The "best tacos on the Westside"?
After hearing rave reviews about this hole-in-the-wall joint, I dragged my fellow foodie friend for a "snack." (Al, I didn't tell you, but I actually had lunch beforehand. "McFatty" is my unofficial middle name).
For you skeptics out there, I have to admit I too, was wary when I saw "healthy" and "Mexican" in the same sentence. Rest assured, all that means is they use corn oil, not lard. They also use real chicken, and other real fresh ingredients -- things that I cannot vouch for on Mexican taco trucks, at least the OG ones (and yet even knowing that doesn't keep me away, hm...).
They do breakfast too! Breakfast burrito run anyone? |
Hard taco (carnitas); Soft taco (carne asada) - $5 |
Nice portions |
The Mahi Mahi fried in light, buttery batter (not pictured) is also a good choice.
Other notable items include carne asada burrito, tortas, and cheese enchiladas... all for very affordable prices!
The best part though, is the fact that I can bike here in less than 10 min. Gotta love Santa Monica. :)
