Hope you guys enjoy this one! Not the traditional low and slow BBQ you are used to, but it's a great story and the food was incredible! Huge shout out to Josue, Michael and Alvaro for having me and making sure I was full everyday we shot. Can't wait to come back again soon!<br><br>Are you guys interested in stories that are not specifically BBQ? It's not BBQ season 24/7, so in the offseason, would you guys like to see more types of food? (Burgers, Pizza, Japanese, Michelin Star restaurants, etc.) Let me know in this comment thread! <br><br>Also, Thank you Helix Sleep for sponsoring!

Anytime we are in LA, we head to this location. I get the pizza everytime and take more then half back to the hotel. Food is on point everytime. The story just adds to it.

These are some of the best tacos around. I’m so glad they opened up the Santa Ana location, it’s 5 minutes from my house.

This guy stands for the new American dream.<br><br>No matter how stacked up the game is against you, you keep your head down and go after that pipe dream. One day, maybe, just maybe, you'll get there. You'll be tired and aching but you'll be there.

Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦…I know of Tacos Lo Cholos by watching Mexi Papa’s videos, I love the story behind the achievement, so inspiring.

I've been going to their Anaheim location for a long time and they finally opened one up in Ontario so it's super close. Honestly, the food is amazing but respect to the dudes working those grills out in that sun during summer. I don't know how much they're getting paid but they deserve more.
