DEATHWATCH: Don Tonos' reign of terror is over + 411 on "dive" Mexican Restaurants

This entry I share a secret about ordering at "dive" Mexican restaurants in Los Angeles. What is a dive? Well, a dive is term usually to describe a bar that is dark, dank, and cheap. Not to say "dives" are bad but you should be fully cognizant of what you are getting into (and pay special attention to that dept of health rating!).  


But some dives, are indeed a nightmare.  Enter, Don Tonos Tacos of Santa Monica Blvd a few steps away from Motherlode.  This taco shack that had a beautiful mural painting of Mexico on its wall couldn't serve as pleasant of meals.  Especially, American Tex-Mex favorites.  Onward to sweeping generalizations!

  1. I love your blog, but you've been extra quiet lately. I hope you haven't given it up for good (or ill). By the way would you consider following the blog of an Irish music journalist called Alan Whiteman?

    I'm thinking you could tell him useful stuff about the west coast music scene. Love, Alec xx

  3. Alex, have we ever been to el Gran Burrito? I can't recall, since it has been while since the last time we hang out around my neighborhood.
    I know that you've become a West Hollywood addict by now, but if you want real Mexican food, you should try a meal there. Maybe you could join Jojo and I sometime after coffee
