Rico Tejuino Los Reyes

The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: May 19 | Eater LA

"A Lincoln Heights tejuino shop better known for mangoneadas, smoothies, and ice cream where simple sliced-fruit bowls shine on hot days: sliced watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumber, jicama, and coconut piled high into a plastic bowl, finished with a squeeze of lime and a heavy dusting of chile powder. The watermelon and coconut stand out for the reviewer: the melon is ideally sweet without being soft, while the coconut adds a pleasant texture contrast and a light tropical flavor. Bowls can be customized with Tajin, extra chile, chamoy, or extra fruit like mango; pick one up and head to a nearby park, as seating is limited. — Rebecca Roland, editor, Southern California/Southwest" - Eater Staff
