About La Regia Taqueria

Lengua. Tripas. Sopes, gorditas, tortas, a California Burrito, plus vegetarian and seafood sections — fourteen menu categories now, and they arrived in that order. Tacos first. Burritos and quesadillas after, then vegetarian and seafood. The truck that started it is still in the family, rented out for events and parties rather than parked anywhere you can find it, which is why directories filing this place under food trucks are working from a category it left behind. The restaurant and grocery occupy separately licensed doors at 436 and 438 Highway 1 West. This is highway frontage; plan on driving, and call for current hours before making the trip.
