SANTA BARBARA: La Super-Rica!

Julia Child's favorite taco stand, located on an unassuming street corner off the US101 Freeway.  'Sup Julia Child, you know una cosa o dos about tacos.  Taking into consideration the plethora of taco stands in Southern California, this Jalisco style taqueria is exceptionally good.  It is so good that when my coworkers and I were driving up to Santa Barbara to work a catering event at LotusLand gardens, and we heard the truck bringing the ingredients up from Los Angeles overheated, all we could think was: we now have time to get tacos at La Super-Rica!  This transcendental mexican cuisine put us in a state of pure bliss, as we devoured our hand-made, fresh tortillas smothered with grilled marinated meats, gooey queso, roasted poblanos, avocado cream sauce, and salsa.  For a brief taco-filled moment, our minds were happily diverted from the nightmare of a catering event that lay ahead.  
Señora mixing, pressing, and grillin corn tortillas.  Señor grillin pasilla peppers and marinated pork.
Daily Special: Tamale de Verduras.  Freshly made tamale stuffed with squash, corn, and chilis, served with a cream sauce. (weekend special)
