Marix West Hollywood - Pitcher of margaritas - $22. Unlimited tacos - $8.99. Eye Candy - Free. Marix is always busy, but on Taco Tuesday the line is out the door. They offer chicken, beef, and carnitas with their unlimited taco deal on Tuesday. My final thoughts - stay with the chicken, and… six tacos is three too many.

Without chili powder, chili con carne would just be beef stew, and the world would be a duller place. It is to Texas what peanut butter is to jelly: you can’t think of one without the other.

Hardy’s Meat Market / M&M Market - I know it’s not a taco stand, but great tacos have to start somewhere. Romeo has been the butcher here for 25 years and now he’s my butcher too. Sure it may cost a few bucks more than the major supermarket, but the meat is the best I’ve bought. They have everything from meaty baby back ribs, to brisket, tri tip, lamb, ny strip, chicken, turkey, sausage, and prepared enchiladas, tamales, and salsa. When I buy from Hardy’s I know that my money is going directly to benefit Romeo and his employees. Check it out at the corner of Moorpark and Coldwater in Studio City. If you are around at lunch time they also make the best sandwiches in the valley… turkey meatloaf, bbq brisket, rotisserie chicken.
