Los Tacos

We have some good Mexican restaurants in Fallbrook, we always have. The late El Jardin and La Caseta had their loyal devotees. Some people love Estrellas, or Mariscos, our personal go to is Rosas, on the strength of their camerones de mojo de ajo and their excellent enchilada sauce. I just had menudo there yesterday.

I am not as big a fan of Las Brisas or Luna or El Parque but they are not terrible, just not my thing. El Parque is always out of something I want to order. I have been eating at Robertitos for ever and have to say that it is getting a little stale for me, everything tastes the same somehow. Still it can be awesome in a late night pinch and the carnitas burritos are excellent. El Toro has raised their prices on their burritos so high I rarely stop there anymore but I like Mohammed a lot.

I haven't done a deep dive on the food trucks or sidewalk joints in town, I confess. I worry about sanitation and the couple I did try were just okay.

So lets talk about local tacos. In my book, for chicken tacos you can't beat Rosas. They are exceptional. For rolled and fish, Robertitos. And that is the end of the story on Fallbrook tacos for me right now.

Because I want to talk to you about the place we now love in the city to the north, Temecula called Los Tacos. 

It is located in the Redhawk Center where Kohls is on 79. 

A very plain and nondescript place from the outside but absolute gold waits within.

Street taco heaven.

There you will get an exceptional taco, without peer in Fallbrook, in fact there is nothing even close.

Flavors are so good, they keep your taste buds happy for hours.

I stopped there the other day coming back from Tucson, had their choriqueso, carnitas and carne asada tacos, all under four dollars a piece.

They serve them with cilantro, lime and radish and some of the most heavenly sauces that you will ever find. 

The sauce on the very left of the setup is called the chilango, ostensibly a Mexico City blend. 

It is a piquant red that is so smoky and complex, one of the best I have ever tasted.

We stopped there this evening after a day of shopping, only gringos in the place. 

Leslie's first time, my fourth, she had a carne asada and a carnitas, then we split a quesobirria taco.

It was one of the very best I have tasted.

Perfect amount of cheese.

They had two green sauces, Leslie loved them both. 

Loved the red too.

There is a lot I still need to try on the menu. 

My friend Kirk told me was there earlier tonight and had a shrimp and garlic quesadilla.

I'm telling you Fallbrook, this place is a gem, check it out!
