LAX Tacos - Inglewood on Arbor Vitae (just E of the 405)

I got kicked in the face playing soccer on Sunday, so I spent much of the next few days going from doctor office to doctor office in the Inglewood area. Where to eat? Why, why not try LAX Tacos? I've never been, but it is somewhat well-known. Surely a visit was in order.
With my brother driving me around because of my broken nose and "suborbital blowout fracture", what better medicine?
Two carnitas, two asada, and two birria (goat) for kickers. The horchata was terrific. There's not much for ambience here. The order window at an average taco truck has more charm than this one, and the service was short and a bit rude. The outdoor seating area was clean and very inviting on this lovely day. We dug in.
The goat was a bit, well, goaty. The asada was a bit, well, heat-lampish (sitting there a while?), and the carnitas was merely OK. My brother liked them all just fine. It was supposed to be $1.45/taco but we somehow paid less than that. The tortillas were a bit, well, dried out, and not steamy-delicious like they should have been. They have a nice condiment bar, but no salsa choices.
That being said, I would go there again. After all, they have the added convenience of a DRIVE-THRU!
