Lucha Libre Taco Shop in San Diego

A huge shout out to my boy Adam from Man vs. Food for turning me on to this taco joint!

So my lil brother had a day off from the car biz…Which is rare.  He wanted to hang and I wanted to eat…What’s new?  So I decided to take him to my favorite BBQ joint Phil’s BBQ (Which I will review later) and found it empty…Closed on Mondays…Crap.  But not to fear!  I remembered that right down the street was a place I was dying to try out.  LUCHA LIBRE TACO SHOP!!!

We had to park down the block and walk about a ¼ mile to get to the shop.  The wait was about 20-25 minutes on this Monday…Way longer on the weekends.  I saw a huge cross section of San Diegoians (Navy, Transvestites, White, Mexican, Businessmen and students) enjoying a vast variety of amazing looking food.

My brother and I opted for the Surf & Turf Taco. It has delicious Carne Asada & Grilled Shrimp with Avocado & a special Chipotle Sauce.  

Not only were they huge…They were AMAZING!!! I finished my delicious tacos with an ice cold Dos X’s…Stay thirsty my friends. The other food looked delicious and I can’t wait to return to sample and review them!

I give it 4 Stars out of 4…Place is that good!!!

Blue Dog Tavern in Sherman Oaks

So my first review is about Blue Dog Tavern in Sherman Oaks.  

I visited this amazing local gem with my podcast co-host Mike, his girl Stacie and my better half.  The first thing that struck me was its versatility as a restaurant. Meaning, you could go as a first date, guys or girls night out, with the family or good friends. In fact our friends Mike & Stacie use it as their regular hang out and stay entire night. 

Although the menu changes from time to time, you can be sure to get a great burger anytime you visit. For this visit I choose the Summit Burger which consists of Onions, Bacon and Sharp Cheddar Cheese. 

The amazing thing about the Onions & Bacon was that they were INSIDE the hand formed hamburger patty!  The way the onions caramelized inside with the Bacon lent an amazing flavor to the delicious beef.  The burger was moist which makes for and amazing burger! 

Blue dog has an extremely friendly and helpful staff which you will need when choosing that perfect beer for you. I as you will soon find out am a HUGE fan of authentic cider.  I choose the only authentic English Pear Cider available in the United States…Sir Perry Pear Cider.  

It is without a doubt a very well refined cider.  It is not overly sweet and overflowing with a wonderful pallet.  This is my new favorite…Too bad I’ve only found it at Blue Dog Tavern.  I guess we’ll have to visit our friends more often!

Bottom Line…The one thing you can count on when you go to Blue Dog is you will have had great service, great meal and an excellent beer selection.


I give Blue Dog 3 Stars out 4...This is a must try for all you foodies!!!

In the beginning...There was Jamón Ibérico

So after many requests from my friends...I've decided to take my quest for the perfect Pata Negra, Burger, Chow Fun, Enchiladas, Paella, Sushi, Shawerma,  Teppanyaki, Albóndigas from Facebook to the Blog-osphere. Unfortunately every asshole with a laptop can and does write reviews...I'm hoping my take will be fresh and entertaining for my friends and family.  So please...Subscribe on the right hand side of the home page...They're many different ways to do so...Thanks!
