    I never really liked Tito’s Tacos but just can’t stop going there to eat. It’s a LA tradition that just can’t be beat.

    Tito’s and Johnnies pastrami’s bring back so many memories. I worked down the street from Johnnies and Tito’s in 1972 and could buy a sandwich for lunch for about $2.50 back then. Tito’s used to be right on the corner back then. Thanks for the memories.

    Love it when you guys hit the L.A. classics! A showdown between Tito’s and Tom’s Tacos in Torrance would be fun. (BTW - Tom’s is a great alternative when you don’t want to drive to Culver City for Tito’s.) I look forward to your videos every week!

    We live in Westchester, 10 minutes from Johnnie's and Tito's and we eat at both places. When I called my wife in to watch this video. About 10 minutes into the review of Johnnie's she got up and left, she had already be cooking dinner, and said I want a Johnnie's pastrami. You're torturing me. I was born in WLA and have been going to both places forever. We introduced out daughters to both places. Our girls got to pick their birthday dinner and Johnnie's was always where we ended up. I don't care how long the lines are at Tito's, but when I have a craving for Tito's, I'll endure the wait. Thanks again for a great review.

    • @billandlisa
      @billandlisa  Před 2 lety

      LOL!! When that craving hits for either Johnnie's Pastrami or Tito's Tacos, it's drop everything and let's go!

    I love chicken feet! I lived in China for a year many years ago. I learned to like them there. Well, I don’t eat meat now, but my memories of chicken feet are the best. I loved seeing these three places! Thank you!

    You guys killed me with the Tito's taco's part. Since January I've had to make some lifestyle changes for health reasons, so no refined sugars or carbs, which means no tortillas, and I love Mexican food. The tortillas for tacos and burritos are really the only thing I miss. On positive side, my bloodwork came back much better. lol. Hope you guys are taking care of yourselves too.

    Added these 3 spots to my Bill & Lisa Approved List on Maps! Will come in handy when I go back to my Lakers games! Tito's burrito reminds me of El Burrito's Burritos in Redlands (formerly Colton), been eating those since I was a kid in the 'shop at Fedco' days! I still hear the Tito's Tacos jingle in my head!🤣

    Toms tacos used to be Tito’s second location in Anaheim, but the business was purchased by another owner and the name was changed to Toms Tacos and the owner stayed in Anaheim for a while and then moved to Torrance and the food is the same. It’s just as delicious as Tito’s still so, yes still great. The rice though is a little different but still really good at toms tacos. 😄

    • @billandlisa
      @billandlisa  Před rokem +1

      Yes, we've heard about Tom's, will have to check them out one day.

  • @kayosgramma7344

    Tito’s and Johnnie’s!!! (Used to live a block away from there!) Tito’s salsa is so amazing. My family picks up extra chips and salsa to bring home. Their food is so, so good! Haven’t been to Johnnie’s in a while. They put so much pastrami on the sandwich that I like to take some of the meat out and make another sandwich at home! Onion rings and pickles are the best! We see family monthly in that area and after watching your video, we have to go for pastrami or tacos next time we visit! Thanks for sharing!

  • @oliviansoldestchild

    Thanks for hitting Tito's Tacos- our favorite. Please do a Tom's Tacos comparison- nice to have another place to go too, esp since we are usually in Torrance for our stays in LA. Never tried Johnnie's since we get sidelined by Tito's= will DEFINITELY try on our next trip- mouth watering after watching your "dips and pour"! Also adding CBS- long time since we've gone to LA Chinatown...

    Lived in LA for 16 years and never made it to Johnnie's Pastrami! I'm soooo sad. That sandwich looked epic. I've got my list of places to go to when I make it back to CA one day and this place is definitely on the list with exactly what you had to eat. Can't wait! Miss tacos as well. Hawaii is slowly getting some better Taco places, but can't beat the variety that CA has. Another great episode.

  • @sherryt94
    @sherryt94 Před 2 lety +1

    From a Chinese person point of view, do not go eat dim sum within the first two - three hours that they open. So, if they open at 800am, don't go eat there until 10am or 11am. From my experiences, they (most places) serve leftover dim sum from the day before.
    If you would like to eat dim sum that early in the morning, order jook or something they must make fresh. Usually, the chef doesn't start working til 1030am, so everything that is served before 1030am is leftover stuff. I had many many experiences of eating "a day old dim sum".

    Haven't been to Johnnies in probably 15 years but the place looks the same. Johnnies and Titos have not changed but BOY those prices have gone up! Tom's is extremely similar to Tito's. It's so similar I don't think you would notice a difference.

    Hey Bill! What's a "dead blowing hammer"?? 😆😆😆 That's how you described the Tito's Tacos burrito (at about the 21:30 mark). Love LOVE that place and Johnnie's. Good to know that CBS opens early! I'm not sure Lisa's "pro tip" at Johnnie's worked all that well 🤔🤔🤔 You know you can get your sandwiches dipped right? Mahalo for continuing to give props to these classic LA joints!

    • @billandlisa

    Hi Bill! Hi Lisa!!
    Oh yesssssss!!! Nothing beats Johnnie’s Pastrami!! I’m so not that soggy Pastrami girl. Johnnie’s has never disappointed me…..and their pickles and the hot mustard mixed into ketchup is amazing! Tito’s Tacos! You are in my old stomping grounds. We were always at either place, beginning back in the 80s. The dim sum looked delicious as well!
    Have you ever tried the original ‘Feast From the East,’ Chinese Chicken Salad place in Westwood? The owner (Suzanne Toji)-creator of the ‘Feast from the East,’ salad dressing that you can find at Costco, is super nice. Another one of my old stomping grounds from the 80’s. Thank you taking me down memory lane! Take care!
