Not only was the food great but they were also set up in a shitty part of town, so there was a pretty good chance you'd see a shooting or at least a fistfight while you were eating at a table underneath their canopy, especially late on a weekend night. Nothing like dinner and a show, right?
I swear, if I'm ever forced to go back to California, Tacos Jessica is going to be the first place I stop when I get there and my last stop before I leave.
What the hell, Kenny. WHERE IN CALIFORNIA????????
ReplyDeleteI mean, I have plans to never, ever go back there myself, but it always pays to be prepared, right?

There was a place in Denver, on the west side of course, called Chubbys and they made green chili that was the best I've ever had. Even better than mine which is killer. Sometimes I'd just get a quart of chili and some tortillas.
ReplyDeleteMany a time when I would come back from a road trip, my first stop before I even went home, was Chubbys.
Damn, they must have one helluva comal to cook that tortilla ! That is one 'commode choker' for sure. So which are your favorites burrito - breakfast or dinner ? Any recipe ideas you want to share with the rest of the class ? My breakfast is pretty simple - refried beans and bacon, with a strip of cheese and jalepenos to taste.
ReplyDeleteMan, where did that drool come from ... :^)
For breakfast, a breakfast burrito that I make. I'll put up my recipe from my old blog on Friday.
DeleteFor lunch or supper, I like carne asada or tongue with rice and beans.
That's funny. When I saw the picture above my first thought was "I haven't bad a burrito for breakfast lately". Shame on me.
Deleteid like to see some of this crowd's recipes. I got a feeling you fellas can cook some tasty meals!
DeleteA place Rockford, Illinois (God forbid) called Uncle Nick's makes a Gyro to die for. Left town on a Greyhound headed south with 6, including 4 hour layover in Springfield, Mo. Made it home with 1. ge
Delete1st rule of taco trucks. Just eat it, never ask what kind of meat it is.
ReplyDeleteThat's not two meals.....that's three at least....
ReplyDeleteAt Tacos Jessica, it's two meals - once you start eating you can't stop until you just can't stuff anymore into your belly.
DeleteThere was a place in Oxnard where you could order a burrito any way you wanted. My way was a four-way starting with barbacoa, beans, rice and cheese. The thing was a foot long and three inches across. It was a meal and a half. Now here in Texas, it's hard to find a flour tortilla as big as that, so I will order one with chorizo and egg, bean and cheese, I had to train my fav taco spots...they always wanted to make two tacos. One with bean and cheese and the other with chorizo and egg. They couldn't get their head around having all four things in a taco.
DeleteCarne Guisada is better here in Texas than I have eaten anywhere else. Try a carne guisada, bean and cheese taco (two or three) and you will be satisfied.

Nah, the one I went to was in Modesto. The pictures of the food at the links show me it's a different truck - for one thing, the guy's holding a tiny carne asada burrito compared to the truck in Modesto serves.
DeleteDoes her truck say 'Jessica's Taqueria' on the side?

DeleteI think it does Elmo, but the link Hawken Cougar just sent says it's closed down.
DeleteWell, there goes my only reason to ever go back to California.
Well, that sucks, big time.
DeleteThis Covid crap is completely out of control. And the clowns running California could give a rip how many lives they destroy in the process. Sickening.
Well your mom is still of this earth, so i figure that would be the only reason to go back!!!!! Grayman
