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.

"Man, this one bite, like halfway through the burrito, beans just like, jumped out at me. It was so cool." Thus is the magic of the
3D Burrito, developed by a former NASA engineer who wanted to make his burrito more interactive. It's a scientific breakthrough that'll have people talking for decades to come. Or days.

There are burritos, and then there are
California Burritos. The San Diego staple is not trying to be authentic Mexican cuisine—it's basically meat and potatoes stuffed into a flour tortilla for hungry, sand-crusted surfers. The beast of a thing usually involves carne asada, french fries, a bunch of cheese, salsa fresca and of course guacamole.
