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!

Beyond Your Wildest Dreams: Embracing the Extraordinary Plans God Has for You

Image
From A Sermon by James W Greer Time to Dream | Why Don’t You Dream?   (Romans 8:31, NKJV; Romans 8:37, NKJV; Jeremiah 1:7-8, TEV) Your dreams may be troubled, but God’s dreams for you are paramount, and they are good (Jeremiah 29:11, NIV). God’s dreams for your life are far greater than your own. They are not just bigger; they are exceedingly, abundantly more than you can think, dream, or even imagine (Ephesians 3:20, NKJV). God is going before you, arranging all the necessary circumstances for your dreams to come to fruition (Isaiah 45:2-3, TEV). When God gives you a dream, He takes responsibility for opening the right doors and creating the right circumstances (Revelation 3:8, NKJV). All you need to do is your part and then allow God to do His (Hebrews 4:3, NKJV; Hebrews 6:17, NCV).

A Pivotal Day in 1776: George Washington and John Adams Confront Challenges of a New Nation

Image
On this day in 1776, the nascent United States was at a critical juncture, marked by urgent military concerns and intense political pressures. George Washington found himself amid two pressing emergencies that would shape the course of the American Revolution. In New York, the threat of British forces loomed large, and Washington was determined to bolster his ranks. Recognizing the need for adequate weaponry, he penned a letter to Major General Artemas Ward in Boston, urgently requesting the transport of 200 carbines, in addition to the 300 he had already ordered. This call for reinforcements underscored not just Washington's commitment to the fight for independence, but also the precarious situation faced by Continental forces as they prepared for a potential confrontation.

Change is Inevitable! Here’s How to Embrace It and Rediscover Your Joy Today! | Random Ramblings

Image
  By Tina Martin So this morning I heard…. “You can’t hold on to faith and fear at the same time.” Then I heard a story about stress and depression, and anxiety being rooted in the fear of what we can’t control. This afternoon, I listened to a man talk about how the most powerful thing he learned from the story of Noah and the Ark was the fact that the Ark didn’t have a steering wheel of any kind... I do believe somebody is trying to tell me something!!! Trust. The Journey.

Think America Isn't Great? From Fast Food to Friendly Faces: Discover Why We Should Appreciate America More!

Image
Written By Ken Hulsey As our country's 250th birthday approaches, I thought that it would be interesting to put a few things into perspective. First, being old enough to have experienced our great nation's 200th birthday celebration back in 1976, I am somewhat surprised at small number of celebrations across the country. Back in 76, there was a certain sense of excitement about our nations bicentenial. Patriotic themed events and imagery were everywhere. There was a train containing our national treasures, like the Declaration of Independence and the Liberty Bell, touring the country so that every American would have a chance to see them. There was a fleet of tall (sailed) ships touring port cities. Overall, there was a sense of national pride that permeated everything. It was a truly magical time for our country.

Remembering the Magic of M.E. Moses: A Journey Back to the Heart of Main Street, Vernon

Image
One of my favorite stores from the past was the M.E. Moses Five and Dime Store on Main Street in Vernon, Texas . For those of you who are too young to remember, a "Five and Dime" store was an old-fashioned discount store where most items cost around five or ten cents. Of course, you would have to travel way back in time to find those kinds of bargains—much further back than my memories from the mid-1970s. Back then, the only thing you could buy for a dime was a piece of hard candy. A comic book cost thirty cents, and a gallon of gas was sixty cents. To put this into perspective, today a comic book is about four dollars, and depending on where you are in the country, gasoline can range from two to four dollars a gallon.

A Journey Through Louisiana's Rich History: Exploring the Historic Plaquemine Lock State Historic Site

Image
 Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey One of my favorite places here in Louisiana is the Plaquemine Lock State Historic Site. Every opportunity I get to enjoy this location, I take full advantage of it. In a state that sadly doesn't normally take the time to preserve historic places, the fact that the town of Plaquemine and the state of Louisiana actually took the time and spent the money to keep up this amazing location is nothing short of amazing.
