| - Here's a first... I've always believed in word of mouth recommendations. But I've never been the recipient of an indirect, long-distance recommendation before. My brother, who lives in California, saw an old episode of DDD that featured Los Taquitos. He texted me saying we should check this place out when he's in town again. So I beat him to the punch and took my girlfriend to the Elliott Road location for dinner last week.
Having not seen the actual DDD episode, I previewed the restaurant's website and was impressed. And when we arrived, I was even more impressed. Los Taquitos is a modern, bright and cheerful fast-casual Mexican restaurant. Their specialty is street tacos and they have Margaritas y Cervezas to complement them! Oh, and burritos, tortas, tamales... I could go on. And the artwork is brilliant!
My girlfriend and I each enjoyed our selections. Hers was in a bowl and I tried a combination of the various taco fillings. There are home made salsas available, but you really won't need them. Everything is fresh and seasoned well. But grab a bunch of limes! You can't go wrong there.
And of course, I had to tease my brother about the fact that we tried his suggestion without him. But, happily, I confirmed that he knew a good thing when he saw it. We will be back! With or without my brother.
