El Taco Llama, one of them...

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!
