Bad Ass Street Tacos Now Open at New Location in Thousand Oaks

Bad Ass Street Tacos, which has operated out of the Thousand Oaks Meat Locker location for over five years, recently relocated to the space formerly occupied by Dayne's Chicago Beef and Dawgs at 2951 E. Thousand Oaks Boulevard (next to Jiffy Lube). Bad Ass is known for highly "legit" street tacos - carne asada, chicken, pastor, lengua and more.

Visit www.facebook.com/BadassTacos for more information.

Dayne's originally opened at this location on August 24, 2013. According to a comment from the owner on its Facebook page, they are looking to reopen at a new location in the coming months. This is a good thing because I've heard from native Chicagoans that their pizza, which I never tried, was unbelievably good.
