Is Mexican food good for you?
Just found this article on Yahoo! News about how the capsaicin found in jalapeno peppers may cause prostate cancer cells to "commit suicide:"Chili's Heat Kills Prostate Cancer Cells
Shortly after that I found this article by Rick Bayless, who runs two Mexican restaurants in Chicago, about how he stays lean and fit even though he's eating all the time and even though much of what he is eating is Mexican food. I can relate to a lot of what he says, especially the part about watching Gilligan's Island re-runs.

Rubio's Update
Went to the Rubio's at Harvard and Main in Irvine for lunch and got their featured crispy shrimp taco platter and added a carnitas street taco. Noticed they still have Vanilla Coke there even though it is no longer available on store shelves so if you like Vanilla Coke keep in mind it may be at a Rubio's near you.

Hi Christian - I've eaten so much capsaicin, that I should live forever, right???? Of course I'm also taking no chances and eating as much garlic as I can get, as well......
So happy to have come across your site. The Taco Mesa you are looking for is on Crown Valley, in the Albertsons' parking lot (corner) - right across the bridge leading into Ladera from the 5 fwy.
Other suggestions - Los Golderndias - new location at Alica and Jeranimo (behind AM/PM). And our cheap favorite - Albertacos on Margaruite across from the Lexus Dealer, next to Starbucks.
Kirk,
Here's to capsaicin and garlic!
anonymous,
Thanks for the directions and the suggestions. Sounds like you know the area well. Definitely going to try to make it Taco Mesa, Los Golderndias, and Albertacos. Also, if you ever feel like submitting a review, don't be shy.
