Los Angeles: Tacos Arizas in Echo Park For Awesome Chorizo Tacos
Tacos Arizas is a long-standing member of the Echo Park taco tradition. Their trailer idles nightly just off Sunset Blvd., alongside the Walgreens on otherwise forgettable Logan Street. If you're not already familiar with the location, feel free to let your wandering stomach and a multi-colored neon sign guide you. The chorizo is the best choice on an already satisfying taco line-up.Los Angeles: We Really Love the El Chato Taco Truck
El Chato is arguably one of the most popular taco spots west of the LA River, nightly churning out hundreds of orders for cheesy quesadillas, meaty burritos and small Jalisco-style tacos with a ton of flavor. They consistently execute on a level that most other guys can't shake a spatula at. It's taco truck nirvana.Los Angeles: Tacos La Fonda Truck in North Hollywood
There, behind the steamy pane of glass, is a stoic woman with wrists the size of tree trunks making all of the night's tortillas by hand. While not uncommon at many brick-and-mortar taquerias around town, such a sight is a rarity inside the city's trucks.Los Angeles Taco Trucks: El Matador vs. Tacos Mi Teresita
Since time immemorial, two taco trucks have parked in front of the dimly lit auto body shop at Western and Lexington. Two competing trucks, not 20 feet from one another, with no plenty of other real estate around and no other trucks in sight. Granted, the neighborhood seems more than happy to oblige them both, and flashy bar LA Descarga down the street certainly offers up a nice influx of late night eaters. But... two?!Los Angeles: Taco Zone Truck in Echo Park, You Can Do Better
Taco Zone is one of Los Angeles' most beloved late night taco trucks, having successfully weathered the flood of gourmet fusion trucks that continue to zip around town (although, with the tide receding, some are beginning to look for any brick-and-mortar in a storm). In fact, it almost feels like Taco Zone has been there forever, quietly serving a wide selection of meats while the Echo Park neighborhood around them changes.New Haven: Who Has The Best Tacos on Long Wharf?
I've been past New Haven on I-95 for near-on three decades now, slowly watching the collection of food trucks grow and grow until it finally reached full-on convoy size. While you'll find a Puerto Rican truck serving some pretty decent lechon and a few trucks specializing in tortas and pinchos, most of the trucks here are hardcore Mexican taco trucks. On our recent road trip up to New Haven, we decided to order a couple tacos from every single one so we could lead you, Serious Eaters, along the path of righteousness should you ever find yourself in the area.Los Angeles: El Pique Truck for $1.25 Tacos in a Car Wash Parking Lot
Parked not half a block from La Estrella, one of Highland Park's most venerable taco trucks, El Pique has had to scrap and fight for every $1.25 taco sale. Luckily, there are a few options (including the cabeza tacos) on the menu to throw your spare change at, should the line at La Estrella bend past the curve of tolerability.Los Angeles Tacos: La Estrella Truck for Delicious Carnitas and Asada
Though the truck is on the east side of Los Angeles, it has not succumbed to the "into it before it was cool" movement. I've been coming to La Estrella's truck since I first moved to Los Angeles four years ago, and they were parked in the same spot long before that. There was a line to order before I got there; there'll be one when I leave. This is why.A Look at the Inaugural Los Angeles Vendy Awards
The first Los Angeles Vendy Awards were held at MacArthur Park on Saturday. With the well-noted catering truck trend still going full throttle in Los Angeles, the event, which started in New York City six years ago, migrated west to honor both the new kids on the scene and the old-school vendors alike. The judges—including Evan Klieman (host of Good Food on KCRW) and Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo of (of Animal)—certainly had a hard task in front of them. How does one decide if a short rib grilled cheese sandwich is better or worse than a bacon wrapped hot-dog? I mean, really! How?
