The still did not have the corn tortillas on the menu and they did not have them written in either, but I was able to order them. Hi Dan,

Good tacos all over the place here. You were brave to undertake a crawl that led to such less than terrific experiences. Gosh, I’m glad I live in Los Angeles. Good tacos all over the place here.

He was cooking soft flour ones to order. And I didn't note them on the menu - perhaps they stopped carrying them.... Didn't try either the guacamole at TB or the cheese at La Fabrica, so can't say.

The only times I had crunchy ones were when the whole taco was fried and you had to pick out the toothpick holding it all together. When I went to the Taco Box, I asked them if they could make me a regular Margarita and they said no, they only made the frozen kind so I just went with beer. One other thing that I did not like at all was their guacamole. I really dislike the puree variety where it is all creamy without any chunks of tomato, onion, etc. That is also what I got and I just don´t like it that way. At la Fabrica, they did have corn tortillas. On the menu´s they were handwritten in and "new" next to them so it was a new item for them. Maybe you got a menu that they did not write that into? Just to clarify, I also do not like the cheese on the tacos at La Fabrica. I always order them without it. Hi Dan,
