Metromix LA Blog

We're pathologically social. We're professional leisurists. We're burrito lovers, bar flies, art whores and music nerds. We dish the good dirt, and we'll risk a parking ticket for a cheap sample sale. Sometimes, we blog drunk.

Happy taco day


I took a little trip down to Pepe’s Mexican Food, or as I like to call it Pay-Payzzz, last week to officially seal the deal on my “no bikinis this summer” policy. Love handles be damned, I inhaled three shredded beef tacos without taking a single breath. Now Shane will be rolling his eyes at my little jibes regarding my weight after telling me yesterday “You're so skinny, it’s ridiculous” to which I responded “Yes but underneath my clothes, I’m floppy.” But I digress. The point, if there even is one, is that Pay-Payzzz is The. Best. Taco. Place. Ever. And it’s not just because the tacos are good (which they are. So, so good) but because with its outdoor-seating-only policy and drive-thru window Pepe’s is about as LA taco joint-ish as you can get. Case in point: Every time I go there, and I go there a lot, the possibility of a drive-by shooting crosses my mind. But then I take another bite of my fifth taco and think “Well, if that’s the way I’ve gotta go, at least I’ll go happy.”
