No mater where you go you there's the ubiquitous Taco Bell, no not authentic Mexican but if you like something, say the bean burrito then you will like the one in California just like the one in Tennessee, or the one in Florida, that's great.
9. La Lupita Mexican Eatery

Located in a new strip mall, La Lupita is very new and clean looking with interesting wall art. The staff is very friendly and solicitous. However, the food was not very good. (Maybe because it was a Sunday evening.) When evaluating Mexican food, the "gold standard" for my wife and myself is carnitas. My wife ordered the carnitas tacos and I ordered the carnitas super burrito. Unfortunately, the carnitas were dry and tasteless. Interestingly, on the wall were taped pieces of paper and a white board with East Indian food items listed. Apparently, there is an East Indian connection to this restaurant, but we could not find out due to the language issue. We will not return.

7. El Pollo Loco
Reviewed By 205kiml
We do not have El Pollo Loco's in the midwest. I LOVE El Pollo Loco. I was so excited to take my husband here when he went out west with me once and he said it was worse than Taco Bell. Well no worries........I love El Pollo Loco and there seems to always be a long line when I am there so someone else also likes it. The chicken is very flavorful and seems very fresh. The taco salads are wonderful and I just love the creamy cilantro dressing YUM!!!!!!!!!!!
6. La Flor De Jalisco Restaurant
Reviewed By flashncrash
i've been coming to the La Flor de Jalisco truck for several years both when i was still working in the area and even now in retirement. they recently bumped up prices but, really, who hasn't. the truck is located at 21st and Macdonald Ave, in the parking lot of the La Flor de Jalisco market. there is a small parking lot and usually plenty of street parking. i personally enjoy their lengua tacos and super burritos as well as their cabeza tacos. love their salsa verde that i also use when i make guacamole. my family enjoys their pollo and asada burritos. i am sure, much like chinese restaurants, that people are gonna have their favorites when it comes to taco/burrito trucks but for me the LFJ truck is the one for me. they have tortas as well and plenty of soft drinks to choose from including agua frescas. they are accepting credit and debit cards though they charge you a transaction fee. i always go cash. there are metal benches and tables available to eat there.

Great fresh food at reasonable prices -- you can see them patting out thick handmade tortillas while you wait. Great chicken, steak, tacos and quesadillas. We showed up hungry and tired and left with happy full bellies all around. Wish we lived closer so we could eat here more often.

We stopped in after a busy day and were pleasantly surprised. The service was excellent. Atmosphere very nice. Spacious. Chips and 2 salsas were brought to the table - one red and one green. Both were quite spicy and fresh. The ceviche was delicious containing not only fish but fruit and vegetables. My husband tried a mole combination dish - 4 moles. It is unique to find a restaurant that has more than one mole, being a blend of many spices. He liked 2 of them. My enchiladas were delicious. After visiting a little with the servers, we asked if it were a chain. It is a sister restaurant to one in Emeryville and one in San Rafael. We have been to the Emeryville restaurant and it is excellent. We definitely will give this one another try.
