    we were craving a dessert and found this place on yelp and decided to head over. it is located in…read morefront of the grocery market across from the eastridge mall. the churro can come with different fillings like custard, but we opted for the original. when we got there, the lady made our churro fresh. it was PIPING hot when we got it and SO GOOD. it was coated generously with the sugar and cinnamon. definitely want to go back and try it with different fillings. we ended up just eating it outside in front of her stand since it can get a little messy. 10/10 recommend

    After going to mass today my mom was craving churros, fresh churros, not the hard frozen kind that…read morevendors have sitting behind a glass enclosure then reheat and serve. Yuck! Frozen churros should be arrested for false impersonation. I was going to stop by Cardenas Markets to get Tres Estrellas Churro mix which is like bisquick for churros and make some at home. I highly recommend this mix and it even comes with a piping bag but you should have some experience of making choux pastry dough since the directions (for me anyways) have always been wrong. However, since I'm planning on baking lots of cookies tomorrow I decided to jump on Yelp Bay Area to find a nearby churro vendor. We could've gone down to Our Lady of Guadalupe Church or Christmas in the Park where there is one good churro stand down by Quetzalcoatl. Again, the other stands have those fake frozen impersonators but since I didn't want to search for parking I decided to go with the Yelp recommendation of Churros El Guero in front of Fresco Market next to Eastridge. This is also a very busy spot but we were able to score a parking spot right away. Unfortunately, the churro guy had just arrived and his oil was still heating up so we were patiently people watching. This is when we noticed lots of people going over to this haphazard outdoor dining spot. This was not the ideal spot to visit since the weather forecast has been falsely taunting us with rain all day. Since it was now noon we decided it was best to eat real food before munching on something sweet. I had never been to Elma's Taqueria which is connected to Fresco Market probably because I don't like that market. I went in once when they first opened and it stunk. Literally and figuratively. Nope, I'll pass. The line for Elma's was impressive so we strolled up to the outdoor window and looked up at the menu. It's basically Birria everything. Birria de Res (beef) and Birria de Chivo (goat) in a bowl, tacos, quesadilla, quesabirrias, etc...and daily specials including Menudo today. Since it was packed we shared a table with a gentleman from Michoacan while waiting for our order who said this is the best birria anywhere. He said even in Michoacan this is would be the best birria. High praise indeed. My verdict. It was good. Well seasoned, juicy and generous portions. I could only eat one taco so we packed up the rest to bring home and walked back over to the churro stand. Remember the churros? I did. In fact I remembered hiring El Guero to do some events for me in the past where he brings his pot of oil and makes fresh churros on the spot. Then you can have him fill it with chocolate, strawberry, caramel or other fillings. $3 each or 4 for $10. We opted for 2 originals, 1 chocolate and 1 strawberry. We gave him the cash, brought them home and plopped down to enjoy our fresh churros and we were happy. End of story.

    The suadero burrito I had was pretty delicious here, and the red and orange salsas were both…read moredelicious. This food truck is next to a few small shops like a liquor store and martial arts studio (dojo?), so there's a private lot. Which is good because street parking is tight. They also have a tent set up with a table and chairs, which would typically be nice although when I came it was windy and about 95 degrees out. As much as I'd like to eat my burrito quickly, I don't feel like doing so while it feels like I'm inside of a giant hair dryer. So the good is that the burrito is delicious and the salsas are fresh and tasty. Two small complaints. First, it took about 10 minutes to make my burrito with only a single order in front of me. That is just too long. So if you're in a rush, well, maybe don't be in a big rush. Second, while I know meat prices are up, $16 before tax is a lot for a medium size burrito. If the burrito was huge I'd say fine, but it's just a little small to make me feel it's good value. Maybe for $12. Anyway, the bottom line is the food is very good, I can't imagine someone having a problem with that. But it's a wee bit expensive and a wee bit slow. If you're not in a rush though and not too price conscious they make a very delicious burrito.

    I moved to the bay from San Diego and have a hard time finding decent Mexican food. This place is…read morefantastic and scratches the itch perfectly. It's around the corner from my home and I love coming here late at night when I'm wasted
