The taco shops sit less than a mile apart (though PC’s has spots in Marina and Monterey too), enjoy very similar rolled tacos, identical green and red salsas and menus with a lot of overlap. They also boast special burritos longer than your forearm. Papa C’s is an inch longer, Balde’s a few ounces heavier but both are spectacles to behold. The reason for all the common Mexican territory: the respective owners of each are brothers.
