A little while back, Jonah posted about the blog, The Great Taco Hunt.

Tacos can be found almost anywhere in our great city: in ubiquitious taco trucks (like the one parked across from Eagle Rock Sworks), small stands and sit down restaurants. Thus, Bandini of the Great Taco Hunt will have a virtually never ending supply of material for his blog!

Recently, was visiting with a buddy of mine in his part of town and so when time came for dinner, he asked, what would you like to try?

Well, as the cliche goes, when in Rome do as the Romans!

My friend has several taco stands he frequents so he picked El Taco.

For a little history of Manny’s El Loco stores, click over here.

I ordered three soft tacos (carnitas, chicken and carne asada) and one large Orange Bang.

Hmmm … I was very contented!

My friend asked which ones I liked of the three variations. I ranked them: carne asada, chicken and then carnitas. He agreed and said, yeah, it was odd, the carnitas was a bit off today; it is usually better than that.
