Taqueria Las Torres Brings Good Cheap Food to 6th Ave

$2.99 for a burrito, $4.50 for a huge taco plate with rice and beans (pictured).  

Finally, another recession-friendly restaurant on 6th Ave.  I use the term restaurant loosely, of course, since Taqueria Las Torres is actually a taco truck using an old check cashing storefront for indoor seating.  The day I ate there last week, nobody seemed to mind the decor.  

Taqueria Los Amigos

After hiding from the heat and humidity at Odyssey 1 yesterday afternoon, the kids and I took a long ride out to South Tacoma Way with the windows down, enjoying the cool breeze that finally blew in and swept away the creeping ickiness (I believe that is the technical term) that had made us cranky all weekend.

Witness this, the give the people what they want taco:

Platanos Burros

Yeah, that's right. Donkey Bananas.

Anahuac Restaurant

Reader Submitted. Thank you!

FYI: Not a recommendation

Here is my blow-by-blow of Anahuac.

The atmosphere was non-existent—actually, insulting. The mock-Mayan pyramid, the fake flowers, the poor sound system.

Masa (63 Good Days in Tacoma)

I like this place much better without the night time "hot spot" crowd. I stopped in for lunch on Tuesday and Masa won me over.

La Fondita (99 Good Days in Tacoma)

Proctor's little hole in the wall Mexican restaurant recently expanded into the space next door and is looking really good these days. It's always been a cute place, but the homey terra cotta red walls and Frida Kahlo/Diego Rivera artwork really make the place feel special.

Despite our best efforts, we seem to have produced in one of our children that most dreaded of characteristics: the picky eater. Miss Picky Pants, as we like to call her, has sat through more than one restaurant meal with one or two beige items on her extra plate (we've learned not to actually purchase food for her) pretending to eat them while using them as ketchup shovels.
