Dayum! They had fallen off my radar for awhile. Got a wild hair and stopped in today for a fajita/pico/guac.

I'd forgotten how big that damn thing is!

Rolando's a definite SA staple. The one of hildebrand is the only one I've been to. They're all a little different. Don't recall is that's the #1 place. It may be cuz rolando was always there. I remember when I took a friend of mine from out of town there and he ordered two. I kept my mouth shut. :lol

I got the beef. It wasn't as good as my flash grilled fajitas but it was pretty good.

It's about a foot long and as big around as a beer can.





The taco, pervert.

If you want a badass burrito that's also enormous and you're in LA, El Tepeyac is the place to be.

Yeah, that's the business...

But Alberto's is a place that can be found in safer parts of L.A.

If you're scared, then get a dog. Seriously, it's not too bad of a neighborhood. I took the MTA out there a couple of times and never had a problem, as well as driving out there at night.

Naw I'm not scared, but more cautious after a King Taco visit once nearly left us in the path of peril. Ain't no burrito worth gettin' mistakened for. But you're right, it isn't in that bad of an area, just a tad bit further from Long Beach than I would like to traverse.

The reason I haven't been there in years is because they have weird hours (if I remember correctly). They close at like 2 or something like that (or at least used to).
