They all have a vastly different vibe I couldnāt pick just one. None of these are my pictures I sourced from Google Mapsā¦ there is ābetterā Mexican food in my hometown but these are some of my most beloved dive-y spots
* Lucyās Coffee Shop ā family-owned Mexican diner started in 1972. Their breakfast is their bestā¦ I want machaca now š * Chicoās Tacos ā ICONIC CULTURAL INSTITUTION. Disgusting greasy fried rolled tacos served in a watery tomatoey salsa bath with neon yellow plastic grated cheese on top * Kikiās Mexican Restaurant ā wood-paneled hole-in-the-wall established 1976, housed in an old adobe building nestled up against the mountain. Their chips and salsa and their gorditas are so good Iām feeling ravenous now š

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebodyābe it a relative or one of my best friendsāwas to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too š
