They are cheaper than a vacation package, arrive faster than the actual flight and can instantly teleport you to the desired little Baja hut and/or Cantina of your wildest dreams.
I stumbled upon Ricky's not by accident, and anyone who has been will tell you why. They are close to impossible to find if you don't know what you're looking for. Ricky's is well hidden in the parking lot behind a beauty salon in Silverlake. Blue tarps and rickety chairs and tables make up this faux-restaurant. The food speaks for itself and as you're enjoying your meal you find you've completely forgotten that just behind the wrought iron gates is a busy, noisy street and your table setting consist of plastic cups, forks and Styrofoam plate.
Until experiencing Ricky's I was a fan of Baja Fresh fish tacos and of course Poquito Mas; I still enjoy these places as well but they have now become my second and third choice when you just can't make it to Ricky's.
Who said you couldn't take a mini beach vacay during your lunchtime? I'm planning one today! :-)
