They no longer have the $30 tasting menu - it's now a deal where you do $10/dish (can be a bit more depending on the dish). We started with a strawberry gazpacho, had some seared ahi, a wonderful soft boiled egg, soup with pork belly, veal cheeks on torn pasta, and finished off with a tasty brownie. It was a spur of the moment thing so I didn't even bring a camera phone. :( We were shocked that the restaurant was NOT full on a Friday night - definitely a gem!

Although Tito's is probably the most well known taco stand around, I can't say they blow me away. Any Tacos Mexico location.

Not quite as cheap as Baja Ensenada that the article mentions, but still only about $2-3 bucks. Also, they mentioned Norman's cocktails, but not the Friday night pig roast--for $19 you get pig, paella and mashed sweet potatos. Probably the best pork I've eaten. ever.

Most of us refer to it simply as "taco truck" because when it comes to taco trucks, there is only one worth considering, but some people call it "El Taquito Mexicano.
