
