We rarely eat Mexican food locally unless it’s tacos at Don Rogue’s. For Mexican we recommend going to the town of La Superica, a short 15 minute drive from our home. Here you’ll find La Superica Taqueria, the best mexican restaurant in California! The only written menu in California is inside the binder. Study the menu on the way to the restaurant, as you’ll only have a minute to view the chalkboard menu before ordering at the window. The rice, beans and daily specials are especially tasty!
