    Tacos El Ostion ~ Union & Washington Blvd. ~ Pico-Union

    This truck is bomb...been going here for quite a while now. It's on the corner of Union and Washington Blvd. They serve asada, pastor, lengua, chorizo, cabeza and tripitas. The taco al pastor is good (pictured)...maybe some of the best I've had. The lengua is awesome. The jalapenos are hot and spicy...and of course I always go for the salsa roja which is pretty intense. The milder sauces (avocado and green) are not really spicy or flavorful enough and are just OK. I haven't been there since the new law but there are no eateries around it so I'm sure it's still there.
