I feel like more and more taquerias in the area are losing quality in their burritos. Many that I go to now are skimping on the meat and adding a lot more filler like lettuce, beans and rice instead of the good stuff like meat, cheese, guacamole, etc.
On top of that the average burrito is now like $13 each which is crazy to me.
Maybe I get burritos too often but dang do I miss when places would absolutely load them up with the good stuff.
I've noticed this as El Favorito, El Forestero, California Burrito, Adalbertos and others.

Is there a Taqueria place here in Sacramento that does grilled shrimp instead of the carne asada in their fries?? Back in my hometown, they would do that and it would be BOMB.
I tried ordering these shrimp fries at El Forestero but they literally just ended up making me coconut shrimp over a basket of fries.

Boy CMLL bungled Homage to 2 Legends when it came to distribution and the main event had one of the worst possible things that could happen without someone dying. I'm going to spoil it in the next paragraph, but really it's a spoiler that will just save you from heartbreak.
So... CMLL didn't tell anyone that the show wouldn't air live or be PPV, until like an hour before showtime. An annoying thing for anyone who was planning to watch it live like me. The good news is, if you wait for this post to watch CMLL's Friday Show... it is now free on Youtube. So go enjoy as some action on the card was great. The main event won't be on this top 5 list, as it wasn't one of the best 5 matches this week. It's as simple as that, Terrible got injured late in the match. The long ending bit that he and Oro were suppose to have didn't happen and Terrible had to just lose quick so he could get his dislocated arm looked at.
Ironically AAA also had a bad main event the next night for their big PPV event as well, I won't go into that, because this is CMLL weekly. So, with the disappointments of this week out of the way, let's get to the highlights instead.

1.Los Guerreros Laguneros(Ultimo Guerrero, Gran Guerrero & Euforia) vs. Caristico, Volador Jr. & Dragon Lee for the CMLL World Trios Championships(Friday)

What felt like the real main event of Homage to 2 Legends. I loved two matches on that card and gave this one the top spot mostly because of gold being on the line. I think it's a bit like other Los Guerreros Laguneros defenses from the last 2 years, but to be fair most Los Guerreros Laguneros matches hit the mark and this one is no different. The ending stretch here too was a rollercoaster of action. Well worth a watch and a good showcase of all 6 men.

2.NGD(Sanson, Cuatrero & Forastero) vs. La Peste Negra(Negro Casas & Barbaro Cavernario) + Gilbert El Boricua(Friday)

Negro Casas returns from rehabbing a leg injury and Gilbert puts in his best performance in CMLL yet. This rudos vs. rudos match delivered even beyond the expectations I had of it being a very good match. NGD show why they are some of the best guys on the roster. Really this and #1 are basically interchangeable to me. This really should be 1A and 1B for me. Because I can see anyone liking either more then the other. As said, I gave this #2 simply because the #1 match had titles on the line.

3. Barbaro, Dragon Lee & Mistico vs. Volador Jr., Ephesto & Mephisto(Monday)

Puebla's main event was a great treat. CMLL, if you don't know, like to do these strange alignment swapping matches. Here rudo Barbaro teamed with tecnicos Mistico/Dragon Lee while on the other side we have tecnico Volador Jr. with rudos Mephisto/Ephesto in what was a really fun match. Love seeing Barbaro act more tecnico and likewise Volador Jr. pal around with being a rudo. In hindsight it's a little silly to put Volador vs. Dragon Lee/Mistico and wish him being rudo here was used more in their title match Friday Night, but in a bubble this was great fun and made Puebla a show worth checking out this week, Puebla was actually pretty solid. Speaking of which...

4.Templario, Bestia del Ring & El Terrible vs. Atlantis, Niebla Roja & Angel de Oro(Monday)

Sadly, the better Bestia del Ring/Terrible vs. Niebla Roja/Angel de Oro match of the week. I thought this match did a great job of building up what was meant to be the epic blow off between these two teams, even if it also included Atlantis/Templario.

