[dropcap size=big]O[/dropcap]ur taco coverage is slowly creeping southwards into Sur Califas and beyond.

Catch our very own taco-eating dream team, Laura Tejeda (host) and Memo “Foollermo del Toro” Torres (Producer) in their latest “Hanging With Taqueros” video, sponsored by White Claw.

In what is definitely the best and funniest Hanging with Taqueros episode yet, Laura chilled and got to know the two vatos locos behind Tacos Los Cholos in Anaheim, including an unscripted “sock check” and an inside look into how they make their mesquite-grilled crispy tripas and “soft cuts” like shaved Prime-grade costilla tacos.

Suffice to say, their two locations are definitely worth bookmarking to check out next time you are in La Naranja.
