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!

Discover Gallup, New Mexico: Where Native Culture Meets Route 66 History | A Cross-Country Odyssey

Image
Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey  A great deal of my life has centered around traveling on or living near Route 66. In the early 70s, my family traveled the famed highway at least twice a year, traveling from California to Texas to visit family. For thirteen years, I lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the old highway cuts the city down the middle, and then several years later, I would find myself in Victorville, California, where again Route 66 was once the lifeblood of the town.

The Enchantment of Williams: Why This Arizona Gem Feels Like Home | A Cross-Country Odyssey

Image
Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey It was a warm but comfortable summer night when the little lady and I pulled into the town of Williams, Arizona. Williams has always been one of my favorite destinations because it is the home of the Grand Canyon Railway, which is one of the best tourist railroads in America. I also have a soft spot for Williams because in the early 90s, my car broke down just outside of town, and I ended up being marooned there for almost a week. Despite not having any wheels, I spent my time walking around the town, eating in every single restaurant, watching the trains depart and arrive every day, and basically soaking in the atmosphere. Most people would have been very put out by the whole experience, but to tell the truth, it ended up being one of the best vacations of my life. I guess that in some way, I feel like I actually lived in Williams, if only for a week.
