Taco Maria may be new but it amazes

November 11, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

I went to SoCo Farmers Market over the weekend and saw a gourmet food truck I’d never tried before. I had heard great things about Taco Maria so after walking around and weighing our options, we ended up back here and decided to give them a try. Gourmet ingredients are incorporated into “traditional” Mexican fare […]

Bruxie — wonderful and wacky

About Me

This blog is a journal of mostly my eating adventures, but also, other things I'm passionate about, including travel, the arts, and also, necessities to complete my life. Centered predominantly in and around Orange County, CA, some will extend to Los Angeles, San Diego and beyond. I am constantly searching for delicious food to eat and fun things to do, nothing is out of bounds. Sometimes it doesn't end well, but I can definitely say, it will always be an interesting journey.
