I've been to zero. Wish I could make a take-out food trip to California one day.

Yay! My first job that I got for myself by asking, was at an El Taco near our house in Nashville, TN. The owner, Mr Chaires, was a Mexican American from southern Arizona, who had settled in Nashville after he quit the Army in Ft Campbell. He was always recruiting other Mexican American army retirees to invest their GI Bill money in a franchise. His large family, from teenagers to toddler, were often there, the older ones working various shifts, and the youngest (nicknamed "Vroom Vroom"

I’m in Nashville- when was it there? I haven’t heard of this place. I see now that he is the owner of Rosepeppers? Or an owner? I will have to pay attention next time I go as there is old el taco wall decor in there.

@@lpnffchick It's gone, replaced by a gas station, last time I saw. It could be a highrise condominimum by now. It was in Inglewood, out Gallatin Road, just before you get to Briley Parkway: between Richmond and Haysboro. It was just past the muffler shop (?) and the grocery store, which I think is now a great produce market (or was?), owned by an SDA family, just before Haysboro and the convenience store (once 7-11, then Circle K...). I wish they were still in town! The restaurant on Eastland, Rosepeppers Cantina, was started by his oldest son, Ernie, who has recently passed: RIP. I think other menbers of the family are involved. Ernie was a nice guy when I worked there. But supposedly, the green chile at Rosepeppers Cantina is the same, but a lot more expensive.

Love hitting these old-school joints. So great seeing SoCal getting back to normal, albeit slowly. Fun times Adam!

Loving this new series! Food with a history lesson.

I loved El Taco growing up in San Leandro. I didn't know there were any left. I think your series is a hoot. Always enjoy your segments. It's a very creative idea in these very strange times. Thanks for the fun, Adam. 😃

I remember the El Taco on 17th in Costa Mesa back in the early 70s Went to it all the time. Thanks for great memories your Wooness! 🌮🌯🌮🥙🚴‍♂️🚶‍♂️🤗

Love those beautiful canna lily flowers in front of the establishment!

Much respect to you that you acknowledged Taco Tia. I was a kid in the 50s when my family regularly trekked there-in Redlands-for Taco Tuesday. Fond memories.

👍👏👏 yay, tables instead of standing next to a dumpster like yesterday.

Ok now we're craving good ol' original Mexican!

Hey Adam, I used to make signs for this location as well as the San Pedro location in the 1990s. There is or if isn't there anymore was a Sign O Rama sign company in the strip center next to the El Taco and I worked there from 1993 - 1995. As you mentioned in this vlog, great food there at both locations. I ate there a many lunches while working for the sign company and dinners to take home after work. I changed many of the prices and added items on that old brown menu sign that is pealing of paint and falling apart. They are made of 029 gauge steel and the new lighted menu they have now wasn't there in the early 90s. In it's place was the same steel menus, you showed in your video, They must have taken them down for a lighted more modern type of sign.

Happy 🌮 Sunday. 😄 What a cool looking building. That was nice you guys were able 2 actually sit at a table. Not stand by dumpster. 😉 The food looked delicious. So did the orange drink. Kinda reminded me of Orange Julius. Thank you 4 letting tag along. Have a blessed rest of your holiday weekend. 🇺🇸💕⚘

My local El Taco turned into an optometrist (The one on Euclid he mentioned)

I remember when payphones were 1 dime for a call. I used to live in Orange County and passed this establishment up a many times but never been to it.

I am enjoying all the restaurant reviews! Awesome!

We love you Adam! You are so genuine and kind. You have made this unprecedented time so much easier to handle. We really look forward to your videos. Stay safe and keep filming. 🎬

Love your reviews, reflecting on the SoCal nostalgia of various eateries. How bout a review of the pink hot dog eatery by one of the studios. I understand this is quite a famous eatery. Shall you!!

I’m with you on those light fixtures. So cool! To me that’s what really defines old school Southern California. Old yellow florescent lights, right out of the 70’s.

YES!!! Great video, I feel like a kid again, we used to go to the Downey one, I was super little then. This was so cool!

I remember this when I lived in Pedro. Thank you for the memories.

You reminded me of a childhood experience. My parents had just moved to California. We were driving down La Cienaga Blvd. in Los Angeles in 1961 and I saw a sign that said "Tacos .19 cents". My Father's buddy, who was showing us around, said, "Oh, that's a greasy Mexican food with meat on a corn shell". That was my trigger. I proceeded to get car sick and hurled my cookies all over the back seat. That was the first time I ever heard of Tacos.

