Mexican Food
- Thread starter NWB
- Start date
Lingua burritos and sopas are just about the best thing I can get off a local food truck that absolutely delivers on Mexican food. They've been coming to my work for about 5 years now and the lines are impressive.
She is from central Mexico and he's from the coastal region. They mixed the indigenous food of their regions into crazy good food fair at an even crazier price point.
She made a goat taco plate last year as a one time thing to check it out with us
I keep bustin' her chops about bringing it back.
For "fast" food around here it's Aldabertos ( another incarnation of the chain restaurant listed already ) who are not stellar but give consistently good food, and Jimboy's Tacos who make a superlative taco... but it was better when they were .50 cents each back in the day. Now they are full of themselves and charge a lot more. You can give upwards of 3.75 for 1 taco. They aren't THAT good (get off my lawn!)

Thanks Mike.
We'll be coming back up from Oregon on Sunday and will go there for dinner. I look forward to trying Al Pastor at last!
I'm here to report that you cannot write off a restaurant by virtue of it being an imitation Alberto's. There's an Alfredo's near my office that is better than any Alberto's I've ever been to. If you're ever in downtown Covina, check out Alfredo's on 2nd Street.
Went to Taqueria Mi Pueblo in Detroit last Sunday.
Ceviche and Tacos (Lengua, Al Pastor, Chorizo)

I finally had some pork al pastor at Frida's Gourmet Mexican in Anacortes, WA on Father's Day.
Very, very awesome! It was in tacos with black beans and was delicious.
Thanks to those who suggested it!

Yes, although my dad also lives in Anacortes and there are all sorts of fun things to there as well. So, it's really a great place to end a fun-filled day on Fidalgo Island.
We went there after a boat tour through Deception Pass which was quite cool.
It's right in the downtown on Main Street (or Commercial?). Pretty easy to find in such a small downtown.
A fascinating breakdown of the 15 burrito styles of the U.S. (it's a 3 pager...sorry).

Had a really good texmex just now.
Rice, chicken, pintos, Pico, guacamole, green hot sauce.
The guy used epic portions of guacamole- he's new. The other guy hates me.

I had an awesome breakfast at Cisco's in Austin last Thursday. The migas are divine, and those fluffy biscuits with butter and honey. I love how the place is run down and old inside too. I could eat there every day.

That's how some of the best restaurants are. They're too busy making killer food to redecorate!
Exactly. We sat on chairs from the 70's, with some tattered edges and rips in the vinyl. The table had a slight rock to it, and looked like it came from the 60's. The floors were well worn from years of walking back and forth. Even cooler is this place was the secret location Lyndon B. Johnson would hang out at when he was in town and he didn't want anyone to know. The man who opened the restaurant was very influential in the Hispanic community, and this joint was the hub for the locals in the neighborhood to discuss current political issues. The walls are decorated with pictures of all kinds of local as well as national celebrities who have stopped by.
