I have lived in LA all my life and grew up eating tacos and what my lovely English/German mother made in the oven that she feels she half invented, stretching a small amount of hamburger to feed 7 people and calling "enchiladas." I ate bologna wrapped in tortillas heated on the stove all through college. (My "lover" adopted the practice.) Can't say I've had a Taco Bell taco since high school when my boyfriend, Michael Quinlivin was the assistant manager there. But..I have been on a taco tear lately. Don't know why.. Cancer drugs? Winter? Don't know. Here are my recent thoughts about tacos... First.. for some reason, my husband, Phil, started calling them, "Tack -Ohs." We both found this inordinately funny. So.. now we both call them Tack - Ohs. (We get strange when people charge us less because they perceive our age.) News about tacos and tack-ohs in my world: Joselitos has two locations.. Sunland and Montrose. (Sunland's Joselitos is called "Joselitos West." Ha!) Both have very serviceable tack-ohs. I prefer The Burrito Factory's (on Foothill in Sunland) but the tortillas tend to break a bit. Their shredded beef is heaven, however! I am a bit embarrassed to admit that I LOVE Jack in the Box tack-ohs.. really, they are "tack-ohs". They are greasy and cheap AND greasy and then, put that stupid Jack in the Box hot sauce on them and oh! ..The Best, lately, has been at Presidente in Mission Hills. Truly Tacos! SO GOOD with a side of corn cake. Presidente has a second location at Reseda and Devonshire. (Yes.. I am from the Valley.) I will continue my search.. Maybe we should join forces? Love you Luis! xo