5.Hechicero, Kawato San & Felino vs. Stuka Jr., Audaz & Atlantis(Tuesday)

The sole match worth checking out from Tuesday night, another chapter in the unending Hechicero/Stuka Jr. feud. Not that I'm complaining, but it does really feel like CMLL could separate these two. It's becoming the new Panther Bros. vs. Puma/Tiger in CMLL. Which too is a feud I liked, but one it feels like CMLL would have never ended, had Puma not left the company.

Not Homage to 2 Legends Highlights

House sitting and couldn't make an imgur album on this house's wifi, so no gifs from this show.
Did you watch CMLL this week?
Overall a fun week, with some good highlights. Homage to 2 Legends was still plenty of fun despite the disappointment in the main event and the disappointment and annoyance of not being able to watch it live. I'd certainly check out the top 5 and even more so the top 2. Both of which will likely make my top 100 list for 2019. That's not the greatest endorsement, but is something. No reason not to check it out, since it is afterall free on Youtube.
Homage to 2 Legends isn't over just yet though, as Arena Puebla will be running it's own version of the titular event, so let's get to this week's cards!

Monday Homage to 2 Legends Arena Puebla Poster

Sonic/Rey Samuray/Astro vs. Police Man/Fuerza Chicana/Sombra Diabolika, like most CMLL openers, this would be the best match to skip on the card. Though since this is a special event, all 6 guys will probably bring their A game, despite being the opening act.
Star Black/Tigre Rojo Jr./King Jaguar vs. Raziel/Cancerbero/El Perverso, should be good. Star Black holds the Occidente Heavyweight Title, which is sorta like a CMLL developmental belt. It doesn't mean much, other than CMLL has some hopes for this kid. AFAIK this is his first time on CMLL TV, so expect him to try to make a great first impression.
Furthermore this this Estrella Blancas' Homage to 2 Legends, in honor of him and Salvador Lutteroth, CMLL founder who is always honored on these shows. So, Star Black sorta/kinda debuting on a show for a guy named White Star, likely isn't a coincidence. Don't be surprised if in a year everyone is talking about him. (Much like Audaz/Templario were near nobodies in 2017, but were both pushed hard in 2018)
El Audaz/Stigma/Drone vs. Templario/Felino/Tiger should be tons of fun. Really enjoy all 6 men and the rudo team is really up my alley.
Angel de Oro/Niebla Roja/Valiente vs. Terrible/Bestia del Ring/Barbaro Cavernario. Well, Terrible dislocated his arm Friday. So expect a replacement for him, probably Rush/Mr. Niebla/Negro Casasa, but you never know. Terrible could show up too, his injury might not be so bad as to keep him out of action here.
La Park/Volador Jr./El Hijo de La Park vs. Ultimo Guerrero/Gran Guerrero/Euforia, this should be tons of fun and honestly blow Arena Mexico's H2L main event out of the water. Last time Park was in Puebla he had a month long program vs. Rush right after Anniversary. With Los Guerreros Laguneros still being Trios Champions, don't be surprised if this leads to a rubber title match the following week.

Arena Mexico Tuesday New Values Poster

Fantasy/Angelito vs. Mercurio/Peq Olimpico, hate to be so dismissive of the more proportionally sized minis' but CMLL is, so why not? I'm likely going to skip this.
Magnus/Robin/Star Black vs. Nitro/Disturbio/Hijo del Signo, again Star Black appears. 2 nights in a row on TV after years off it. I doubt this is a coincidence again, so as said, keep an eye out for this kid. I'm likely going to watch it just for him, but I like Disturbio too.
Blue Panther Jr./Guerrero Maya Jr./Black Panther vs. Misterioso/Sagrado/Tiger, I was pretty luke warm on a similar match last week and might be here too. Like seeing the panther brothers together though and they end to get better when together.
Blue PantheKraneo/Volcano vs. Bestia del Ring/Hechicero/Kawato San, could be a pretty fun match. Bestia might slow it down some, but these aren't the fastest tecnicos in the world anyways. I'm imagining Bestia will be teased for his hair, or lack thereof.
Mistico/Atlantis/Valiente vs. Negro Casas/Templario/Rey Bucanero, should be fun and this may be the first time Negro has teamed with Templario, but I could be wrong. Negro Casas may look to start a feud here with any of the 3 tecnicos, hopefully Mistico.
Mephisto(c) vs. Dragon Lee for the CMLL World Welterweight Title, a win here would make Dragon Lee a double champion as he also holds the Lightweight title. I'm not 100% certain, but IIRC the last person to hold double (singles) gold in CMLL was either La Sombra or Mascara Dorada, hopefully if Lee follows in their footsteps he'll stop short of going to WWE. Though of all of the CMLL roster, one would assume Dragon Lee is the one WWE is eyeing the most. Hopefully this match can top Mephisto/Dragon Lee from last year.

