Phil and Patty’s July 3rd Jam ~ Long Beach

11:00 AM PDT on July 4, 2006

Taqueria de Anda ~ 300 W. Valencia ~ Fullerton

There's only one thing that can improve an LBC beach party that's livened up by fifty-something white people who do that zany, jerky dance of their's...TACOS!!!

So it was that Phil and Patty's 10th annual July 3rd party was catered by Long Beach's impeccable taco chain Taqueria de Anda. Phil and Patty certainly know how to throw a jam for family, friends, little ones and a smattering of crashers.

In addition to a high potency tiki bar and the Elm Street Band, masters of beach ballads from Buffet to Sam Philips, the tacos were in full effect. All the miniature tacos presented by the chicos of La Anda were juicy and delicious, from a barbecue-doused pastor to the solid asada and moist carnitas. Thanks to Poppa Phil and Mama Patty for having TACO and more importantly, having tacos.

LAPD Officers Watched a Nearly $1 Million Metro Bus Get Lit On Fire. Why Didn’t They Do Something?

On social media, people were quick to criticize fans that participated in the celebrations. But few people questioned why the LAPD, a public agency with an annual budget of over $3 billion, stood around and waited until the bus was on fire before they did something. Or why the city wasn’t better prepared to handle public celebrations considering the same exact thing happened three years ago when the Dodgers won the World Series (again).

A ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ Star Looks Back On Filming at Evergreen Cemetery in Boyle Heights After 40 Years

“I remember driving early in the morning, in the dark, to get to the cemetery,” says Heather Langenkamp, who played Nancy. “I remember thinking to myself, 'I’ve never been over here, but I’ve heard that there’s really great tacos over here on Soto. Robert Englund was such a foodie. He probably told me that the best food in town was over there.”
