Growing up in San Diego, and living all my childhood life on Roberto's Taco shop...........I have a craving for a Carne Asada Burrito and 3 rolled taco's. OMG! I'm soooo addicted to it, being in LA the closest Roberto's is in Fullerton. I've made the 60 mile drive before.......120 round trip for my burrito. What's the furthest you've driven to feed your addiction?

Hahah.......I had a serious need for it one day, so I called one the Roberto's down in Diego, and asked where the closest one was. I can't remember the name of the exit.......I just know how to get there. From LA take the 5 South to the the 2nd exit before Disney. Go left.......for about 2 miles cross the train tracks, and turn right on (College I think). It's half a block on your left.......make a U turn and you are there!

Absolutely, we used to just hit it up everytime we went to the Forum for Lakers & Kings games before going to Staples.
For all of you Roberto's fans, try Alberto's, from the way you said Rolled Tacos instead of Taquitos, they might just be the same. Maybe brothers.

Try moving from San Diego to TN! When I was commuting I would drive up off the 91 in CA for Sonic..it was the closest thing for a craving from TN. Now that I am in TN full time I just booked a flight for Dec 20-26th... besides Christmas we are gonna have good mexican food 3 times a day. Damn I miss it!

I could Fed-Ex you a couple of burritos if it helps. Do you want hot carrots and salsa with that?

jdogg, I tell you waht, I'm 15 minutes from the closest Roberto's, I'll go there for lunch and have a Carne Asada Buritto, the rolled Tacos and the Chicken Quesadilla for you by proxy. I'll report back later how it was...

Oh man, that was the best location. I don't understand why OC doesn't have taco shops like SD does. There's just as many mexi's here (not meant to offend) Any one ever go to Los Dos on Turqiouse and La Jolla Blvd. Mmmmmm, the king burrito!!!! Yummers!!!!

We're going down to Laughlin at the end of the month just so we can have Chinese food and In-N-Out. We justfied the expense by agreeing to stop in Vegas to do wedding research. :notam: :D

Can you feel what I'm thinking??? :devil: If one of the mail/package carriers could do a 4 hour delivery I would do it. It's a 4 hour flight.... I just dont see that happening.
It's ok..only 4 more weeks and I'll be enjoying it myself.....

Go hit up PEPE'S in Placintia. Go 57 north to Orangethorpe west to Placentia North and it's about 3 blocks up. Good Mexi food and they play 80's modern rock tunes. Strange mix but good food. :p

That is funny. So did I. I went to the one in Glendora although I usually go to Azusa where the atmosphere makes it more authentic. I got the three rolled tacos with guacomole to go along with it too.

We got great burritos here in town. So, I think if In N Out were to open a store in Medford or Grants Pass (about 3 hours away) I would make the trip. They just opened up a Del Taco across the river in Vancouver, WA and that is about 25-30 miles away from me.
