That looks like some good ceviche I love it when a little fruit is added.
If being a Cart Narc was a real job I would love to work at that Home Depot and eat ceviche for lunch everyday

Ha! I live like around the corner from that Home Depot for the time being and the food vendor game there is strong. That Ceviche lady isn’t always in the Handicapped spot. She started in the periphery, guess she’s getting more comfortable…
With Corea’s not that far away, it would not have occurred to me to even try her stuff… but we did try the Carnitas folks recently. They are there on Thursday through Saturday mornings, right under the overpass.
They make the carnitas there, as well as Chicharon. They gave me a bit to sample and it was SO GOOD. Their bags are a modest size too, so perfect thing to pick up. If you like Keto Krunchies, highly recommend.
They use locally made tortillas, and stuff their tacos full of meat. Very good.
We also ordered a burrito which was HUGE.
They mainly have shoulder, but also do some mean cueritos. They also sell by the lbs which we will for sure get next time. We are so close to where we can pick up some Kernel of Truth Masa (or Maisena Masa Harina) that we’ll make our tortillas next time.

HA! There is also that Tamale guy at the Long Beach Home Depot….
This particular Home Depot though, seems to have more vendors that usual.
But since we are on the topic of Breakfast Burritos…. We had El Huarachito’s famous breakfast burrito and it was awesome.
Lots of Chorizo. Super good beans. This reminded me of the burritos my mom would make before a trip to Disneyland. It would keep us full pretty much the whole day…
We also got one of their breakfast plates… It was huge… specially on these giant Hillstone plates… LOL! This was their Nopales with Egg. The eggs were cooked perfect….
Comes with tortillas that are hand made! Will be back….

It’s good! Started as a pop-up in the dude’s uncle’s carniceria, right down the street from Benny Boy in Lincoln Heights. Now they’ve got their own space by County Hospital, and they’re at smorg.
Ceviches and fish tacos are very solid, and their Mariscos Jalisco-style fried shrimp tacos are almost as good as MJ.

The Ceviche and Carnitas came from the Cypress Park Home Depot.
There is also an asada guy, tamale guy, hot dog tent….

It’s a veritable food market!
Looks like there’s a new falafel spot coming to cypress park.

Soft opened last weekend, open for good this weekend I think. Didn’t make it last weekend but I’ve always enjoyed the pop-ups! Falafel is great, as are the vegan takes on other dishes like lentil arayes and cauliflower shawarma.

Thanks for posting this, been to El Huarachito so many times and have never ordered their chorizo burrito. Been on the hunt for chorizo and eggs ever since Ciro’s closed, they had my favorite in the city.
Spent some time at Capri Club the other night. Dishes (tuna crudo, arancini, cacio e pepe suppli, fried polenta sticks) are small but filling and come out pretty fast. Amidst all the fried stuff, all of which were a little short on flavor, the crudo with its fat capers was my favorite. Drinks center on amari, which I don’t care for but will continue to try on occasion in an attempt to understand all the fernet/campari-heads out there. A mezcal-rabarbaro short drink was served warm and I found it 100% gross.

Served warm sounds gross to me too, but in general give me all the bitter herbaceous anise menthol nasty shit haha.
Which is to say, I like the cocktail perspective at Capri (bitter frozen slushy drinks!), tho wow that scene can be a little much.

I got a frozen drink which included beets and yuzu - A Healthy Dose of Fun or something like that. Good for one round though I found it too sweet the second time around. After the sugariness of the frozen cocktails and the 1800s cough syrup taste of the amaro drinks, it was a real relief to just get a pilsner. The bar was very wild and loud at 5:00 but calmed down once the sun set. Packed for sure yet relatively chill at 7:00/8:00 PM. The comparatively large portion of polenta sticks (there were like 12 of them) came with the smallest possible side of pesto lol. Like thimble sized.

Update - La Guera have upped their game recently with tortillas hecho a mano, as well as quesadillas with fresh masa that are stupid good.

Got a juice at Jugos Azteca. Noticed they have breakfast tacos/burritos. Tortas now have chilaquiles and chile rellenos (separate but I guess you can get both!)
As always the juices are great! Would come here more often if I lived in the NELA.
Huarache!

Definitely an upgrade. Did a bang bang with Juquilita then La Guera. Still prefer the pastor at Juquilita, though pastor is not my thing. Definitely like both over Angel’s. Haven’t been to Leo recently. The suadero is better at La Guera though, as are the tortillas now.
