Extra side of tendons like a boss! I need to try that btw. I got the big plate of chicken which is okay for my tastebuds I am not the biggest fan of heavy cumin.

Never in a million years did I think a taco stand like this would be 10 mins from my house in Yorba Linda.
Tacos El Chivo on the corner of Lakeview and basically the 91 in the hospital parking lot. Sorry for the dark pics. $2 tacos. $4 vampiro. $7 multitas. $8 burritos and quesadillas. Chicken, asada, chorizo, al pastor and cabeza for meat choices.
Huge al pastor spit and char grilled pastor and chicken. You can see the smoke billowing from blocks away.
They have a lot of salsas and free extra like jalapeños and pickled veg.
Did I mention the home made tortillas pressed to order?
The tacos were all excellent. My favorite was the cabeza with all the great crunchy and cartilage like pieces. So good. Line of about 25 people at 5:45 when I arrived which ballooned to 40 when I left at 6:15.

Side note: where do you eat in Yorba Linda? My in-laws live there, and whenever I’m down there, we struggle!
Any place doing good truffle dinner or truffle dishes?
That is pretty damn cool for North OC. The location kinda makes sense with lots of breweries near by. Bring a bunch of tacos and quesadillas to enjoy with your beer.

God damn it white Alaba truffles have gotten way too expensive. A proper serving, assuming the truffle’s as fresh as it should be, is to me at least seven grams.

Black seasalt and real milk flavored soft serve at Overflo at The Source in Buena Park. They called it black and white flavor. Really enjoyed the texture and mouthfeel of the soft serve. I generally hate milk flavored ice cream because it usually tastes like milk but this was a more subtle more vanilla leaning ice cream. I enjoyed this cup of soft serve even though it was kinda cold today.

Is chamorro a regional name for lamb shank in Mexico? Because I’ve only seen it used at this restaurant. I tried googling but couldn’t really find much info.
My friend who has lived in Guadalajara for years says it’s a different cut than we have in the US.
