El Centro,  Mexican,  Post by Soo

Ma Lupe’s

One of the things I look forward to is our annual road trip to Scottsdale and a quick stop in El Centro to visit Ma Lupe’s.

The colorful decor is cheerful and food excellent.
Sadly this year we had to eat in our HR-V.

Windows were decorated for Christmas.

 

Currently they are only open for takeout.

I ordered 3 street tacos.  Carnitas had some crispy bits and were full of fried pork flavor.  Went great with the corn tortilla.

Carne asada tacos were made with tender, juicy beef and I loved the flavor.  The 3 tacos were smaller than I remembered and next time I’ll order 4 for a good sized lunch.

El Centro reminds me of the old days when you could buy fresh fruit from the side of the road.
Now those fruit stands have but disappeared from San Diego.

I like to take photos of beautiful things like rain falling into puddles. Photos were mostly taken on a Fuji XE-2. Starting 9.9.2016 most photos are taken on a Fuji XT-2. Subsequent photos were taken with an Iphone 13 Pro and an Iphone 15 Pro Max.
