You and food jb!

It does look good though. I'm hungry.

jbig31 · 10-03-2012, 11:04 PM

Inspired by my own thread, I talked the wife into some Mexican for dinner at one of our favorites-El Burrito

To start, they have the BEST salsa.

And for dinner I chose the Shredded Beef Tips w/sauteed onions Chimichangas

I go to a little mexican restaurant near my office for lunch just about every week, Fiesta Mexico, and I always order the same lunch special - a beef burrito, beef taco, refried beans, chips and salsa, and with about a third of a bottle of El Yucateco green habanero sauce dumped in the salsa and all over the food (I like my mexican "Paint Peeling" hot!) - all for just $4.99!

It's a cheap but very "fulfilling" lunch...

A Nacho Libre reference - nicely done. Haven't seen it, but I just might for Ana de la Reguera.

arcadeforest · 11-09-2012, 12:08 AM

I had this recipie posted over in the crock-pot thread. Thought I would put it in here as well considering the "Mexican" theme. Easy to make and its great on taco's, in wraps, on buns, etc. We use this just about everytime we make tacos at home.

jbig31 · 11-09-2012, 12:24 AM

Gonna hit up my favorite local Taco Truck/Trailer this Saturday! Can't wait! I love their Steak Fajita tacos.

Slap-your-mamma-good!

Here are some pics from a great little taco place we found in North Shore, Hawaii--Killer Tacos

Delicious!

Delicious!

How was the salsa? Everything else looked really mouth-watering except for the salsa in this pic (looks like it came from a jar, rather than made-from-scratch

)

The salsa was incredible! I'm almost 100% positive it was homemade-I thought the same thing when we got the chips and cheese, but it was delicious! I was chopped really fine, but really didn't have a watery consistency you'd think it would have chopped that fine.

jbig31 · 03-07-2013, 12:10 AM

Dinner. Carne Asada taco and Tamales and guacamole

jbig31 · 04-25-2013, 12:34 AM

Found a new taco place!!!!!! Taco Bob's!!!!

I wouldn't necessarily call this fast food, but it definitely blow Taco Bell out of the water!

Two Funny Tacos (kinda like the Double Decker from TB, but wayyyyyyy better!) and Bob's Burrito!
