Am I a glutton for food and punishment? Yes, I am...
As a…read moremom making 1k+meals daily for picky kids, when I get a chance to "run errands" and pick up food, I'll get as much variety as I can. Filipino and Mexican food today.
In the spirit of eating good and supporting local, I made a U-turn and got some tacos on the way home from the Eastside. Taquizas Los Pistoleros is right off the 10 Freeway and they're always dependable for delicious tacos. If you're gonna get any type of food you need to transport, why not pick a place known for their catering? I swear they package everything so well and beautifully, it's like dining in.
The last time I went there, they had a 5 taco special with a small drink for $5. Now they have 4 taco special with large drink for $7.95. It's still a huge amount of food, no matter the price changes, so I didn't mind. I specifically went on Sat. because some people said that I had to try their Al Pastor as well as their Barbacoa on the weekend. Omg they were right.
The Al Pastor was soooo flavorful and the chunks were huge so you could taste the seasoning as well as their pineapple chunks. Definitely get these.
Their Barbacoa was soft and fatty. Really tender meat, not dry. I'm a fan. I got their limeade as a drink but hubby stole that too.
Chris came out and took my order and I guess he recognized me from my posts, because he gave me some quesabirria to try.
I've tried quesabirria at a truck at the Taco Shop Barbacoa y Birria Estilo Sinaloa, and it was really nice, very flavorful. I liked the consomme there.
I've tried it at the food truck rally at Placeres Culposos and their actual tacos held up a lot better when dipped than other places. Taquizas Los Pistoleros quesabirria is a good version as well. They definitely give you a lot more cheese...and the consomme is more like a salsa. Thick with a kick.
I wanted to support his business and saw that the restaurant was asking for donations to help his Tia with expenses since their breadwinner passed, so I have him some cash. I didn't realize it was a raffle for a huge catering plate! So if you want to do something nice and maybe win something, check out their FB PAGE and enter there.
They deliver all over too since they're smack in the middle of El Paso and their family meals can't be beat! Support good food, support regional tastes, and #supportlocal!
