Mexican is really popular up here North in the Bay Area too. Tons of restaurants, from tiny hole-in-the-wall grease pits, to regular mom-n-pop to large franchise style.
Yeah, same here. It's great. Within a mile radius of me right now there's like 4 good sit down mexican restaurants, and probably over a dozen hole in the wall places.
It's even crazier near my GF's house. She lives in an area with a very large hispanic population and there's like two mexican food places in every strip mall. But the best mexican food I've had over there is from a food truck that parks behind a dumpster in this sketchy neighborhood. It's incredible. People who work there can't even speak english.

Food trucks can be great. One of the best tacos I've had was/is from a truck.
Say hello to your GF from me.

Speaking of cooking, I'm now a firm believer that a quality cut of steak is best cooked in a well seasoned iron skillet using the fat trimmings as the oil and then flash cooking/basting with a bit of butter and a tad of rosemary at the end. Crispy on the outside; medium to medium-rare on the inside.Before I would just BBQ all meats. How wrong I was.
