Esther’s Taco House and Hollywood Blvd.
Today was our first day to made the drive into LA.
We left about 10 am to head to Placentia CA and Esther’s Taco House. Placentia is on the other side of LA from here so it’s about a 100 mile trip, but it’s pretty much Interstate the whole way so it wasn’t too bad.
Before we left the Lancaster area we stopped off at a local Post Office to drop off the taxes, then it was on to Esther’s.
We got there about noon and sat down to a great meal of Chile Rellenos and Enchiladas. We first ate here two years ago, but we’d heard about the place for years from our friends, George and Gina Ellis. And they were right. It’s great. Esther’s has been around in various locations since 1957, and although Esther died in 1994, the two locations are still in the family.
After a great lunch we headed back toward Lancaster, but on the way we took a detour over to Hollywood.
We drove down Hollywood Blvd., pass Grauman’s Chinese Theater and the Walk of Fame, and then up Laurel Canyon Dr., crossing over Mulholland Dr., then down the hill to Studio City to catch the Ventura Fwy. back to I-5 and then on to the Antelope Valley Fwy and home.
But before we got on the Ventura Fwy, we stopped at the Starbucks in a Von’s Supermarket in Studio City, for a bathroom stop and a refill with two Venti Cinnamon dolce Lattes.
Luckily we got out ahead of the going-home traffic and got home about 4 pm.
Tomorrow we’re going back to Hollywood to take the Warner Bros. Studio Tour.
More then…
