Tacos la carreta cannot be beat. I am taking a break from eating carbs so no tortillas but I used the meats and put them on the cucumbers provided and topped them with the salsas. Can’t wait to eat their toritos and chorreadas again on a later date.

Was just here over wkd, tacos la carreta remains in my top 5, the chorreada and agua de cebeda are :ok_hand::ok_hand::ok_hand:

What are the rest of your top 5?

A top 5 is tough, maybe a top 10? No particular order:

Tacos la carreta, mochomitos asador, los cinco puntos, birria y la unica, tamix, el venado, tire shop, sonoratown, birreria san marcos, & asadero chikali.

Could easily make this a top 25-100 list given the sheer breadth of spots and regional cuisine out here in la, but these are what popped in my head first :slight_smile:

Anyone ever been I’ve always wanted to try this one. I know for awhile they weren’t open consistently

Mariscos Jalisco on Olympic. Four shrimp tacos and a bottle of water for ~$14. Consistency here is so high, even between this truck and their outpost on Cienega.

Went looking for some carne asada afterwards – made it as far as Olympic and, like, Los Palos when we saw a sign for handmade tortillas. it was a guisado spot (the ultimate taco filling?).

one chicharron in salsa verde, and one costilla in a tomato-based sauce. tortillas fresh from the comal.

two tacos, a quesadilla, a 500ml of coke was $20.
