Got some grease on the lens, too. !

I would have to chime in and say anyone who includes lettuce in their breakfast menu is not normal. 


Coffee and lettuce...   :o :P

no salsa? i eat a breakfast burrito every morning, got hooked on them a year ago. eggs, bacon, salsa (with a little tabasco), pepperjack, and guac rolled in a tortilla (too lazy to cut onions and lettuce). the greatest thing in the world. oh, and a cup of joe. i wouldn't survive half a day without this combo.

Everybody knows that the Immaculate Church of the Divine Breakfast Taco is in Austin, TX.

Seriously, I don't even give a sh!t about Texas and I've found this to be true.  Who knew?

my Mexican uncle's breakfast burritos do!   8)  hottest damn things you ever put in your mouth!
i have no idea how that blind man can make such good food but, i don't question it, i just eat it.
although, if he put lettuce on... i think i would question.


p.s... gerhead... nice wide angle.   ;)

so, i'm thinking about it... and, i think the lettuce is what makes it a taco as opposed to a burrito.   ;D

Good stuff, but it's worth a trip down S. Lamar for some chorizo and egg.  Mojitos are an overlooked source of vitamin C in the morning.

Heh. I live 4 blocks from El Rancho.  Good stuff, that.

For some reason I've found the crappier the trailer they're made in, the better the tacos taste.  I always look for handmade signs with mispelled words.

My favorite place down that way is Herbert's taco Hut in San Marcos.  That place rocks so much!   Up here i go to Lady Tacos.  I don't think they speak any English, but their breakfast gets me movin'.

There are some fine cooks sweating in those little trailers and vans.

Small world.  I rented a place off of La Casa St. about 10 years ago when I was in school...God was it that long?  After weekends full of cheap beer I usually stumbled across Lamar Ave. to Matt's for some chorizo therapy.

I don't know how I forgot to mention Fuzzy's Taco Shop.  "If it looks like a taco and smells like a fish, it's got to be a tasty dish".   I never get their fish taco's but their burritos are killer.

Seems to be the eternal Austin debate - Where the best burgers and tacos are.  Some people argue about Jesus and free will.  Not us.  Who says civilation doesn't advance?

To those visiting, you should try El Chilito on Manor and Chestnut.  ¡Deliciouso!  ¡Cheapo!

Fish tacos are OK as long as you catch the fish yourself.
