2021 Yelp 100 Challenge (89/100)
OTM Club 10/10/21 - 10/16/21
One of the reasons why I kept my OTM Club membership is the discovery of hidden gems that I wouldn't necessarily find on my own accord. Like this one... LAX Tacos.
Located in a non-descript part of Inglewood, this restaurant serves up a concentrated menu of your Mexican favorites: tacos, burritos, sopes, quesadillas, tortas mulitas, tostadas.
This week's curated dish is a CALIFORNIA BURRITO (carne asada, french fries, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa); I choose carne asada as my protein. And if you're a OTM Club member, you also get a 10% discount on additional purchases at the time of redemption. =)
There are 6' social distancing markers, & a 1-way entry to exit to keep patrons safe; the small dining room is also spaced out with plenty of room to roam without bumping into others; there's also a couple of outdoor patio options to enjoy the outdoors (though there's not much of a view); hand sanitizer is available at the order window, & staff wore masks. Parking is available, but limited. Maybe 10 spots?
The restaurant seems more fast-casual than fast food, yet they have a drive-thru. And LAX Tacos is fast! I got my ginormously phat burrito in a couple of minutes. And it's bigger than my hand! Wowza!! For comparison, I always thought Chipotle has the biggest burrito in town. Nope, this one was enough to serve 2 people, yet you're still full. The burrito's carne asada was tender & flavorful, loaded with fries, melted cheese, cool & creamy sour cream, dollops of guacamole for that Cali-style, & salsa for that Mexican heat to make a most tasty & satisfying lunch!
Fast, fast service with a smile, LAX Tacos can whipped it all up quick! They expedited 2 more orders in minutes while I snapped the regulatory pics for social media. ;-) Prices are cheap, considering the sizable portions. You definitely get the bang for your buck here.
Definitely an unexpected find in Inglewood... this hidden gem is worth a visit. This LAX Tacos freebie was ripe for celebrating the Hispanic Heritage Month. ¡Muy delicioso!
