You're Going To Chow Down Like A Sad Fatty

Been on my list for a while.

 

That burrito "feeds two to four people". Better bring a friend.

 

The Hollenbeck Burrito is a more reasonable size, but will still satisfy pretty much anyone.

Before I change my allegiance to Jalepenos I will have to hear from a full blooded Mexican.

Google best tacos in OC and OC Weekly's Gustavo Arellano. He has a list that you can start on. He's full Mexican and has authored books on the subject.

am I the only one that likes jack in the crack???

He hates Arte. That's a start.

I used to go there when I lived in Alhambra, but I haven't been there in 20 plus years.  Is the food the same?

It's been about that long since I've been to El Tepeyac too. The food is as good as ever, according to these Yelp reviews. Manuel, the owner, died in 2013 but I believe it's still run by the family.

Whoa, tough question.

I'd want some combo of bbq and Mexican, but too many quality options listed. Arthur Bryants bbq, Miguels (hate all you want), Ruth Chris, and Phillippes.

Oh, and definitely end it with Afters. Ice cream doughnuts for sure if I'm eating myself to death.

Soto brought the thunder here.

I'm not even a dessert guy but damn those hot milky buns stuffed with ice cream is crack.

This thread made me hungry. I'm at a dive called Tacos y Pupusas in Anaheim.

my wife makes this potato casserole (it's called world's best potatoes). i could gorge on this like there's no tomorrow. it's filled with butter and cream/milk, and it's absolutely incredible. we usually combine this with another casserole called special k loaf (it's a vegetarian loaf that has cottage cheese, eggs, and special k cereal, and it's terrific). top this off with a big bowl of cherry vanilla choc chip ice cream, and you can call the mortician.

After eating all that, I'm calling dominos for a meat lovers pizza.

If you were wondering, this place is very mediocre. Fúcking Yelpers.

Yeah, I'm not even big into sweets (I'd crush a whole batch of brownies though any day), but that place is legit. They are opening one in the Diamond Plaza soon or maybe it's open now.

I actually wonder if I could scrap my post and eat nothing but homemade or top quality mac and cheese only in one sitting until I died.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Oh man, a good homemade Mac N Cheese with a crusted top is pretty damn good.  Throw in some diced jalepenos and sprinkle some ground chipotle pepper on it too.

I don't think I'd trust a bunch of twenty-something Asian chicks to tell me what's good Mexican food.

the flip side is that most of the good asian places ive been have a kitchen staff of 20 something mexicans.

i cant lie, im still partial to lame ass kraft cheese and macaroni.

Every now and then ill get a mac and cheese at a restaraunt with chicken or whatever meat they put in theirs. Thats a good little meal

I love Smoqued. Had lunch there last week. Burnt ends and fried pickles are solid

Any love for albertos? Their carne asada burritos are great. Love the guacamole and the tortillas they use.

Mexican places always seem to have the best fries. I think albertos' tortillas are similar, they add lard which is obviously unhealthy as hell but adds flavor.

Anyone remember a place called carmels? Used to be one in anaheim when i was a kid, good mexican food

Havent had it in years, but the chicken place at knotts was pretty good. They have (had maybe) breakfast on the weekends where you could get the fried chicken with eggs and pancakes. I thought it was great, but then again im a fried chicken homer.

Try their BBQ Shepherds Pie, or whatever they call it.

Burnt ends + bbq sauce, with crusted mac and cheese on top.

Smoqued is solid.

I'm meal prepping and all that bullshit like eating hardboiled eggs and plain oatmeal, but since I'm going to Growl (cold pressed green juices) next door later I'm going to smash a plate.

Not a fan of fatty burnt ends, but think they have brisket or tri tip and will crush that with some mac and cheese.

[Brandon]

Speaking of mac and cheese, you know who has legit carbs, Panera Bread.

It's thick like the Velveeta shit, but absolute top notch. Assholes charge ~$5 for a small cup, but one can kill 3-4 of those in a sitting.

Agreed, I dont trust yelp reviews of Mexican places for that very reason
