potato tacos, or is it potato taquitos

[kevin]

i remember there was a joint or two, or perhaps three that serves these up and specializes in them, where to?

i could probably eat a few dozen of these, easy.

i guess it's basically mashed potatoes with a hint of peppers.

thanks.

Señor Fish has them, not rolled, but slightly crispy and with spicy onions with the mashed potatoes.

La Cabinita in Glendale has what I believe they call potato flautas, which are the crispier rolled variety.

And The Press all the way out here in Claremont has great rolled potato taquitos.

Love the ones at El Taco Nazo...

Tacomiendo on Pico near the 405 (right behind that giant lighthouse strip club) does excellent tacos de papa. they do them folded and also rolled up.

Ernie's Al Fresco - a catering truck that has been making the rounds at the Cal Tech campus for a long time. also supposedly the Pasadena Courthouse, Police Department. L.A. DWP and the Music Center. I think Potato Tacos are only available on Fridays.

I love them too! Lares in Santa Monica has some yummy ones. It's one of my favorite dishes there--they add a bit of seasoning to the potatoes too.

Try the potato taquitos as salsa and beer. Very crispy!

I was there earlier today and had my first potato taco -- struck me as nothing special but the fried taco shell was very tasty (light, crispy, and puffy). I bet they make great tortilla chips.

[Frommtron]

Yes! The ultimate delivery system for amazing salsa.

[JeetJet]

Maybe the reason it struck you as nothing special was because it was your first potato taco. At My Taco the flavor of the potato is "special" relaive to most other potato tacos. IMO, it is the flavor of chorizo. Man y other places it just seems to be mashed potato.

Tortas Ahogadas La Raza in North Hollywood has excellent tacos de papa.These aren't rolled, just regular tacos dorados.

CHRONIC TACOS.

Holy God are they good. And if you get them to put the cheese inside with the potatoes... ohhhhhhhh Lordy.

Another great potato taco is El Taco Nazo, if you can tear yourself away from the fish and shrimp tacos.

[kevin]

das, where's chronic tacos, and also what cheese do they put in there.

i just had one of loteria grill's mashed potato and rajas tacos and it was pretty good. along with the chiccharones de queso.

[Das Ubergeek]

Zillions of locations. www.eatchronictacos.com

The cheese is shredded Mexican blend and normally goes on top.

There goes the diet - fish, shrimp and potato, one of each!!!

don antonios has crispy potato tacos. and i think lares does too - but i'm not 100%, maybe check their website. both on pico in wla.

[a_and_w]

Not 100% sure, but I think Tacos Por Favor has them on the menu.

[RicRios]

Taco trucks downtown regularly carry potato tacos.
Or at least "my" troca.

[schrutefarms]

I have had them at Pink Taco in Vegas...They probably have them at the one in Culver city.

[Frommtron]

El Atacor #11 is well regarded (by me too) as is My Taco (haven't been yet).

I find that these are merely salsa delivery vehicles.

Taco Loco in Laguna Beach has (IMO) really good potato tacos