Arena Mexico Super Friday Poster

Star Jr./Stigma vs. Grako/Coyote, should be an excellent opener. I'm a big fan of all 4 men.
Marcela/Kaho Kobayashi/Mystique vs. Dalys/Amapola/Reyna Isis, should be pretty fun. Nice to see Kaho on TV again, she is on tour, but you'd be forgiven for forgetting. She did say on informa that this tour has no set end date, so to be fair CMLL might just be trying no to burn out the fanbase on her.
Stuka Jr./FlyeAudaz vs. Polvora/Vangellys/Kawato San, should be good, but this rudo team might not be able to keep up.
Barbaro vs. Forastero lightning match, should be a fun rudo vs. rudo brawl. If Forestero wins it would be an easy gateway to a title match vs. Barbaro, but I don't see him winning.
Angel de Oro/Niebla Roja/Titán vs. Mr. Niebla/Terrible/Bestia del Ring, again Terrible might still be out of commission. If so expect Rush/Negro Casas in his place.
Caristico/Volador Jr./Diamante Azul vs. Ultimo Guerrero, Euforia & Gran Guerrero, I don't know why Valiente isn't in VoladoCaristico's spot. Seeing as he and Azul have the tag titles, but whatever. Should be fun, but a bit of a waste not switching up the tecnico team more. As this is what we got at Homage to 2 Legends, but Lee out for Azul, which doesn't seem like an even trade at all. Could be a surprise banger though as Los Guerreros Laguneros always bring their A game as a team.
Hope You enjoyed CMLL this week, see you next week!

Magnus/Robin/Star Black vs. Nitro/Disturbio/Hijo del Signo, again Star Black appears. 2 nights in a row on TV after years off it. I doubt this is a coincidence again, so as said, keep an eye out for this kid. I'm likely going to watch it just for him, but I like Disturbio too.
Blue Panther Jr./Guerrero Maya Jr./Black Panther vs. Misterioso/Sagrado/Tiger, I was pretty luke warm on a similar match last week and might be here too. Like seeing the panther brothers together though and they end to get better when together.
Blue PantheKraneo/Volcano vs. Bestia del Ring/Hechicero/Kawato San, could be a pretty fun match. Bestia might slow it down some, but these aren't the fastest tecnicos in the world anyways. I'm imagining Bestia will be teased for his hair, or lack thereof.
Mistico/Atlantis/Valiente vs. Negro Casas/Templario/Rey Bucanero, should be fun and this may be the first time Negro has teamed with Templario, but I could be wrong. Negro Casas may look to start a feud here with any of the 3 tecnicos, hopefully Mistico.
Mephisto(c) vs. Dragon Lee for the CMLL World Welterweight Title, a win here would make Dragon Lee a double champion as he also holds the Lightweight title. I'm not 100% certain, but IIRC the last person to hold double (singles) gold in CMLL was either La Sombra or Mascara Dorada, hopefully if Lee follows in their footsteps he'll stop short of going to WWE. Though of all of the CMLL roster, one would assume Dragon Lee is the one WWE is eyeing the most. Hopefully this match can top Mephisto/Dragon Lee from last year.

