Post #4 - August 17th, 2010, 7:44 pmFair enough. I don't usually get carne asada at La Rosita so that would explain it.

Is that the place next to a small mexican market (shares a wall & doorway between)
If so, no way is the Steak better than La Pasadita. I was there about three weeks ago
I had driven by the La Pasadita site to check on progress (nada) and then headed east and had a few carne asada tacos and they were meh if that....

Yes, and like I said, I don't go there for the steak. The other tacos (chicharones, chorizo/egg) I think are excellent.

Post #9 - August 18th, 2010, 11:44 amI spoke to a permit official in Palatine today and she
said that they started to apply for a permit but
did not complete the process.
It does not look like La Pasadita is coming to Palatine
I talked to their would be neighbor and he had a slightly different story that
I could not post here due to the nature of the story....

Post #10 - August 18th, 2010, 7:36 pmI hit LP Express on Elston for average steak tacos the other night. There was no flame taste or carbonization evidencing a flame of any sort. I was in my car and driving when i noticed this calamity. Anyone know if they just flattop cook them at the Elston location.
One more thing - the meat had a funky odor to it. The same odor that deli meat gets when it has been in your fridge for a few days. I don't like that smell. I'm not sure I can bring myself to go back to that location.

Post #11 - August 18th, 2010, 8:03 pmthey grill at elston, but it's possible the meat had been in the bucket too long.

unless they changed things from a month or so back, the meat is flame cooked like the pasaditas on ashland. i haven't had it since then so its possible quality or method has changed. i'd give them another try at lunch or early evening.
