So here is a quick wrap-up of some HR&#8217;s I&#8217;ve had recently that I wanted to mention but have neglected to do so, and before I forget all the details I better just sum it up. Please forgive my drive-by reviews. If you want to follow along, click ahead.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The first pic above is of the HR&#8217;s at La Placita del DF,  (1859 E 1st St 323.780.8232) a great place for pambazos and quesadillas in the DF style. I wrote about the spot for <a href=\"http:\/\/blogging.la\" target=\"_blank\">blogging.la<\/a> but the site is currently being migrated to a new and better service so I&#8217;ll put the link in afterwards. (<a href=\"http:\/\/blogging.la\/archives\/2007\/09\/eastside_101_lupes_la_placita.phtml\" target=\"_blank\">Here it is<\/a>.) I never get to try their HR&#8217;s as they stop breakfast promptly at 11am, but since the normal stuff I get there is so superb, I made a special early trip to try  &#8217;em. They turned out adequate but I was disappointed as I expected something miraculous. Okay tomato sauce with bits of serrano chiles, and they did have a fried tortilla underneath. But I was expecting more.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chanfles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/hr_tila_sign.jpg\" alt=\"hr_tila_sign.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next up is Tila&#8217;s in East Los, near Salazar park. (3909 Whittier Boulevard 323.264.5513) A Chanfles! reader sent me this recommendation via the <a href=\"https:\/\/chanfles.com\/blog\/?page_id=518\" target=\"_blank\">contact me page<\/a>, feel free to submit your own.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chanfles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/hr_tilas_chips.jpg\" alt=\"hr_tilas_chips.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They make some great warm chips!<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"bizPhone\"><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chanfles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/hr_tilas.jpg\" alt=\"hr_tilas.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The beans are quite tasty but they are made with lard. The chiles on top were a nice touch and the sauce was spicy and tasty, but there was no tortilla underneath! Maybe it was an oversight? I plan on going back so I&#8217;ll see what happens then. $4.95 for the plate.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chanfles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/hr_huarachitos.jpg\" alt=\"hr_huarachitos.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chanfles.com\/blog\/?p=24\" target=\"_blank\">El Huarachito<\/a> (3010 1\/2 N. Broadway 323.223.5317) is easily my favorite Mexican restaurant and nothing ever disappoints, though the sauce on these HR&#8217;s seemed almost as an afterthought. But with the side of delicious seasoned papas and tasty beans (manteca?) eating here is always a pleasure. They have so many other options that the HR&#8217;s are rarely my first choice, and lately I&#8217;ve been going for their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/elchavo\/2306559670\/\" target=\"_blank\">tortas de camaron<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These are just my opinions, nothing should stop you from trying these places out for yourselves. Of the three, I suggest you start with Tila&#8217;s, and let me know what you think!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hinted I was going to do this last week but as you can see, I didn&#8217;t.
