1. Tacos El Patron
What to Order: Birria Tacos w/cheese
Link: Yelp
You’ve seen all the hype about birria tacos and Tacos El Patron does it so f’cking good. Order the tacos with cheese and dip dip dip for each bite. Best news is that they’re open for pick up or delivery through Uber Eats during quarantine. We picked up an order over the weekend and it was still as good as ever.
2. Los Hermanos Taqueria
What to Order: Steak and Shrimp Burrito, Quesadilla
Link: Yelp
One thing I think Socal does better is its Mexican food and Los Hermanos Steak and Shrimp burrito could have came from there. Its just that good. Their quesadillas are pretty good too. It’s located in a small market with an eatery inside. The size of the burrito can feed two people, or if you’re just a party of one, the burrito saves really well if you can’t eat it all at once. Plus you can Doordash an order.
4. Mezcalito
What to Order: Enchiladas, Burger
Link: Website
Mezcalito has a great atmosphere and a GREAT happy hour. The margheritas and surprisingly, their burger ($10 during happy hour) is really really good. However, the surprising treat is the enchiladas. Enchiladas is not something I ever really order, but I would keep ordering them here. Each bite is like a warm hug. Order for pickup or delivery (4pm-8pm, closed Sunday) through Cavier.
5. La Taqueria
What to Order: Tacos (El Dorado Style)
Link: Yelp
The debate between El Farolito and La Taqueria…we prefer La Taqueria. Perfect for those late light munchies or afternoon snack, their tacos and burritos will satisfy all cravings. You can order their burritos and tacos dorado style for that extra bit of crispiness. Just remember to bring cash. Sadly, its not one of the restaurants currently open during quarantine but one thing were looking forward to when its over.
