The 38 Best Tacos in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"In the ebb and flow of carnitas stands along the Mercado Olympic (which occupies parts of the street in a Downtown area known as the Piñata District), one woman has found success over decades. A line of diverse customers comes to the bustling street food hub just for Guadalupe Baez’s pork confit tacos. Baez makes supple, caramel-colored cuts like nana (uterus), trompa (snout), orejas (pig ears), buche (hog maw), and racks of ribs. Baez, whose charm is part of her taquería’s popularity, began her carnitas business during the pandemic, and three booming stands later, she’s planning to open a brick-and-mortar restaurant." - Bill Esparza
