CR-
Yep - Peace and Loaf is doing the "winters" thing, right...Yeah, I can see the SUF would
be a taste of home, similar perhaps to "Cheers" bar in that old TV Show...With Peace
and Loaf only operating half the year, it gives folks time to build up an appetite for their
yummy goods...Pelon's tacos at the top of town...best carne asada in TS, would you agree?

Haven't tried Pelon's tacos yet ... and am not quite sure where they are ... is the top of town the La Paz direction or is it that group of stands at
the end of town going toward Pscadero??

Pelon is the owner's name and its the top of town near the municipalidad and the
touristy white shopping building...Top of town, dead center of town, just up from the
hotel California by 1.5 blocks...Don't know the name of the taco stand..IMHO Pelon has the Best Carne
asada tacos in TS...Barajas stuffed potatoes at night...But neither of these locations
would be your "cheers" bar meet up spot whence this thread was started regarding
sadness over SUF's being in close down mode...

You are correct, their tacos are very good...maybe because they never clean their grill, as I have been told. I don't eat there a lot as their dirt
parking lot entry is directly beside the tables. Most times a car enters they spin their tires on the up hill ramp and the dirt covers you and your
food.
Edit: so as not to get confused this is the one across the street from CFE

Al G-
Yeah, lovely tacos, tortas and all of that...I remembered the name of the place-
Its Chilakos Tacos...
In regards to the "polvo" problem...not a problem - they have a palo d' arco wind
break that keeps the dust out of the grill area...
In regards to the grill not being washed, I cannot comment but I haven't ever
experienced any "issues" with their food and in fact, the carne is fresh, hot and yummy
and the cabbage, cebollas, y tomates son muy frescos tambien...
The young lady who is the main helper is not a member of Pelon's family and she is
wonderfully hard on the outside and difficult to make smile...but then if you chat with
her and get to know her, she lets her guard down a little and may give you a smile
as you pay for your tacos...I have a challenge for you Al G - eat a taco or torta there,
inspect it for dust, drink a yummy orange juice - they sell the fresh stuff - and have a
nice convo with the gal there and see if you can make her smile...if you should take the
chilakos tacos challenge i have set forth, get back to us nomads and let us know about your
experience but be honest cuz i guarantee you won't find dust in your tacos...that said, making
the girl smile is a matter of your own personal charm, wit and ability to placticar en espanol...
good luck
