Hi @ebell,
Ah I see! OK, some ideas…
Mexican Street Food:
- Al Pastor Tacos: Leo’s Tacos (only in the evenings when you see the Trompo (the vertical BBQ spit) out and cooking. (During slow hours, they just cook meat on the flattop grill so it’s not as good.).
1515 S. La Brea Ave.
Los Angeles, CA 90019
- Amazing Carnitas (10 different types!): Villa Moreliana (at Grand Central Market).
317 S. Broadway
Los Angeles, CA 90013
- Creative / Gourmet (Delicious) Tacos Elevated: Guerilla Tacos Truck (varies by day see their website):

The best Lamb and Goat Tacos we’ve had are in a very casual setting (think, pop-up kitchen inside of an auto shop only on Sat and Sun) which might be too hard to find, so maybe next time. 
Lots of other places for great tacos in the Taco Thread:
For Japanese, you might consider:
-
Aburiya Raku: Our favorite Izakaya in the city. Top quality ingredients and execution, fantastic Sake list as well. So good!
Pics and thoughts here. -
Mori Sushi: Arguably the best Sushi in the city, ask to sit in front of Chef-Owner Maru-san for omakase and enjoy.

Shunji: Perhaps more variety and also quite enjoyable for Sushi, ask to sit in front of Shunji-san for a great omakase experience. Pics and thoughts.
-
Inaba: Affordable, excellent Tempura specialist. There is a Tempura Bar (like a Sushi Bar) and you can sit and order by the piece and they will fresh fry it for you per order!
Don’t miss out on the Handmade Soba Noodles as well. Pics and thoughts. -
Kagura: If you love Tonkatsu (Deep Fried Pork Cutlets) and Chicken Katsu (Cutlets), Kagura might be for you. Specialist in all things Katsu.
Pics and thoughts.
Hope this helps!
