Savor the Spice of Life: Taco Treat's Burritos and Homemade Hot Sauce Will Change Your Game!

When it comes to finding great eateries in California, there’s one golden rule: never judge a restaurant by its appearance! You’ll often discover that the hidden gems—those unassuming hole-in-the-wall spots—serve up the best food around. Just think about it: if a place has been thriving in the same location for decades, you can bet they’ve mastered their recipes. Take Taco Treat in Arcadia, California, for example. From the outside, it may not look like much, but trust me, it’s a food lover’s paradise.

This family-owned taco stand has been delighting taste buds since 1969, though the tiny building itself dates back to 1953. Just a quick glance at its design and you might wonder if it used to be an ice cream shop or something similar—its charm is undeniable. Now, I have to be honest with you: while the name suggests tacos, I’ve actually never tried one from here! I know, I know, it sounds a bit wild, but hear me out.

Taco Treat has earned its local fame for something quite different: its incredible fried burritos! And let me tell you, these aren’t just any burritos; they come in two mouthwatering varieties—bean and cheese, or beef and cheese. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with either. Each bite is like taking a delicious journey straight to Mexican Food Heaven.

And the experience doesn’t stop there! Taco Treat sweetens the deal with their homemade hot sauce, served in little plastic cups. Just add a splash to each bite to elevate your meal to a whole new level of flavor. Trust me, whether you’re looking for comfort food or an unforgettable culinary adventure, Taco Treat is a must-visit destination in Arcadia. Grab a friend, head over, and get ready to savor every delicious morsel!

Railroading in the South - Trains Up and Down the Pelican State | Ken Hulsey Photographer

I recently rediscovered my passion for railroad photography and have been making the most of every opportunity during my travels to capture photos of the trains I encounter. I enjoy getting creative, framing interesting images that truly convey the spirit and excitement of being a railfan. Over the past two days, my travels have taken me across Louisiana, from Opelousas to Bunkie, then to Lecompte, and finally to Gibsland. There, I spent my lunch break watching the CPKC maneuver two local freights with impressive skill. I observed these trains pulling forward and backing into various sidings before continuing on their routes—the first headed east, while the second dropped off a long set of cars for the Louisiana & Northwestern. On Monday, I visited Opelousas in hopes of soliciting some work from the Acadiana Railroad for my company. I was also curious about the fate of the old locomotives that used to be stored at their headquarters. The staff informed me that they had been moved t...

Uncovering Calico Ghost Town: A Journey to California’s Silver Mining Past | Ken Hulsey Photographer

If you have ever traveled from Los Angeles to Las Vegas via the I-15 freeway, you have probably noticed the name "Calico" formed out of white rocks atop a mountain just outside of Barstow. If you were curious enough to detour off the highway for an hour or so to discover what those rocks were all about, you would uncover an otherworldly site that was once a silver mining town. The structures here range from traditional Western dwellings to others built directly into the rocky hills, which would look just as much at home on Mars as they do in the California desert.

April 6th 1917: How America’s Declaration of War Changed the Course of History

A Turning Point in History: America's Entry into World War I On April 6, 1917, a critical moment unfolded in the annals of history as the United States formally entered World War I.

Eternal Hope in a Fragile World: How the Resurrection Redefines Our Existence

The Power of Belief: Understanding the Resurrection of Jesus Christ At the heart of Christian theology lies the profound significance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
