Rubios.... T.H. that makes me barffff, if you like theirs you would love the ones at Del Taco. Trust me, about the same.

I dont run around taking picts of my favorite Taco places, but off the top of my head.... The Big Burrito in Canoga Park, Only meat stuff... Tacos or Burritos... Head, Lips, as#@&%es, flank, al-pastor, Eyeballs... they make it all.

Then there is the Taco Truck that parks in the east Valley, at the Pick-Your-Part ,that services the Quick Auto repair places that have grown around area...

No english speakers work at that truck, but they have all sorts of meats and sausages cooking... so I try my poor Spanish, give em all a laugh, and get like 6 Tacos for $5.... man thats eating.

In Big Pine... there is a Taco Truck.... most of my friends will not even try those places.... OH SCARRY! They all scream whenever I suggest stopping.


Good morning, now we need to eat Mexican this am before going climbing!!!!!!

The place Mouse posted up looks good as well as the SuperTaco.

Haven't been there in a while. Price was good.


EDIT: I never ate many, but my friend Robbie did. He would eat from some of the grungiest places along to road to Ensenada, I refused. The key though was to eat a lot of peppers with them.

I guess I should add that Robbie died at a much younger age than I will, though more likely from the other productos de México than the tacos.

ZBrown.... Id Hit That.

Mouse... Looks good, I look for the longest line.

I would mention Los Torros in Chatsworth, but one doesn't go there after Stony for the food..... Its the Margaritas,--- Cadillac with a shot and a Mondello Negro on the side....


Arch... whats best in Ojai??? I have been going to Wheeler lately.

And you should come to Moorpark, we have a place that makes Vegan Tacos, real vegan Tacos they don't try to slide in meat grease. Potato Tacos, fried on a separate grill, along with grilled hot veggies, peppers and cabbage ....

La Cabana in North Fork for authentic Mexican.

Stopped in on a sunday, around 7pm.... place was shut down tight, I have been told that the place is a front for all the DRUG LORDS that work the area. Thats why they have adjustable hours. True????? :>)

There is a place in Sanger, next to a laundry mat..... they have this hot young woman making tortillas by hand, they bring em out as you need- HOT and FRESH.

now im hungry

Taqueria Lacumbre.

We usually went to the San Mateo location (we were living in Burlingame) but would venture to the SF location on occasion.

Usually would have a burrito not tacos. The only bad part was the guac. they liquified it and squeezed it from a bottle so usually would skip and ask for fresh avocado. Still the best flavored grilled meat

Who was the first of us to coin the term "Supertaco" for supertopo? It sure stuck!

Ocean Taqueria, in Ingleside, South San Francisco. That used to be my spot! Living about two blocks from it probably helped. Or the El Toyanese ( sp?) taco trucks that used to frequent the mission/downtown. Used to munch those after climbing outside the climbing gym all the time.

The Best Mexican Restaurant Ever is closing soon.


http://www.redlandsdailyfacts.com/business/20141115/los-jarritos-restaurant-to-close-after-50-years-in-redlands

It's been there since 1965. I've only been eating there since '76.

When Los Jarritos closes Mitla's in San Bernardino will take over the top spot. A lot of people think Mitla's is #1 already, but those are people who haven't been to Los Jarritos.

Haha. That's a joke I hope, cause that family works hard for whatever they have and they don't have fancy cars and gold plated pistols.

They do have some shitty hours though. Closed on Sun and Mon. Closed during ciesta hours and close around 730 each night.

Big Mike,

The Taco Belt in SoCal runs east from Downtown L.A. to San Bernardino, mainly between The 10 and The 210. If you stay out of the fancy-looking joints ( El Torrito, and places like that ) and eat at a Mom & Pop, you're guaranteed to find the best Mexican food anywhere.

The competition among Mexican restaurants around here is tough, because a lot of people here know how to make Mexican food, and a bunch more know what it's supposed to taste like when it's done right.

GuyMan, c'mon tell the truth!? You know, that time you ended up in the E.R. after you went to your "favorite" Taco Stand. . .1979?

Edit; thats the reason why your Friends won't eat at the same places that you do. . .

I stuffed a super burrito from Taco Johns in my pack when we went through Lander. 6.5 hours later it was cold dinner in the Cirque of the Towers. Best burrito I've had in a while.

there was a place, El Charo that I remember stopping at in the early 70's after a desert trip with the RCS of the Riverside Chapter of the Sierra Club, I think it was in Yucca Valley...


as for SuperTaco, I think Mick Ryan has the first post recorded in 2001
http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=62&msg=63#msg63

have you ever thought that you were really a ghost, you go back to places and remember the way they used to be... wander around in the streets looking for them. Yucca Valley today isn't like it was in 1970.

The best tacos I've had were in Leon, Mexico...
