• Pineda Tacos

   Pineda Tacos on Lake St.

  

  I've driven by so many times, and the whole 'hole in the wall' look always intrigued me.

  

  There's another larger seating section to left of the garbage bin. The menu display is extremely vague (keeping in line with the 'hole in the wall' look) but taped to their sneeze guard is the menu - which will help out much more what's there to eat.

  

  I got the tacos with 3 different types of meat: spicy beef, pork sausage and chicken with mild salsa. The radishes come free. You know, I completely grew up on flour tortillas only have corn based ones every once in a while. Pineda's - and I'm sure all of Mexico serves corn tacos, which has opened up my tongue. The tacos were great! Different from your down the block Chipotle. Very homey taste, sort of like a grandma's touch. Flavors are not super pronounced but rather simmered down.

  

  At the cash register there's those drink fountains in the plastic case, you know, the ones you see all the time at the movie theatre concession stands. This is Rice Water. I liked it!.. but liked the first 4 sips. After that, it's somewhat strong after each continuing sip. It tasted just like Soy Bean milk but a tad sweeter and a floral/cinnamon note (strong note) after taste.

  

  I grabbed a burrito to-go for my hubby. Again, good - subtle flavor. Super glad I checked this hole in wall. Oh, I went there a second time: their steak with onions and beef tongue is EXCELLENT!

  - Happy eating and living!
