Don’t sleep on Taco Miendo! That place has the best Adobado in town. I don’t see it get the love it deserves.

While a LBC man myself, and though Taqueria #2 on 4th is good, I have to say El Antojito on Figueroa and 168th in Gardena.

Yuca’s cochinita pibil is probably my favorite taco in Los Angeles. Yes, we at TACO know there are many better places than the some of the ones we’ve gotten to, if we had more time to devote we’d be there and will eventually, but we just kind of cover things when we happen to be in the right place at the right time. Also, given the recent crackdown on taco trucks throughout our country, I’ve personally been a little hesitant to shine the light on trucks and their positions…but yeah, as far as restaurants I know, we need to highlight Ciro’s flautas, El Tepayac, King Taco, Birrieria Jalisco, Chichen Itza, Guelaguetza, Baja Ensenada, La Playita, Juquila, La Azteca just to get started on LA eats.

La Talpa is pretty dope, especially compared to the crush of DOn Antonios, the food is way better with a similar vibe…West LA Oaxacan is the shit, La Flama, Monte Alban, Las Ferias, Taco Plus, Juquila…jest to name a few…
