Day One High Grade Mex on White Oak and Vanowen

Today we went to Salsa and Beer on the corner of White Oak and Vanowen in the San Fernando Valley.

Our friends from Argentina alerted us to this place, we went there a few weeks ago and it was a powerful moment. Everything is outstanding, the bean dip is fantastic and the seafood is as good as Cabo's. Enough talk here are the pix...


Very colorful and popular with the locals.






NA got the fish tacos, most excellent. Real fish too. It slows down the order, we think they cook these to order.




Next up comes the Asada - RD and HD did some serious work on these. Huge portions of the highest grade.




RC went out of band with the nachos plate. Amazing presentation, the guac here is first rate, but we keep scraping the bottom of those bean dip bowls and asking for more.



Finally their "wet burrito". I prefer dry but this is how they do it. No black beans offered, you either go pinto or none. Pintos are a serious challenge to my overloaded digestive system so I go sans.

No fooling around - if you want a wet burrito - this is the wet burrito you want.

So that's it for today - check back in tomorrow for more valley lunch adventures.

  1. Good to see the Gator back on the prowl for notable culinary delights. Will we see another "heart of darkness" or maybe this time a "great november of the soul" search for peppers that would eat the hull off any ship.
