I visited this place in the old days when the sign said Roberto’s. Now it’s Donato’s Taco Shop. I ordered a beef taco, carnitas taco, and horchata.

Oaxaca Fresh Mexican Grill
We stopped in Carpinteria on our way to Aptos, CA. Carpinteria is a very quiet beach town in May. Located south of Santa Barbara beach crowds should be filling this place up when summer starts. Maggie found Oaxaca Fresh next door to the ice cream shop I was looking for. Place looked like a nice […]

Los Taquitos Arcadia
Los Taquitos Arcadia has modernist look a bit like Chipolte. From the name I was expecting an old hole in the wall taco shop.
Juanitas Taco Shop – Encinitas
The small town ambiance is still here. I’ve driven by this old building many times. It’s not as crowded here as the new hipster places further down the road.
Tony’s Fresh Mexican Food
On my way to or from Mira Mesa I passed by this building many a time. Before Tony’s I remember it being MXN. I wondered what the food was like. I have found some good places on Miramar Road like Seaside Buffet, Chin’s, and LouZiana Food.
Letty’s Casita – El Centro
Letty’s looks like the houses I use to live near when I was a kid. Nice roomy inside with a big yard in the front. Much more spacious than the tiny apartments we lived in. I like the scents inside. I try a carne asada taco first. Corn tortilla is freshly made in the […]
La Perla #2 – Grand Av.
I use to see lots of strip malls like this in the 70’s. I visited this particular one many times in hopes of getting a donut next door but the donut shop is always closed when I came by. Now La Perla #2 is tempting me with tacos.
Taco Villa
Place was the General Store in the old days. After that there was a Cafe. Now it’s a huge taco shop with lots of outdoor seating. I visited on taco Tuesday when the tacos are $2. Watch it as I knew something was wrong when I was billed over $20. I have decent math skills […]
