It’s Taco Tuesday! That means it’s time for the Long Beach Post’s Jake Gotta to try another local taco spot on Side Bites and give you the Hi-lo-down. This time, it’s Taqueria La Mexicana on Fourth Street and Coronado Avenue for some of the best asada in the city.

Taqueria La Mexicana offers carne asada, pollo asada, lengua and al pastor you can enjoy cradled in a soft corn tortilla, wrapped in a burrito, or sandwiched with cheese in a quesadilla with all the fixings you can count on at a traditional Mexican eatery. If you want to try it out for yourself, remember to bring cash.

Have a favorite item on the menu or an idea for the spot Gotta should try out next, leave a comment on the video above.
