"A small Whittier Tex‑Mex emporium that serves the signature San Antonio–style puffy taco; the tiny, packed dining room is decorated with signed photos of Tejano musicians and local sports figures and attracts many expatriate Texans who pile their tables high. The puffy tacos (and a picadillo that one reviewer likened to terrine) are presented as homey, history‑laden comfort food rooted in a family lineage that traces back to the San Antonio originals." - Daniela Galarza
