They have remained among our favorite fast food indulgences all these years.

They are full Mexican restaurants now, and pretty darn good (and authentic) ones at that, but it's their original ground beef tacos that steal the show.
But I still don't know what makes them good/unique!

Cooking method, seasoning in beef, special cheese, dusting of Parmesan cheese on tortilla. Why not try them and see for yourself.

I attempted to make homemade spaghetti sauce in a crockpot, but somehow it ended up being too watery. Currently cooking it without a lid to see if that improves the sauce.

skirt steak marinated in mojo criollo then grilled for tacos with fresh cilantro & guacamole

To drink with dinner: Corona Familiar (MUCH different than the typical Corona)

After dinner drinks:

Aperol Spritz

Prosecco (or Cava)
1 shot Aperol
1 pour of seltzer water
1 slice orange

Fill a tumbler or large wine glass with ice. Fill the glass 2/3 full with sparkling wine. Add the shot of Aperol. Top with seltzer, stir well, then add the orange slice. Awesome summer drink

Yep! I try to eat a half an avocado every day & they are perfect this year. Still a little pricey but worth it. Sprinkled with a little Maldon sea salt & it's the best.
