I love Tex-Mex. In fact, I love Tex-Mex so much, I could probably eat it every day for the rest of my life and die happy. It's probably one of the things I miss most about Texas, and it's quite a challenge to find anything comparable in LA. Hole-in-the-wall Chulada Grill almost measures up, at least in the breakfast department. There's nothing to cure a hangover like a couple of breakfast tacos, and Chulada's breakfast burrito is top notch. I had one just this morning (and yes, a hangover was involved) with potatoes, cheese, black beans, and bacon. Together, it's like a good symphony, but when you dissect the pieces, there is a little room for improvement I suppose. The potatoes were fairly flavorless and I hardly noticed them in the burrito except as filler. I couldn't decide if I liked the bacon or not. It was really thickly cut and in small pieces that were few and far between. It also seemed really fatty, which while that's usually a good thing for the flavor, it was a bit of a turnoff for me today. The best part for me were the refried black beans with cheese perfectly melted into it and wrapped up in a soft tortilla. Chulada does seem a little pricey for what it is, about $7-8 per entree. It's such a hole-in-the-wall you would expect it to be super cheap, but I guess they've got to pay the bills. And if you live in the area, they deliver!
