Good point.

IMHO the best reefers are served by the breakfast taco joint down the
street in their breakfast tacos.

I've watched them make them. They take a potato masher to a batch of
cooked and chili spiced pinto beans and serve them direct.

My #1 favorite order from them is a bean and bacon with cheese. The
bacon mixed in with the beans is chunky and the cheese is American.

I've not had one in months but this thread is challenging my restraint.
<sigh>

I'm more likely to cheat with their Saturday Barbacoa tho'.

Or Los Gallos DAILY Barbacoa with cheese, minus that damned overly
thick flour tortilla they serve! They will serve the stuffing in a
takeout container with a fork for those low carbing.

Their sausage, egg and cheese mix is tempting too...

I often used to get one of the Los Gallos breakfast tacos on my way to
the range on Saturday morning. It's quiet there and if I get there
early, I can't shoot until it's full daylight with my annual
membership, so I sit and listen to the birds while the sun comes up,
listen to talk radio and eat my breakfast.

I have the entire pistol range to myself that time of morning so can
practice stuff that is otherwise dangerous with other shooters present.
:-)

Good practice for IDPA.
