It's almost like a Mexican version of...

Feel like tasting Sliders? One of the lunches we had last week in LA was from Slider City. They have 14(!) different types of sliders to choose from on the menu, each named after an American city. You get 3 sliders of your choice and a side of fries for $10. There are 5 different types of fries to choose from...

Since we were in L.A. last week when the Rhong-Tiam Truck hit the street, we asked Roberto B. to head down to the Flatiron District and check it out for us. We think Roberto did a great job.
