A tip like that is NEVER off topic! No, I’ve never tried it, and hadn’t even noticed, even though I drive that stretch all the time. Will check it out. Thanks for the tip!

This may be slightly off-topic, but have you ever eaten at Mariscos La Buena Vida at 1308 Lake (just below Washington)? The place is a total dive, but the ceviche is wonderful and although I am not an authority on fish tacos, I really like theirs a lot. Everything I have tasted has been light and delicious. The last time I was there I saw an iced platter of oysters on the half-shell go by with a “cubeta” of Cervesas that made me wish I was there with a group of friends. . . .

Right, I guess our point was more that the original little yellow place (which I loved) has closed, and it’s focused on the newer one.

This “new” location on Lake and Villa has probably been open for about a year. They tried to name themselves “Hugo’s Tacos” originally, but I think they ran into a problem with the REAL Hugo’s Tacos. The food has not changed since they opened, so I think it’s always been El Taquito Mexicano. Before they opened the building, they existed in the parking lot as a taco truck for about another 6 months previous.
