Today we're in Santa Barbara checking out Julia Child's favorite taco stand, La Super Rica Taqueria. This Santa Barbara restaurant is known for its fresh homemade tortillas and low prices, and lines usually stretch out the door! The La Super Rica menu includes such specialties as Rajas (sauteed pasilla chiles, onions, tomatillo sauce and melted cheese) and fresh made tamales and salsas. Just remember it's cash only, and lines usually stretch out the door, so it's not the place to come if you're in a hurry!
Please forgive the audio on this — we shot it with our point and shoot camera on a whim!
