Best Dishes Eater LA Editors Ate This Week: April 28 | Eater LA

"A roving Salvadoran food truck with a standalone shop in Montebello’s BLVD MRKT food hall, it popped up at the Los Angeles Times’ Festival of Books, offering some of its greatest hits. While the pupusas are often the main draw, the crispy shrimp and potato tacos — served with just-acidic-enough salsa roja and allspice-flecked rice and beans — demanded full attention: the crunch is as good as it gets for crispy tacos, and they mercifully didn’t fall apart with a robust bite. Inside, pillowy mashed potatoes rest under seasoned grilled shrimp; the whole taco gets dusted in powdery, salty cotija. Somehow, eating them on a patch of lawn at the University of Southern California became a near-euphoric experience. — Nicole Adlman, cities manager" - Eater Staff
