Best carne asada taco in Southern California!

   When it comes to Mexican food, you might call me a foodie. What the heck, call me a foodie!

   There is no in-between about the delicious south of the US border food. For, it's either you love it or you hate it. Admit it, you either crave it or you don't care too much about it. Mexico is big and there are regional dishes, I am sure I have never tasted, but I would venture to say  there is nothing like a real good taco. Okay, okay, a carne asada burrito and a chimichanga ties in second place.

   With very good ingredients and a very good cook, what is there not to love about the taco. I like them with pork, beef, chicken (well, maybe not that one!) but I think with just the right salsa and zanahorias (carrots) pickled and spicy with jalapeno..wow! what a meal.

   I see that a lot of people view my blog and they come from all over the place but somehow they are shy to have their comments posted. Well, let me see if in search of a very good taco, my readers or a reader will dare have their comment posted just to get the name of the Best Taco place in Southern California revealed via a private message. Dare, double dare!

   I have a picture to show how juicy the beef and have you drooling over it. It tastes great and at a very good price (inexpensive and worth to the last cent). Thank you R for this lunch!

   Enjoy! Buen provecho!



Beef, onions, cilantro and all these meshed together in flavor creates for a very good taco.

The best munchies

   I do not have a sweet tooth. I have a sweet body!!

   I turn into this little girl all mooshy and giddy when I start talking about munchies. And to qualify what I mean by munchies, I do not mean chips only. Munchies to me covers all food groups, including ice cream (dairy). This is just things I love to eat. I am an all opportunity for anything sweet. Let me count the ways...
There is the never-fail-to-quench my craving for chocolate..the good ol' Toblerone. What is not to love with this European-made nougat-filled and choco heaven. Delicious! A must have in any purse.


For pies, banana cream pie is somewhere up at the very top of the list. It has fruit that is good for you. The crunch of the crust and silky smooth cream with the sweet banana and in this case (as always the case for me) I request coconut bits to top it.

For cheesecake, I try to have what vegetable they have in season, and during this time of the year pumpkin is everywhere, so pumpkin cheesecake it is, and double it just to make sure I get my fill of it.
And for those hot days and cold afternoons, I would get a nice single scoop of ice cream and it must have the strong flavor of fudge choco and almond pieces with a piece of cookie on top. We all scream for ice cream!

   Please be advised that all the photos posted here are my own pictures. And I have consumed with immense enjoyment the munchies pictured and featured here.

  We continue...
For something healthy, I go for the hummus (spicy) with quinoa chips. Protein galore. There is just something that makes you think you are on a healthy diet when you eat hummus. But in all honesty, it tastes good and good for you. You can never go wrong with this combo. But when you say munchies, it has that connotation that it has to be unhealthy or something, right? But, not the case on this.
And last but never the least - the tiramisu. I think of all the desserts that I have tasted THIS particular tiramisu is the best, EVER! I enjoy this so much I never tire of having it.

  Munchies, might be the exact word to use for these, but more like favorite sweets fits the bill. But I will go for munchies. I also love soups, salad and cakes. See told you, not a sweet tooth but a sweet body, now that is a precise description of me.

I hope you enjoyed perusing my sweet all time fave list. Have a great week everyone.

See you another day. Take care everyone.
