Taco Tuesday

It’s Tuesday so you know what that means… Tacos!!! I always say that tacos isn’t just something we Californians enjoy just cause.. It’s basically our religion in its own way. We take it seriously and we shun those who dislike tacos. I mean seriously.. How can you dislike tacos? 

So today I’m going to highlight three of my favorite Taco Shops… 

If your ever in Orange County, you must visit Alberto’s. Alberto’s is the closest (my opinion) your going to get to a San Diego style taco shop up this way. 

There is nothing fancy about Alberto’s. Your going to get real deal, delicious kinda whole in the wall location that just might have a B rating lol. Regardless I’ll eat at Alberto’s before any fancy taco place in a heartbeat. 

Carne Asada tacos 

Chicken nachos, rolled tacos (taquitos) and carne Asada plate 

If your ever in the Culver City area you must go to Tito Tacos. Hands down my favorite spot in the Los Angeles area. Titos is simple. All tacos are beef, tamales are chicken and burritos are all beef or been and cheese. That’s it. And their chips and salsa are the best. I always get a medium sized chips and salsa with my order so I can have some for later. It’s not a chain restaurant and is very popular. Don’t let the long lines outside change your mind about visiting. The wait is never super long. Oh and cheese is extra but worth it. 

Titos Taco is located at: 11222 Washington Blvd Culver City, CA. 90230
If your ever in the San Diego area and looking for a good place to enjoy a nice lunch, I recommend The Alamo in Old Town San Diego

And if your a history buff like me, you’ll also appreciate that The Alamo is located in what is in the first settlement of California. You can enjoy some good food and learn about California history all at the same time.

And of course having a margarita to wash your tasty food down always makes a meal more enjoyable

Food Porn of the Week

Last Friday, I was hanging with one of my vegan friends and he had an urge for Ethiopian food from Awash in Los Angeles. He introduced me to this place  a few weeks ago so and I fell in love with the food. We ordered the vegetarian platter which is so so good. It was only two of us but one more person could’ve joined in and still left stuff. If you never had Ethiopian food, I highly recommend this restaurant and this platter. 

This vegetarian platter consists of lentils, peas, sweet potatoes, regular potatoes with carrots, salad (which is the best salad ever!! That dressing), spinach and you sop it all up using the injera bread. Injera bread is the healthiest bread you can eat so no guilt feelings are needed afterward. 

Awash Restaurant is located in Los Angeles on 5990 W. Pico Blvd. 

If you go, pay attention to the African art work on the ceiling. It is beautiful. 

Food Porn Of The Week

Whenever I’m in the Hollywood area, I always make sure to stop at my favorite restaurant in the area called Kitchen 24. This is the best place to go after a night out to sober up and food is exceptional. Whenever I go (or stumble) there, I order the same thing: The Breakfast Skillet with chicken sausage,wheat toast, hash browns and cheesy eggs.. The perfect breakfast!! Just typing this post makes me want some K24. Also, if you ever visit get a Vanilla Latte. Best Vanilla latte I’ve ever had. The best part of K24 is that it lives up to its name and is open 24 hours, so you can go whenever you want! I really wish a K24  existed near Long Beach (hint hint) 🙂
