Message: | Burrito King on Sepulveda: machaca and pork/green chile burritos were my great passion when I moved back to L.A. from the east coast in the mid-seventies. About 1980 or so, the original La Salsa opened on National and Sepulveda and Burrito King went belly-up. La Salsa was my first exposure to Mexico City-style antojitos, quite a change from the soupy-cheesy L.A.-Mexican food I grew up eating. I lived a block away from Snug Harbor for twelve years - always got a kick out of the "Home of the Zweibelburger" sign, but I found they repeated on me... Monte Alban sounds wonderful. Is it better than Guelaguetza? I'll definitely put it on my list for the next time I get back to WLA. I know what you mean about missing really good Mexican and Japanese food, living in the east. (We have a couple of excellent Thai places in D.C.) Last time I was back in L.A., I ate Mexican food or sushi for lunch and dinner every day. |
