La Victoria Taqueria — restaurant review — California
Thank God this place has their infamous orange sauce because their burritos taste like garbage. And I don’t mean a euphemism for bad food, I actually mean garbage like someone dumpster-dove for the tomatoes and lettuce and left ‘em in mayonnaise out in the sun (I saw that taqueria caveat piece on the news; I know how some restaurants cut costs). But oh yes, the addictive orange sauce is one of those enigmas that is probably better left a mystery. It’s creamy, it’s spicy, that’s all I need to know. Actually, ironically, there’s a good chance that the orange sauce is mayo that’s been left out in the sun. Besides the sauce, the major appeal of this place is that it is open late and although smaller than other bay area burritos, it fills you up. Also, not many mainstream places serve beef tongue, so hats off to La Vic’s.
