Por Que No?


One of my favorite restaurants that I never go to recently opened a second location closer to home, which makes me very happy. I love chain restaurants as long as they are good, local chains. Por Que No? started out on Mississippi Ave. making great tacos and Mexican inspired drinks. The new location on Hawthorne Blvd. is equally funky (if not more so) and a little bigger than the original. They still have the amazing tacos and drinks, but the menu seems to have expanded a little too. We enjoyed the Porque Plate, which is your choice of nine different meats or veggies, rice, beans, salad, salsa, guacamole and three corn tortillas. This is a great choice if you are really hungry, but if not, I would recommend going with a few tacos ala cart. As I said they have nine great choices including carnitas (shredded pork, my favorite), carne asada, pollo (chicken) verde, shrimp, fish and calamari. The chips and salsa and guacamole is also a great starter. Next time we are going add the ceviche.

Por Que No? is open seven days a week from 11 AM to 9:30 PM. Tacos are $.50 off on week days from 3-6 PM and after 3 PM on Tuesday. They use all fresh ingredients and are committed to supporting the local economy.
