Taco Night @ The Golden State
Last Monday Mexicali Taco Co and The Golden State came together for a night of tacos and beer. It was a great collaboration to be able to have the tacos, vampiros and cachetadas of Mexicali Taco Co in the comfortable environment of The Golden State and wash the great food down with their excellent selection of craft beers. There are rumors that this may become a regular thing. Count my vote in the Yes column.
Mexicali Taco Co is found at the intersection of 1st & Beaudry on Wednesday - Saturday evenings.

Mexicali Taco & Co - Carne Asada in DTLA
Recently I was speaking with Bill Esparza of StreetGourmetLA and he was raving about a carne asada specialist in DTLA and I was intrigued. I went to the corner of First & Beaudry two times before I figured out that Mexicali Taco & Co is on twitter and is only open Wednesday - Saturday from 8 - 11 pm, although check twitter because they are not yet consistent in the days they are there.
The third time was the charm and I got to Mexicali as they were finishing setting up. They operate in a tent in a parking lot on the corner. I was the first customer but by the time that they were ready to begin serving, there was a line. Based on their twitter feed they sell out every night they are open, so come early or go home hungry.
The tacos are $2 a pop, and they are worth the premium above the $1.25 standard. They offer both corn and flour tortillas and they are handmade. I got two carne asada tacos, one each with corn and flour. Several different salsas were available as well as pickled radishes. The tacos were delicious and had a real beefy flavor.
The tacos are served on real plates covered in a plastic wrap. All in all it was a pleasant quality experience and I will go back for sure. Bill has some more details and photos on his writeup here.
Mexicali Taco & Co is located on 1st & Beaudry in a tent on Wednesday - Saturday. It is open from 8 - 11 pm (technically til midnight but based on their twitter feed they sell out by 11 every night). They have developed quite a following as all the customers who were there when I checked it out had driven to their location specifically to get the tacos.
