Los Angeles: More Tacos Next to a Car Wash at La Cañada Taqueria
Barely visible behind Pico Car Wash, just west of the Pico / Western intersection in that nebulous neighborhood (Mid-City East? Koreatown South? Harvard Heights?), sits La Cañada Taqueria. Little more than a cinder block building with a sunny paint job, this hidden taco spot serves up some of the best late-night eats around, no matter what the turf is called.Los Angeles: Am I the Only One Who Doesn't Love King Taco?
When it comes to pure taco nostalgia in Los Angeles, King Taco definitely wears the crown. The regional taco outpost that began in the Glassell Park neighborhood northeast of downtown now sports nearly two dozen locations, a few lunch trucks and a loyal following, mostly among native Angelenos with a fondness for the tacos of their past, even if what King Taco dishes out now hasn't kept up with the times.Los Angeles: Charcoal-Fired Tacos at Casitas Tacos Al Carbon in Burbank
During the cold California winter, where frigid temperatures routinely drop below 65 degrees, one might find it hard to muster up the strength to put together an old-fashioned charcoal fired cookout. Not so at Burbank's Casitas Taco Al Carbon, the L.A. mini-chain specializing in the age-old "al carbon" charcoal grilling methods of Mexico. It's just a shame that the tacos at Casitas aren't all that inspired.Los Angeles: Shrimp Tacos Dorados from the Mariscos Jalisco Truck
Since first parking their truck east of downtown over a decade ago, Mariscos Jalisco has made it a point to keep their lunch-only crowd satisfied, even on Christmas Day. Hailing from Jalisco, the western seaside state south of the border, Raul Ortega and his crew have made seafood their business since day one. Taco lovers should pay special attention to the fried shrimp and avocado tacos de camaron.Los Angeles: Duck Confit and More Taco Fusion at Komida
If the old adage read: "good food served in the center of Hollywood comes to those who wait," it might be attributed to Brock Kleweno, owner of taco hotspot Komida. Located in the bar / patio section of former nightclub H'Wood, Komida is just down the hill from its humble origins at the Yamashiro Farmers Market. His signature taco is the duck confit.Los Angeles: At Yuca's Taco Stand in Los Feliz, Consider the Burrito Instead
It doesn't take long in any Los Angeles taco conversation to wind your way around to Yuca's, the deep-rooted Loz Feliz taco closet situated in a liquor store parking lot. Well, it's the size of a closet anyway, which must make it hard to store all the awards they receive. From the James Beard award (in the "America's Classics" category) to local March Madness-style taco brackets, Yuca's just wins, baby. Though it might be wiser to order the burrito instead of the famous tacos.L.A. Fish Taco Battle: Ricky's Fish Tacos vs. Best Fish Taco in Ensenada
It's good to be Ricky Piña, the fedora'd fish master behind his namesake taco phenomenon. For the better part of a few years, Ricky's Fish Tacos have been serving up Baja-style shrimp and fish taco offerings to anyone willing to make the drive out to Silver Lake. But just up the street, the Los Feliz location of Best Fish Taco in Ensenada has been providing locals with fresh fried fish tacos, battered and splattered right before their very eyes. So which is superior?Los Angeles: Malo's Beef and Pickle Tacos Dorados
These days, finding an inventive new taco in Los Angeles is as simple as turning a corner. Or, if you're heading east on Sunset Boulevard, all it takes is edging your car around the bend and into the northern reaches of the perennially-hip Silver Lake neighborhood. At popular upscale taqueria Malo, the fried Tacos Dorados are not only unique, they're also delicious.Los Angeles: Tito's Tacos, a Nostalgic Hard-Shell Taco Stand in Culver City
Tito's Tacos, the eponymous taco takeaway stand with the catchy late-night jingle, is a place for all manner of youthful taco nostalgia. Looming in the shadow of the 405 on Washington Place in Culver City, Tito's has a longstanding tradition of serving up the tacos that you and I may recall fondly from our childhood. It's just that, well, some things are better left to memory.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
