Mas Tacos Por Favor!

One of the greatest things about living in LA is there are many many burger joints and Mexican food places around. Seriously, just throw a rock and you'll hit one or two of them.

Just about every type of Mexican food is unsettling to my stomach, but with Poquito Mas - no problems. They use fresh ingredients and cook to order. They are also very proportioned when it comes to size of meal. I can usually eat a plate and be full.

The Poquito Mas nearest our place in Studio City

The "usual" for me is the Chicken Tostada with a good mixture of beans, lettuce, chicken, cheese and sour cream. The shell is amazing and is completely worth the calories.

Some other great dishes are their tacos, burritos, enchiladas, or really anything on the menu. I appreciate their general cheery demeanor while ordering. At the two stores we eat at, we have never really had a problem with the service in any way.

The first time I actually ate at one of these was on the Warner Brothers lot. While interning I was able to go eat at the commissary where they had a small Poquito Mas. It was were I first fell in love with their down-to-Earth Mexican cooking.

If you're ever in the area, let's go out to eat here sometime. You will not regret it.

There is one in Burbank and one in Studio City. The Studio City one is off of the 101 (Lankershim Exit).
Totally worth it.
