There’s a new restaurant opening by our house, replacing the former Campos Tacos on Washington. When I first saw this sign, I was like, “Dang, that’s scanless!” …but now I wonder, is pinches that bad of a word? Is this the same as naming a restaurant Fuckin’ Burgers? Either way, hope their pinches tacos esten buenos.
Update: No need for alarm. After some consultation with some amigos mexicanos, it seems that pinche is just one of those words that can be used lightly; something along the lines of damn (although on their website they do quote it as “f******* tacos”). I’ve also discovered that this restaurant is part of a chain. Still, I hope they’re good.
Update May 28, 2010: Turns out the word pinche has an even more interesting connotation/meaning that isn’t even discussed on their own website. But you’ll have to visit them to find that out. 
We finally ate there, by the way. Not bad. Fresh ingredients, succulent meat, and zesty salsa. A little on the pricey side. This place definitely has a larger wave of gringos crossing the border than paisas. I give them 3 out of 5 stars.
Update March 13, 2011: We haven’t eaten at Pinches Tacos since maybe August of 2010. As good as their food is, their prices are just a little steep. If I’m in the mood for mexican food—like, a Carne Asada burrito, for example—I wouldn’t pay $7.95 for one at Pinches Tacos if I know I can get a good fat one at somewhere like Angelica’s Cemitas Originales taco truck on Venice Blvd./Clarington Ave. for about half the price.

Ayayay these paisas, what will they think of next? Is this the one you said I would appreciate?
We have to go when it opens. I’m interested to see how they name the rest of their menu… ^_~
*hugs&kisses*
The rest of their menu? Pinches tacos, pinches burritos, pinches bebidas, tu sabes…pinche mundo
