Three Brothers Tacos in East Palo Alto, California
Happy Halloween Everyone!
Although not technically a restaurant, this well-known taqueria is well worth the trip to East Palo Alto. Three Brothers Tacos, located in my hometown of East Palo Alto, California, has been around since I was a child (a testament to their good food!). Originally located where the exit to Ikea now stands, the taqueria is now located on University Avenue, in the heart of "EPA".
My favorite dish is the "Torta al Pastor" or "Sandwich, Shephard Style." What makes this torta unique, is it's fresh ingredients including a substantial serving of avocado (my favorite fruit. Yes, it's a fruit.) You can find other dishes at Three Brothers that are unique to the gastronomy of Michoacan, a Mid-Western state in Mexico. These dishes include Morisqueta (pork over rice with beans and chili), and enchiladas, Michoacan style (tortillas fried in tomato sauce with fried potatoes and chicken on the side, sprinkled with fresh grated cheese.)
If you are in a hurry, Three Brothers Tacos also has a taco truck (pictured above) that is always parked on the corner of Bay Road and Pulgas Avenue during business hours.
