I was raised on Mexican food and have always been disappointed since leaving Bakersfield. La Mina Restaurant, with three locations serves the best crunchy tacos I've ever had. Eat at the restaurant and you will be greeted by Mr. Personality (Carlos) who will seat you at a colorful table where you are serenaded by two beautiful musicians.

Most importantly is the food. No need for salsa my friends because La Mina serves spicy (not hot) food with plenty of flavor. Check them out next time you are on your way to LA.
