It was all Tex=Mex loaded with queso>They were successful in showing the locals good regional food from south of the border. Their LA one called Hot Tacos will sell tacos, taco bowls and quesadillas, It will be reasonably priced with a steak bowl going for eleven dollars.They also have celebrated other Mexican immigrants by supporting them when they've opened up their own eateries.
