im out here in california and i deliver beer. i eat at alot of different taquerias that i deliver to, usually i just get a burrito because its pretty much all i knew. lately within the past 3 months or so ive had a helper with me and he is from mexico, he has introduced me to some different taqueria fare. a couple of weeks ago i tried popusas, a dumpling like thing that has meat, beans and cheese inside a masa pouch and pan fried - i thought they were pretty good untill today.... he had me try sopes, the same masa made into the size of a corn tortilla but with a "wall" around the edge that held carnitas and carne asada in my case. they topped them off with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. these things are awesome or "bombalicious" as my helper described them. before having this guy around all i knew were burritos, enchiladas, nachos, and maybee a tamale or torta. VIVA La Mexico
 
I've never heard of those. In NY, all we have is run of the mill mexican food, although some of it is downright delicious.

My ex was Colombian. She introduced me to bunuelos, empinadas and fried plantain. Stuff was great. I used to love bunuelos with a manzana postobon.

Man you have found it.


great mexican chow is all good but delivering beer isnt as glamorous as it sounds. try running 1000 cases a day into liquer stores with a hand truck, it aint a "find" ill tell you what.
 
Well at least you'll work the chow off and then some. Yeah that would get old fast - and you must be buff!!

My bro lives in Fullerton. I go to one place on Euclid and Chapman every darn day when I'm down there (one time twice in one day!!)
 
I ate at my first stateside taquiera the other day, and had a chorizo taco. It's a peppery sausage with red color. I highly recommend them. Ate at several in Mexico, but never was brave enough to venture away from the asada tacos.

Stay away from the tacos de ojos!

Peace.


Do they use real ojos?
 
I'm not sure about the place Pablo mentioned but I have been to a few places that serve ojos de vaca [cow eyes].

I'm afraid to try them but do enjoy tripas (tripe) as long as it's cooked very crispy.
 
I grew up in SoCal and I haven't had a great Mexican meal since I left. I've lived in NY and now live in the south.

Nothing like waking up on Sunday, going to the Mexican restaurant for some Chorizo and eggs and a pitcher of beer before the football games started.
