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
The small town ambiance is still here. I’ve driven by this old building many times. It’s not as crowded here as the new hipster places further down the road.
Tony’s Fresh Mexican Food
On my way to or from Mira Mesa I passed by this building many a time. Before Tony’s I remember it being MXN. I wondered what the food was like. I have found some good places on Miramar Road like Seaside Buffet, Chin’s, and LouZiana Food.
Letty’s Casita – El Centro
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 […]
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.
Taco Villa
Place was the General Store in the old days. After that there was a Cafe. Now it’s a huge taco shop with lots of outdoor seating. I visited on taco Tuesday when the tacos are $2. Watch it as I knew something was wrong when I was billed over $20. I have decent math skills […]
Vallarta Express Mexican Eatery – Genesse Av.
Growing up one of my favorite places to eat was Picnic N Chicken. They all had a drive through and looked like a cute blue and white barn. Vallarta Express looks like a barn with a drive through. I wonder if it use to be a Picnic N Chicken. How I missed the hot […]
Grill House at Big Ben
I saw this place on my way to Niederfrank’s. I love grilling meat over charcoal at home and was looking forward to some smoky flavored meats.
