Donato’s Taco Shop
I visited this place in the old days when the sign said Roberto’s. Now it’s Donato’s Taco Shop. I ordered a beef taco, carnitas taco, and horchata.

Los Taquitos Arcadia
Los Taquitos Arcadia has modernist look a bit like Chipolte. From the name I was expecting an old hole in the wall taco shop.
Juanitas Taco Shop – Encinitas

La Perla #2 – Grand Av.
I use to see lots of strip malls like this in the 70’s. I visited this particular one many times in hopes of getting a donut next door but the donut shop is always closed when I came by. Now La Perla #2 is tempting me with tacos.
