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.

  11. 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!
