who doesn't love a good tito's taco?

played catch-up with my good childhood friend katrina the other day. we both grew up in the LA burbs, and have actually lived in LA the past few years, but neither of us had been to the famous tito's tacos in culver city before - so we decided to give it a shot.

the line wasn't too bad, maybe just 20-30 minutes. they only sell one taco, tito's taco. it's a hard shell beef taco with lettuce and salsa on the side, but you can get it with cheese too.

i got two tacos, no cheese, and a chicken tamale. opening up my box, looked like this:

below is after removing all the chips and unwrapping the tamale. the dark salsa you see is for the tamale. the salsa that came with the tacos (not pictured) was really good, and i also got a small guacamole. i don't tend to like hard shell tacos, but these were great. i think the shells are "hardened" or pressed after the meat goes in because it was so tight. the meat melts in your mouth - i don't believe it was ground so much as maybe stewed then shredded?

i tend to prefer seafood (shrimp, fish) or lengua (tongue) soft tacos, but tito's might have just changed my mind.
