Javier's and El Flamin' Taco

I have two favorite places for Mexican food, and I've eaten at many different places to come to this conclusion for street tacos, and restaurant tacos.  My favorite for street tacos is El Flamin' Taco (taco truck) on Vermont & 5th across the street from Jack in the Box.  My favorite for restaurant tacos is Javier's at Irvine Spectrum.  I've eaten at A LOT of taco trucks, and Mexican restaurants, and these are my personal favorites... if you don't trust me, please try it for yourself and let me know what you think.

El Flamin' Taco:  must try the carne asada and al pastor, tacos or burritos.  Don't wait until you get home, eat it right there next to the salsa bar while it's hot.  Maybe take a burrito home for breakfast the next day!

Javier's:  must try the Soft Taco plate with steak, Steak Picado, Steak Fajitas, or Shrimp enchiladas.  Beware, always a long wait, but great food, and great interior design/ atmosphere.  

  

New York has very few good Mexican food options so it makes me miss these two places even more.  On my recent visit, I made sure to visit Javier's once and El Flamin' Taco twice!  So if you're in Southern California, have a taco for me!
