It is an Eagle Rock staple, and makes a perfect midnight snack. Also, I was recently just south of the border, as well, in Puerto Nuevo (just south of Tijuana), there I found some fabulous food including mountains of fresh lobster at a very affordable price. Just in case anyone is in the market... I am definitely going to have to take ML and EB to Leo’s Taco Truck when (and if) you come to LA for my graduation.

Of course, the music in Erick's isn't always that great either, but the tacos sure are! As most of my friends and family have learned, if you come stay at my place, we're probably going across the street to Erick's (a.k.a. Peralvillo) at some point, likely after I hop out of the shower (the window in our shower stall directly faces Erick's). Luckily, no one seems to mind. They make their own chorizo and pastor meats, or so I learned from Erick (who is actually the owner's son) on one occasion, and it is the best. I might go get some right now!
