California Mexican Food Appreciation

[16steps]

Best burrito joints in the Bay Area?

So far the most outstanding ones I've had were La Bamba and La Costena, both in Mountain View.

la costena? Never dat.

I like la vic but thats mostly for the sauce. SJ has weak mexican food

la vic's is mediocre.

trucks are whats best in fremont/sj..

[Solix]

can someone recommend me a good mexican joint here in LA?

there's so many of them.....

I live in Long Beach and my favorite place to go is still Ricos Tacos El Tio in Inglewood. I'll make the drive out there just for their tacos. And AND they've got Mexican Squirt too. It's 20x better than Mexican Coke is to its American counterpart.

This thread that I created now makes me oh so sad living in NY.... :eek:

There are decent "authentic" mexican places in NYC, but def no good burritos.

Try Superior in W'Burg and theres some joint on Ave A and 7th st that has good tacos and shit.

[Solix]

Taco Loco in LB.

[BrokenGlass]

El Farolito, the one on Mission @ 24th.

The Al Pastor Super Burrito is the best burrito i've ever had.

this thread makes me mad at how i swandered my mexi experience while living in CA.

I tried to make the most of it, but it could never be enough. i miss it like a junkie misses the fucking needle.

I currently live in NY now so this thread makes me cry...

[madapaka]

man, i remember when there was a la taqueria in san jose! then it shut down and turned into a carls jr or something..

shit

[madapaka]

la vic's is mediocre.

trucks are whats best in fremont/sj..

glad to read this. i've gotten into debates about la vics and how their sauce is the only thing worth going for.

besides that, i'd rather go to la bamba in mountain view. my fav is pancho villa in sf, its just pricy.....

Best spot in Mountain View is still La Costena. Corner of Old Middlefield and Rengstorf (in the back of the supermarket. Sit outside and enjoy the deliciousness for us living in Asia now.

[tac0tron]

Anyone go down to National City (or TJ I guess) for some Tacos El Gordo? SO FUCKING GOOD!!!!!!!!

[madapaka]

i haven't tried la costena yet, even though it's located right next door to la bamba...should give it a try one of these days.

[Dex_star]

so far in my limited experince, LA mexican joints have been killin it compared to SF ones... buuttttttt the salsa verde here in SF is pretty legit... all of em are like halfway between guacamole and salsa

tried cancun and farolitos so far... next up is coyotes for some asada fries (not expecting em to beat albertos in LA, but looking forward just to have any asada fries)

[ngbetter11]

I heard there's a spot in NY that uses plantains as the bread/taco/base (something)

...but this is probably not mexican
