Yesterday I stopped in at the new bodega that opened up across the street and WOW was I glad I did. See being from CA I grew up taking for granted that I could get certain Mexican food staples. Living on the Coast I have been reminded that not all tortillas are made the same.
Luckily for me I walked into LA 2 and found my favorite brand of tortillas (Gurreros **** stars) these tortillas are the ones I grew up on and they sell them here so I am ECSTATIC!!! While it just opened and they have not fully stocked the shelves, I am Uberhappy that they have a wide selection of all the mexican sodas I grew up on.
They also sell fresh cuts of meet and dried and fresh chorizo (**** stars) but what takes the cake is that they have a taco/torta counter in the back!!! So now I can get my tacos and tortas for lunch the way they were made back home!!! Carne asada, al pastor and LENGUA!!! and on Friday nights and weekends they have BARBACOA!!!
These people have become my new best friends!!! Sorry taco shops on the Coast, I don't think
I am going to be coming around much anymore!!!
P.S. the three star rating is because they have a very limited menu and the taco counter is just that... a counter. But the tacos (***1/2 stars) are good!!! read more
