    Went for a ride from the Big “A” to Back Bay yesterday. I have never been to Back Bay so I asked a few roadies how to get there but none knew the way.
    Anyhow my instincts took over and I went north on Jamboree Rd from PCH and found Back Bay Dr. What a scenic road. I also went up the San Diego Creek channel for a few miles before tuning back and continuing my Back Bay loop.
    I came across a little hole in the wall Mexican restaurant on 17th and Irvine Ave and was served the best carnitas taco I ever had. I look forward to that ride again for a trip back to “Los Primos Cantina”. They also gladly refilled my water bottles.

    Cheers!

    P.S. I’m not affiliated with that taco place in any way.

    Had Chronic Tacos over the weekend in CDM for the first time. It's not bad at all...for The OC but hard to beat authentic E.LA taco joints.

    In and around town (Pasadena area), I do like La Estrella on Foothill and Altadena Drive. Great El Pastor, Ceviche tostadas and fish tacos. Cash only!

    Brett, I think that's the place my brother tried to take us to that was closed (On Leffingwell just west of Santa Gertrudes?), so we went somewhere else.

    So, you could say that you've been to the Puffy Taco, but were denied entry :lol:

    I might have to do this ride just for the tacos...

    ...or I could just drive there.

    Puffy Taco has weird hours but they are still in business. They were even on the FoodNetwork once. I've lived with 1/4 mile growing up and never had a puffy taco?! Maybe next time I visit the parents.

    Looked like they were actually remodeling the inside when I drove by yesterday?!

    I was on the Food Network when they had the Puffy Taco Show. They had me place a fake take out order. I guess this was my 15 min of fame. I still havent recieved any checks in the mail yet. Not even a lousy tee shirt or free taco.

    Always closed on sundays.