Star Jr./Stigma vs. Grako/Coyote, should be an excellent opener. I'm a big fan of all 4 men.
Marcela/Kaho Kobayashi/Mystique vs. Dalys/Amapola/Reyna Isis, should be pretty fun. Nice to see Kaho on TV again, she is on tour, but you'd be forgiven for forgetting. She did say on informa that this tour has no set end date, so to be fair CMLL might just be trying no to burn out the fanbase on her.
Stuka Jr./FlyeAudaz vs. Polvora/Vangellys/Kawato San, should be good, but this rudo team might not be able to keep up.
Barbaro vs. Forastero lightning match, should be a fun rudo vs. rudo brawl. If Forestero wins it would be an easy gateway to a title match vs. Barbaro, but I don't see him winning.
Angel de Oro/Niebla Roja/Titán vs. Mr. Niebla/Terrible/Bestia del Ring, again Terrible might still be out of commission. If so expect Rush/Negro Casas in his place.
Caristico/Volador Jr./Diamante Azul vs. Ultimo Guerrero, Euforia & Gran Guerrero, I don't know why Valiente isn't in VoladoCaristico's spot. Seeing as he and Azul have the tag titles, but whatever. Should be fun, but a bit of a waste not switching up the tecnico team more. As this is what we got at Homage to 2 Legends, but Lee out for Azul, which doesn't seem like an even trade at all. Could be a surprise banger though as Los Guerreros Laguneros always bring their A game as a team.
Hope You enjoyed CMLL this week, see you next week!

Boy CMLL bungled Homage to 2 Legends when it came to distribution and the main event had one of the worst possible things that could happen without someone dying. I'm going to spoil it in the next paragraph, but really it's a spoiler that will just save you from heartbreak.
So... CMLL didn't tell anyone that the show wouldn't air live or be PPV, until like an hour before showtime. An annoying thing for anyone who was planning to watch it live like me. The good news is, if you wait for this post to watch CMLL's Friday Show... it is now free on Youtube. So go enjoy as some action on the card was great. The main event won't be on this top 5 list, as it wasn't one of the best 5 matches this week. It's as simple as that, Terrible got injured late in the match. The long ending bit that he and Oro were suppose to have didn't happen and Terrible had to just lose quick so he could get his dislocated arm looked at.
Ironically AAA also had a bad main event the next night for their big PPV event as well, I won't go into that, because this is CMLL weekly. So, with the disappointments of this week out of the way, let's get to the highlights instead.

1.Los Guerreros Laguneros(Ultimo Guerrero, Gran Guerrero & Euforia) vs. Caristico, Volador Jr. & Dragon Lee for the CMLL World Trios Championships(Friday)

What felt like the real main event of Homage to 2 Legends. I loved two matches on that card and gave this one the top spot mostly because of gold being on the line. I think it's a bit like other Los Guerreros Laguneros defenses from the last 2 years, but to be fair most Los Guerreros Laguneros matches hit the mark and this one is no different. The ending stretch here too was a rollercoaster of action. Well worth a watch and a good showcase of all 6 men.

2.NGD(Sanson, Cuatrero & Forastero) vs. La Peste Negra(Negro Casas & Barbaro Cavernario) + Gilbert El Boricua(Friday)

Negro Casas returns from rehabbing a leg injury and Gilbert puts in his best performance in CMLL yet. This rudos vs. rudos match delivered even beyond the expectations I had of it being a very good match. NGD show why they are some of the best guys on the roster. Really this and #1 are basically interchangeable to me. This really should be 1A and 1B for me. Because I can see anyone liking either more then the other. As said, I gave this #2 simply because the #1 match had titles on the line.

3. Barbaro, Dragon Lee & Mistico vs. Volador Jr., Ephesto & Mephisto(Monday)

Puebla's main event was a great treat. CMLL, if you don't know, like to do these strange alignment swapping matches. Here rudo Barbaro teamed with tecnicos Mistico/Dragon Lee while on the other side we have tecnico Volador Jr. with rudos Mephisto/Ephesto in what was a really fun match. Love seeing Barbaro act more tecnico and likewise Volador Jr. pal around with being a rudo. In hindsight it's a little silly to put Volador vs. Dragon Lee/Mistico and wish him being rudo here was used more in their title match Friday Night, but in a bubble this was great fun and made Puebla a show worth checking out this week, Puebla was actually pretty solid. Speaking of which...

