South (Tacoma) of the border

Rest-review-article-4_2 ANNOUNCER: The month of April is special to the boys. Not for sports reasons, but it reminds them of their boisterous youth and of spring break. Jake fondly recalls a spring break spent in TJ (Tijuana, Mexico, if you don’t know) and wonderful, exotic foods and flavors that he tried. Jason barely remembers the trip. They agree that the way to tell if a Mexican restaurant is good is by the amount of English on the menu. Less is better. Taqueria La Carreta â€" a mostly authentic Mexican restaurant â€" has opened in the building on South Tacoma Way that once housed a Korean joint that made incredible humbow. La Carreta’s large point-at-the-picture menus have hardly any English. Whether there is any truth to the boys’ lunacy, you’ll have to visit and see for yourself. 

Read what the boys thought of the joint on the Weekly Volcano Web site.
