Macho Macho Woman

Is your car dirty? Want to have a decent Mexican lunch while you get a car wash?

Go to Macho Cafe (830 E. Mission Road, San Gabriel) right across from Mission Car Wash.

It's small. It's cheap. It's quick.

The only drawback is that a crazy jukebox blares intermittently.

Aguas frescas -- jamaica, horchata, limonada.

Not much commentary necessary. I mainly go for the convenience and the prices.

    My car is dirty, but the nearest place that washes AND serves food (which kinda creeps me out) isn't too close.

    I love saying "horchata."

    That's all I've got, Macho Macho Woman.

    Ha, waiting at the Mission Car Wash does take a LONG time. I always remember back in the day where we would go basically spend almost two hours waiting at the Mission Car Wash, and enjoy a small ice cream cone while we waited. Should have visited here instead of having the ice cream!

    Car wash lunches rule. But that jukebox is just creepy.

    Mmm, cheap and looks like authentic deliciousness! I only thought you ate at fancy restaurants from all your posts. I always wonder, is it your job to review restaurants?

    I give you a lot of credit for not being a snob about places to try to eat at. That's a very MM meal.