Keep it going forever. There’s numerous place I want to go that you have visited. You make it fun and adventurous. Good job 👍🏽😆

Loving seeing all these places that have been around for such a long time. El Taco has a lot of good looking food. Your burrito looked so good and Jason’s enchiladas looked really good too. The orange drink looked so good and refreshing. I’m totally loving these food series. I could watch them indefinitely. It was nice that y’all got to sit and eat in the shade despite it being windy. Can’t wait to see what’s next 😊👍👍

Wow! That all looked so delicious! I love this series of food spots. I'm trying to keep notes of them all in case we get to go out to California again. Thanks, Adam!

Oh how we appreciate the simple things in life now, a table to eat your lunch at!! Cheers Adam

These daily restaurant videos have helped me keep my sanity, thank you Adam!

Keep up the good work. Totally enjoyable.

I love history and I for one am enjoying your series. Your commentary cracks me up man.

Omg Woo, didn’t know El Taco was still around. I remember when tacos and burritos were 15 cents each, now that’s making me feel really old!

Loving this series! 🤗

Love it. I like the super-structure on the roof. And the foil container is awesome.

Adam, these restaurant videos are a blast from my past. I use to eat at the places you're visiting. I no longer reside in California, but these places are near and dear to my heart because my childhood revolved around going to them all. A Los Angeles based restaurant chain I use to go to which I HIGHLY recommend is Ramona's Mexican Food (Restaurant). Their main take out only location is on Western Ave near Rosecrans in the city of Gardena, California south of the 105 fwy. --That's also where their distribution factory is (their canned refried beans and packaged burritos are sold at 7eleven), and they've got restaurant locations all over LA available as take out only. Just as Disney has produced fans that are Disneyland addicts, Ramona's also has addicts. Ask any LA native where the nearest Ramona's restaurant is and I GUARANTEE they'll tell you where it is and they'll rant and rave about it to you. *Their first location is located in South Central Los Angeles at 69th Street and San Pedro. Their take on Mexican cuisine is authentic Sonoran, and far from Americanized. You'll love them. When you go, expect a long line. Regardless of the pandemic, people will still wait in line at all of Ramona's locations including the one on San Pedro which typically wraps around the building. They are takeout only and don't do deliveries. Their food is so worth the wait. Their signature menu items are their Bean and Cheese burritos especially (request add rice, red sauce and Green onions), and also their Taquitos (Beef or Chicken) with Guacamole and sour cream. Their portion sizes are larger at their restaurants than you'll find at 7 eleven stores. You'll get more for your money at their Restaurants. Trust me Adam, you will absolutely LOVE Ramona's. Another LA restaurant chain I loved back in the day is The Habit burger restaurants Btw, The current way I eat also recommends local Vegan franchises based in L.A. such as VeggieGrill (which has many locations all over LA) and Doomies which is a growing franchise. VeggieGrill and Doomies have locations near your old homestead in Hollywood and are phenomnomnomenal!

Awesome video keep em coming Adam !

Oh wow! I used to hit this place up all the time for breakfast tacos when I lived nearby. Glad it's still there. I did notice the unique building shape of it, but now I know what it was thanks to your vid 👍

Such memories! When our family came back to visit other relatives in Cali, we had dined atvEl Taco. And probably the one on Euclid, as it was close to where family lived. Having been born in that area, lived a short time, it still holds fond images of us enjoying food and family!. I wouldn't be surprised if we had stopped at this very same El Taco as well!

Dude you have so many great places to eat in your area and the food looks amazing. I would be in food heaven. Loving this series and real glad you are still vlogging. Stay safe and much love.

Love these Adam, I am loving the Taco Bell history, loved Taco Tia but have since transplanted out of CA and into Tax Free Florida. Taco Tia was a staple in high school growing up in the Inland Empire and there is one left in Redlands and I have to get there, like a turtle needs to get to the Gulf. Thank you for the history, we'll be in So Cal to catch up on real food while staying at the beach for a couple of weeks. Thank you again.

Every time I watch these I get really hungry and crave some of what you’re eating Adam 🤣 great one 👍🏻

I see you saved a spot for me right there in the middle! Thanks!

I got a laugh when you talked about the "wooden planks" that the rooftop sign was on. That was known as PECKY CEDAR back in the late 60's-70's. It was plentiful, it was cheap, and it gave that earthy appearance that was so popular in the 1970's! It looks awful when you paint it without filling the holes! Glad to see the place is still up and running. Last time I was there, it sat out in the open and it wasn't hidden behind those newer structures.

Absolutely lovin this Woo to go series! 🌮 😷 ♥

"Throw a rock in any direction" At the south end of that shopping mall is a super great hole in the wall. Tacos Los Reyes. You were a one minute walk from some of the best carne asada in the county. Last time I went to el taco, they were mixing their beans in a paint bucket with an electric drill. Love the history, nostalgic menu, but hit Tacos Jalisco 1 mile or so north on Walnut. With love, great channel.

Love the Star Wars reference. "Quite operational"
