Henry's Tacos, on the corner of Moorpark and Tujunga, served its last taco over the weekend (at least in that location). Despite being one of LA's best-known taco stands, beloved by Tony Danza, championed by Elijah Wood, and with a killer sign, economic realities proved to be the greater force. The stand hopes to relocate somewhere else in the Valley.

Photographer Luke Gattuso beautifully documented Henry's last hours on his Flickr, a selection of his images are included above and below for your enjoyment.
