Super Simple Authentic Hot Link Taco Recipe!

This recipe comes from my dear friend/hairdresser in SF, Amanda Ortega.  Her fathers side of the family is Mexican and this is what they serve for appetizers whenever they all get together. 

Hot Link Tacos

Hot Links

Cilantro

Red onion

Corn tortillas

Cut the hot links in half lengthwise and grill flat side down.  Chop cilantro and red onion and heat tortillas.  Serve one half hot link with cilantro and red onion in tortilla.  Cut in half if you like. 

Slaters 50/50 Burger

Huntington Beach is known as one of the worst cities for dining.  So we always welcome new, tasty, popular restaurants when we finally get them.  This is the case with Slaters 50/50 Burger off Beach and Adams.  This new custom burger (following in the footsteps of The Counter, 25 degrees, etc) joint is delicious!  They are best known for their 50 percent beef 50 percent bacon patty and bacon brownie sundae but their turkey burgers, sweet potato fries, fried pickles, regular fries, milkshakes, sauces, and beer and wine selection are all amazing too!  And, the cool thing is that this restaurant is actually going to make it.  Taking over the doomed Tap House/Flight location, who would have thought that the wait would be 45 minutes at 6 pm on a Sunday??!  And the best part is, they serve until 1:30 am and the bar is open til 2 am. 

Anqi on Tuesdays!

Unfortunately, I have heard from a few sources that Anqi in South Coast Plaza just does not compare to it's mother restaurant Crustacean in Beverly Hills.  I used to love Crustacean and would eat their garlic crab, prawns, and noodles quite frequently.  When Anqi opened, I was so excited but due to bad reviews, I still have not been.  However, Greers OC just passed along some very interesting info......

Every Tuesday at Anqi, they will be serving their famous garlic crab and garlic noodles (this is not normally on their menu)!!  You can have the crab shelled with noodles for $48 and de-shelled with noodles for $53.  I have always opted for the de-shelled version because its a lot less messy.  Of course, the An family suggests always getting the crab in the shell because of tradition and flavor.  I know its a steep price to pay, but I promise you will not be disappointed.  I am so looking forward to going on a Tuesday!
