Joel and I got together for lunch today, and we both had a hankering for some Mexican food so we thought we oughtta stop in on one of our local favorites...Super Mex. Super Mex started as this little hole-in-the-wall joint in Long Beach back in the 1970's. They gained a huge local following in their first couple of decades and started expanding. They now have more than a dozen restaurants around the Long Beach area, in Orange County and even in Las Vegas. Thankfully, though, they're still a family-owned operation and haven't morphed into some giant food conglomerate with bland food. Yup, almost 40 years after opening up shop their food is still top-notch. It ain't fancy, but it's yummy.
In fact, one old friend of mine who moved away to Chicago once even had me bring some Super Mex burritos on the plane with me when I went to visit him. Chicago may have Rick Bayless and his gourmet Mexican cuisine, but Long Beach rocks the kick-ass Super Mex grub.
One of my faves is their combo #1, a shredded beef taco, a cheese enchilada and some beans. A lot of locals prefer their burritos, but for me it's all about their shredded beef taco. It's comfort food to the max!
