Sunday Lunch in Culver City

My friend Lorenzo has been taking GMAT classes on the West Side on Sundays so he and I decided to grab some lunch together. I threw out a bunch of options, but he liked the Let’s Be Frank idea. I was very pleased because this hot dog stand is only open during the day, closed at nights. I’ve never known a place to g0 get hot dogs, except grilled on a shopping cart outside of a club at 1:00 AM.

The cart.

They offer the usual fair to garnish your dogs, but they also offer this sauce to top your dogs.

Here is the hot dog, juicy and well grilled and garnished with some onions and sauerkraut.

Still hungry but wanting to try something different, we strolled over to Pinches Tacos.

The decor is very authentic Dia de los Muertos.

This was a solid taco. The steak was perfectly charred and still very tender.

The fish taco was mediocre. I wish I was still hungry after this taco. I would have had another asada taco.

Check out Let’s Be Frank for a good hot dog, and make sure you try their Devil Sauce. If you’re still hungry, Pinches Tacos is right around the corner. Go with the asada tacos. They’re delicious.

I love taco trucks.

Taco trucks are awesome. I’m not talking about the new generation of food trucks that have fusion this and that. I’m talking about the original taco truck, the one that hasn’t evolved in the past twenty years. In a world of expensive places to eat, these places have dollar tacos day in and day out. I have done quite a bit of research on taco trucks in the LA area, and I’m slowly starting to check them off my list. The latest one Michelle and I went to check out was Leo’s Tacos on La Brea and Venice.

This one is parked on the northwest side of the intersection and is situated in a gas station.

They have al pastor right from the spit with the pineapple on top. Such a simple flavor combination, but it’s awesome every time.

Since we’re not too far from this truck, we took the tacos home. Of course we got all the accessories to make the tacos into a complete meal.

The carne asada.

The carnitas has a nice skin on it.

The chicken actually makes me think of Del Taco. I don’t know if that’s a good thing, but I like Del Taco’s chicken soft tacos.

This is the reason you go to Leo’s Tacos. Al pastor.

Bienvenidos al pais de sabor. Que delicioso.

This makes me want to do mischievous things.

This is one packet of Jack in the Box Hot Taco Sauce.

This is 1,500 packets of Jack in the Box Hot Taco Sauce. It may not look like much…

Until you put it into perspective.

The Proper Way to Eat Street Tacos

Well, at least according to Michelle. Would you like some taco with that pepper?

Making doodie and writing about it.

Michelle commented about how as of late I have been becoming a food blogger. Really I have no capacity to explain food in any manner that does it justice. I eat food because I need to in order to survive, but I figure there’s no reason it can’t  be delicious food. There’s also no reason I can’t get some blog content out of it.

On the eve of New  Year’s Eve I headed out to Teresa’s Mosaic Cafe in El Segundo. This restaurant was something Michelle picked out for us to stop at on our way up to Culver City.

All the tortillas are freshly made.

The chips are fresh as well and the salsa is awesome. There’s a nice heat to this but it’s not overwhelmingly hot.

Tacos de Lomo. Deliciously prepared. Too bad there aren’t more of them.

They don’t call them burritos here. They are called burros, because they are large. Here is my burro with the DROID as a comparison. Mmm, donkey.

Michelle said I should change my blog name to Sure Eats Work.
