Let's make it fiery instead -- been pluckin' at my memory all night.

There's a joint in Oxnard right next to the train and bus station at the end of Fourth Avenue that can make up a good-sized burrito all the way from mild (and usually a little greasy -- this part of town doesn't do low-fat) to steam-jets-from-both-ears-even-if-you're-Mexican, named La Gloria. It's a multifaceted agglomeration of businesses that's mostly (by area) a grocery, but the second largest bit is a sort of buffet area with the back wall a panaderia with the traditional glass cases, trays and tongs with which you grab your choices of rolls and pastries. The flan there is good, too; only one or two other places in town can beat it.

I'm in fine agreement with you this time UG. Taco Bell is as representative of Mexican food as a turtle is of transportation.

Mike came up with Taco bell. Only my 2nd time. I ask if he didn't watch the news? I had Quiznos in mind because of add for Smokehouse Beef Brisket.
But it was across town.

No no no! Tangerines are similar in appearance but taste completely different. More specifically, they taste like ass, whereas mandarin oranges do not.

UG. Around Oxnard, is there a fruit stand beside one of the Hwys. that looks like a giant Artichoke?

Personally I would stay away from Taco Bell for an entirely different reason

I love mandarin oranges / clementines.

But they're usually too expensive for me, so I usually go without until my mother visits and buys a box. Thanks mom!

I like the boxes that Clemintines come in - that's about it. I'd rather eat an orange. The best kind of oranges are Cara Cara Oranges. I had them once and they were so good.
