Amor y tacos

just a quick thank you to those who have posted about this place.

used it as an alternative to joe josts to meet an oc pal. odd location, but
i enjoyed the tacos, although the mole tots were…well they were something.
good cocktails.
caveat: the food wasn’t as hot (temp wise) as it should have been. no, i didn’t
complain, because i’m not that guy.

anywho, worth the drive from the l.a. area if looking for an oc place to meet.

YES. I was thinking about this place yesterday. Agree that it’s worth the drive. Bummer about the temp, though.

And too bad you weren’t a fan of these bad boyz…

my bowl didn’t look too much like that.

i think serving them in a bowl is problematic. should be on a plate to better
individualize the tots.

btw, i should be shot on general principle for typing “individualize the tots.”

The duck tacos and short rib taquitos are great. If hungry, get the Doritos chilaquiles with carnitas and egg.

Doritos chilaquiles? Seriously, not to get too political on a food board, but recreational use of marijuana should be legal, because food like this doesn’t just happen miraculously.

Just be happy there was no mixup on the “i” and “o” letters on the keyboard, esp. given that they are adjacent to one another.

Like a shark, I think you’ve been purposefully circling around it, waiting for the right time to move in. I’m on to you. :laughing:

We tried it because it’s in the Michelin Guide. It’s fine but nothing special.

The best reason to go is probably the tater tots covered with mole, melted cheese, and onions. It’s as good (or bad) as it sounds.

We weren’t too impressed with their tacos. It’s a long drive for the realization that Villa’s and Tacos 1986 are much better.

Overall, lots of hole in the wall Mexican places around town are on par or better.

I thought I had posted about it back in the day but I guess not. It always seemed more Mexican American to me and only okay. If you live in the area of say it’s a fun place to go for a beer after work with a few snacks. Nothing more.

The short rib flautas are what I go there for.
