With an hour and a half to kill between surgeries at Peninsula hospital today, I decided to expand my Milbrae Mexican food horizons beyond the black hole of a Taco Bell that always seemed to drag me in to its drive thru whenever I ventured too close. After a mighty struggle to break free of the T-Bell's gravitational pull, I succeeded in continuing North on El Camino, deeper into uncharted taco territory then ever before. My persistence was rewarded when, in less than a mile, I stumbled upon Las Palomas taqueria. Hidden next to a Dominos pizza on the sixteen hundred block of El Camino, a passer by might never guess that this unassuming restaurant hides some extremely tasty food. The standard order of two pollo asado tacos with guacamole arrived piping hot, with tender CORN tortillas, delicious chicken (you can tell a good tacqueria when the grilled chicken is mostly dark thigh meat), and a great authentic touch of onions and cilantro sprinkled on top. Served on a white plastic plate with just the right amount of chips to scoop up the taco fillings that I couldn't keep in the shell long enough to get in my mouth, these were definitely two very satisfying afternoon treats.
