Letty’s looks like the houses I use to live near when I was a kid. Nice roomy inside with a big yard in the front.
Much more spacious than the tiny apartments we lived in. I like the scents inside.
I try a carne asada taco first. Corn tortilla is freshly made in the kitchen. I like the mild corn flavor. Carne asada had a nice sweet beef flavor but the heavy charring distracted from the beef. Also the beef was dry from over cooking. Carnitas had interesting flavors. Tasted like it was deep fried and a bit of salt was sprinkled on top. Preparation seemed more like a chicharron dish than the carnitas I’m use to. Pork was totally dry and not something I would order again.
I wonder if they would sell me a bag or tortillas. I could make some awesome kalua pork tacos with them…

They have good chips! Cute picture of the statues. Kalua pork tacos sound wonderful.
I’ll make some kalua pork tacos for you after we eat the ham and turkey!
I can always tell your tacos from the rest – just meat with no fixins 🙂 That’s sad the pork was dry!
Sometimes I’ll add lettuce and tomato but I like to test the meet the first time.
Enjoying your blog. I used to work at the da’s office in El Centro and ate at Lettys more than a few times. An interesting place you should check out if you’re ever back is China Palace steakhouse- they took about a quarter of a chinese food restaurant and turned it into a steakhouse- actually pretty good tri tip sandwiches back in the day!
Ray,
Glad you are enjoying the blog! What’s good at Lettys? Thanks for the China Palace tip. I get out that way once or twice a year. A tri tip sandwich sounds good!
