It&#8217;s true: as was <a href=\"http:\/\/midnightridazz.com\/forums.php?topicId=2839\" target=\"_blank\">correctly noted<\/a> on some thread, I am not very objective.  Take for example this next post, it&#8217;s totally biased, subjective, and uncritical. Why? Because even though I haven&#8217;t been back to Tio Pepe since I was a young mocoso, I went there today with the express purpose of liking my HR dish, no matter what. And as my life coach always tells me &#8220;take the time to develop and envision your dreams, then all your pendejo ideas will come true.&#8221; I took a deep breath, got in the HR zone, and made the magic happen.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chanfles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/hr_tiopepe2.jpg\" alt=\"hr_tiopepe2.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Chips and two salsas to chose from, am I on the right track or what? Though the green one was interesting and super tart, I preferred the red salsa. I used to come here quite regularly with my &#8216;apa to eat burritos de chile colorado, but it&#8217;s been a really long time since I&#8217;ve been back, luckily the layout is still the same. And the service is just as friendly and chatty as I remember it; the server was telling me that he thinks this hot weather is peculiar and how it might be the reason for his sore throat. I appreciated the attempt at conversation; after so many tables served you&#8217;d think he would be utterly jaded.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chanfles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/hr_tiopepe3.jpg\" alt=\"hr_tiopepe3.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They did add some festive plastico picado to the place. It was lonely this Saturday afternoon, just a few regulars sitting at the counter. That&#8217;s where we used to sit.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chanfles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/hr_tiopepe4.jpg\" alt=\"hr_tiopepe4.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Y los huevos? Hardly any sauce on the eggs, unusually thick cuts of bell pepper, lardy beans, one egg was perfect while the other was over cooked, no crisp tortilla-just oil dipped. But like I told you, my mind was set and I loved it. If you happen to have fond childhood memories of this place, of the good people you used to share a meal with but have now moved on to other lives, than you might like it just as much as I did. An objective person will likely enjoy the meal as well, but a bit of subjectivity might enhance the experience. That&#8217;s just what I think.<\/p>\n<p>Tio Pepe  323.264.6453<br \/>\n3578 E. 8th St.<br \/>\nLA, CA 90023<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I admit it.