4.Templario, Bestia del Ring & El Terrible vs. Atlantis, Niebla Roja & Angel de Oro(Monday)

Sadly, the better Bestia del Ring/Terrible vs. Niebla Roja/Angel de Oro match of the week. I thought this match did a great job of building up what was meant to be the epic blow off between these two teams, even if it also included Atlantis/Templario.

5.Hechicero, Kawato San & Felino vs. Stuka Jr., Audaz & Atlantis(Tuesday)

The sole match worth checking out from Tuesday night, another chapter in the unending Hechicero/Stuka Jr. feud. Not that I'm complaining, but it does really feel like CMLL could separate these two. It's becoming the new Panther Bros. vs. Puma/Tiger in CMLL. Which too is a feud I liked, but one it feels like CMLL would have never ended, had Puma not left the company.

Not Homage to 2 Legends Highlights

House sitting and couldn't make an imgur album on this house's wifi, so no gifs from this show.
Did you watch CMLL this week?
Overall a fun week, with some good highlights. Homage to 2 Legends was still plenty of fun despite the disappointment in the main event and the disappointment and annoyance of not being able to watch it live. I'd certainly check out the top 5 and even more so the top 2. Both of which will likely make my top 100 list for 2019. That's not the greatest endorsement, but is something. No reason not to check it out, since it is afterall free on Youtube.
Homage to 2 Legends isn't over just yet though, as Arena Puebla will be running it's own version of the titular event, so let's get to this week's cards!

Monday Homage to 2 Legends Arena Puebla Poster

Sonic/Rey Samuray/Astro vs. Police Man/Fuerza Chicana/Sombra Diabolika, like most CMLL openers, this would be the best match to skip on the card. Though since this is a special event, all 6 guys will probably bring their A game, despite being the opening act.
Star Black/Tigre Rojo Jr./King Jaguar vs. Raziel/Cancerbero/El Perverso, should be good. Star Black holds the Occidente Heavyweight Title, which is sorta like a CMLL developmental belt. It doesn't mean much, other than CMLL has some hopes for this kid. AFAIK this is his first time on CMLL TV, so expect him to try to make a great first impression.
Furthermore this this Estrella Blancas' Homage to 2 Legends, in honor of him and Salvador Lutteroth, CMLL founder who is always honored on these shows. So, Star Black sorta/kinda debuting on a show for a guy named White Star, likely isn't a coincidence. Don't be surprised if in a year everyone is talking about him. (Much like Audaz/Templario were near nobodies in 2017, but were both pushed hard in 2018)
El Audaz/Stigma/Drone vs. Templario/Felino/Tiger should be tons of fun. Really enjoy all 6 men and the rudo team is really up my alley.
Angel de Oro/Niebla Roja/Valiente vs. Terrible/Bestia del Ring/Barbaro Cavernario. Well, Terrible dislocated his arm Friday. So expect a replacement for him, probably Rush/Mr. Niebla/Negro Casasa, but you never know. Terrible could show up too, his injury might not be so bad as to keep him out of action here.
La Park/Volador Jr./El Hijo de La Park vs. Ultimo Guerrero/Gran Guerrero/Euforia, this should be tons of fun and honestly blow Arena Mexico's H2L main event out of the water. Last time Park was in Puebla he had a month long program vs. Rush right after Anniversary. With Los Guerreros Laguneros still being Trios Champions, don't be surprised if this leads to a rubber title match the following week.

Hope You enjoyed CMLL this week, see you next week!

These shows dont often have a live thread but i thought id make one for this. A title match between Cuatrero and Angel de Oro which, if its anything like their mask v mask match earlier this year, is bound to be great. And then we have more Rush and L.A. Park madness.

I have to admit, I'm the same way. yesterday we were driving around running errands and I was incredibly hungry, but trying not to buy fast food (we past El Forestero's, Chipotle, various chinese foods) but I haven't had Popeye's in month's and screeched into the parking lot assuring him if we were wasting our money on anything, it would be this.
Two bites into his sammich, and he tells me "I don't think I can eat any other chicken ever again"
Shameless promotion time: have you taken a friend to a restaurant only for them to secure your views that it's the best place ever?
I expect lots of in n out posts.
