I recently tried Del Taco for the first time the other day and I think that might just be the best chain restaurant ever to exist. Its like Taco Bell but the quality is insanely higher and the prices are somehow lower, you can you get a half pound breakfast burrito for like 2 dollars. Another pro restaurant would be Taco Cabana down in Texas. Theres also a mexican place down in San Antonio that is open 24/7 serves pizza and breakfast all day and has frozen margarita machines ready to go all day I wish I could remember the name.

suggest some good mexican places to try bonus points if you can come up with a place between central california and the bay area

If I want to eat cheap I'll go to DT. Most Alberto's in So Cal are pretty good with a few exceptions. Molcasalsa in La Habra has the best super fries you have ever had.

Correct that DT is not pro tier. It's for poors like me.

Coming from a part of the country where all we had for mexican food was taco bell makes del taco seem supreme. Albertos and Robertos are both really good too I used to get confused which is which when I lived in socal

I used to live near a restaurant called "taco of the town". It was pretty good when it was opened. It has the weirdest hours ever.

Doobie opened another restaurant?

The 24 hour pizza and mex place is Chacho's. I only go there when drunk but it's pretty decent. There are lots of good Mexican food places in SA. There's this one place with a big banner that has Guy Fireri's dumb face that claims to have the best tacos in America. They don't even have the best tacos in a 5 mile radius. So basically I hate Guy Fireri.

gently caress yea thats the place

I know I've posted this before at some point but Del Taco is hilarious. I used to do tech support for their POS systems (Point of Sale, not Piece of poo poo but it's pretty synonymous).

A single register that doubles a the back of house computer and the owners never pay for a service contract so you have to charge them for support. The giant "ADD MEAT" button in the center of the POS display always amused me. What kind of meat? Who can say. Just more of it. Confused owner, confused patrons... It's just a bizarre franchise.

For legit content about good Mexican food/border food, just look for the sketchiest place you can find. The weirder, the better. The places come and go, but use your sense of smell. You should smell roasted peppers, lard, and beans. If the air isn't permeated with that smell and if the booths aren't sticky, don't go there.

Sometimes you run into a good Oaxacan place (totally different than Tex-Mex) but those are few and far between in my neck of the woods. There used to be a really good one in Virginia MN but they're long gone. They were hidden in the basement of an office building and had no signage. Best tacos ever. Best Tomatillo salsa ever. It was run by a guy who had gotten married to get a Green Card.

what the gently caress are you saying
