One More Taco Fan
Fresh Salsa, Guacamole and Chips at Tacos Por FavorTacos Por Favor has been written about on the L.A. food blogs quite a bit. Well, that's 
because 
it's a REALLY GOOD restaurant! I've been driving past this place for years, but had never eaten there until my office moved to Santa Monica. Now, it's one of my favorite places. We often have casual office birthday parties here.

I can't stress enough that the food is really fresh and they do not use lard!
The restaurant is very laid back. You have to wait in line to order and then pick up your order on a big, round plastic tray and take it to your table. There is a salsa bar
with lots of 
choices. It looks like they expanded into the space next door, because the dining area is quite large. The tables are mismatched and wooden, the walls are painted in bright colors. Usually, you'll see groups of local workers (office and trade) enjoying their tacos and burritos. I've even seen major film executives reading scripts at corner tables while munching on taquitos! On the counter, near the cash register there is a case of baked cookies. 
My knitster friend, Natalie turned me on to the sugar cookies. They are yummy! The prices are very reasonable and the owners are extremely friendly. It's a very comfortable place to eat.

the enchilada plate, caldo con pollo (delicious chicken soup/stew), hard tacos with chicken and of course, the salsa with guacamole and chips! They also carry the Penafiel brand of soft drinks....much tastier than our American soft drinks.

Oh yeah....also very important: Tacos Por Favor is within the vicinity of three great Santa Monica yarn shops (Yarns Unlimited, Stitches From The Heart and Wildfiber).

My favorite taco dive is El Gringo in Hermosa Bch.
