Yeah, these things are scattered through the greater LA area. Many "taco experts" deem this place as one of the best tacos in LA. I've been to a few. By a few I mean six of them. I stopped by one near the house the other day. Parthenia and Corbin. Yes, the one on the corner in that center next to 7/11. These places are all really similar. They are consistently inconsistent. Do I hate the place? No. Do I crave it fort nightly? No. If I need a taco, I'll stop, but there are a number of places that are in front of it. I will say that Carnitas Michocan which is also all over is much better store to store, but that is for a different story. Menus all look about the same, lots of plates and combos. I will say that their burritos are decent, but sure as heck no Bucky Burrito at RT.
I go into this joint in the middle of the day. I am ready for an in and out, eat some tacos, take a couple of pictures and jet. The lady working, yeah rude as heck. I don't get it, she was not even mildly attractive. I tell her what I want. Five tacos. I tell her what I'm looking for, she tells me no, I get frustrated, roll my eyes, it just keeps going from there.
RATINGS:
ASADA: 3, good stuff, not great. flavors were ok, but not amazing.
PIERNA: 3, this is like machaca for pork. I reccomend trying it if you haven't. Good stuff.
LENUGA: 2, there was just no flavor. It was boiled meat, just made me sad.
PASTOR: 2, just not good. Heavy clove and not good. Do not proceed.
BUCHE: 1, chewy! I did not even finish. Had two bites and was done! Nasty.
SALSAS: 3, didn't get to try them alone, but I love that they paired them on top of what they thought they should go with, that makes a big impact with me.
Alright, so why did I really go? Why was this reviewed? I just need to get a taco fix. I'm saving my thoughts, love and excitement for Saturday. I'm quite excited for this weekend, The Great San Diego Crawl of 2013. Stay Excellent everyone!
