Okay......so February is "Taco" month......and we started at Burrito Express in Lakewood.
For those of you that are taco aficionados.....you know that a good taco has shredded beef..not ground....has a freshly fried shell....not a preformed shell....and if it is a really good taco.....you will get a freshly fried shell...while the shredded beef is inside.
Burrito Express is a small establishment...and has a drive-thru for ordering...or picking up a phone order. Inside, they have small booths.....with really fascinating art work depicting life in Mexico.

Hot from the fryer, the tacos smelled terrific.
They have 2 types of sauce, which you can pick up at the order counter.......green (verde) and red (rojo). We tried both, and really did not have a favorite. Both hot sauces complimented the tacos taste.
For drinks, Burrito Express has the normal soft drinks, but they also offer traditional flavored drinks from Mexico....Horchata, Mango, Jamaica and Pina.
While we ordered shredded beef in our tacos, you can also get carne asada, fish, carnitas, spicy chicken, grilled chicken, ground beef, and lengue (beef tongue).

We were there only for the tacos, but they also offer a full menu of delicious Mexican food.......including Tortas..which are actually hard to find.
This is truly a great find for people who love, locally owned, freshly made, great Mexican food.
