Home is Where the Vallart is!

   Sometimes, the best things in this world are the things we're most comfortable with. That old scratchy record, a comfortable blanket, or maybe it comes in the form of the old neighborhood Taqueria. Well, I can say Taqueria Vallarta is about a comfortable as a worked in pair of shoes....uuuuuh well, not too apetizing. Now, hear me out. Detracters will say "BB....why would you go THERE of all places?" Its hard to argue, but sometimes you just dont want to venture too far from the nest.  My latest voyage was for the loving arms of the Carne Asada Supremo. I've been a fan of Vallarta since they opened on Soquel Ave in Santa Cruz during my freshmen year of college. When they opened up a Pleasure Point location, a certain roomate of mine dined there every night for 2 weeks. A regular SuperSize Me, Mexican Style! I gotta say, I found my visit satisfying. The price is right, the Carne is cooked perfectly and the chips and salsa are dolled out free and easy.  While not blowing my socks off, I can say that I tend to get a good quality gut bomb burrits' that does the trick when you've skipped 2 meals and just want to make up for lost time.

The Wrap: Location = 3 Right next to Shoppers Corner, good parking and right in da hood. Price = 2 Around six dollars. Authenticity = 2 The Carne Asada is diced and cooked thick, nothing special but never too dry like other would be Taquerias in the area.
