You can complain about how Tacolicious on Valencia Street is ruining the flavor of the hood and gentrifying the fuck out of the place all you want, but just be grateful that we don’t have an Urban Taco Fabricator like they do in LA.
Yet.

CANT WAIT FOR THE 23RD/VALENCIA LOT TO TURN INTO MOMOFUKU MILK BAR
In b4 someone from LA talking about how great Urban Taco Fabricator is.
I live nearby, it’s pretty lame… reclaimed wood, michelada popsicle beers, $8 lobster tacos, etc.
El Siete Mares is a couple doors down if you want some no bullshit LA tacos: http://www.seriouseats.com/images/2012/07/070812-213786-El-Siete-Mares-full-taco-tray.jpg
Diablo U.T.F.? Reeeallly???? Everybody knows Tinga is the best spot in L.A. for grubbing on unauthentic Latin American cuisine in a pretentious, yet delightfully twee, setting.
Eh, get to East Los sometime….
My bad, late on the electronic sarcasm…
How about one of you crackers go inside to Tacolicous and tell the 20+ Latinos who worked there that the restaurant is gentrifying “your” neighborhood, and see what they have to say about it.
Good reply, Doktor. I LOVE Tacolicous and try to visit at least once per week! Great bartenders, incredible tacos and drinks.
Haha. Are hipsters ‘the ultimate gentrifiers across cities’ really complaining about gentrification?
Gentrification is any improvement that happens in the neighborhood after I move in.
“their”, not “your”
But, yeah.
Tacoliscious is the griz.
No part of that makes sense.
U wot m8?

The Mission is hella over dude.
i think the neon wayfarers, ipod DJs, endless messenger bags full of apple products, and 73rd generation coattail riding leeches who contribute nothing to the neighborhood have gentrified the mission enough as it is. i’m all for places like this coming to a neighborhood that has been long since been Ikea’d to shit. bring on the awful tacos! continue with unintentionally hilarious posts like this!
