The 38 Essential Tacos to Try in Los Angeles
"It is well documented in Mexico that burritos are tacos (tacos de harina, or tacos norteños) and since 1972, Manuela and Adeline Portillo’s East LA burrito stand has been a local favorite. Inside the classic ‘50s-era burger stand, now run by grandson John Anthony, Mexican Americans queue up for LA-style combo burritos packed with refried beans, melted cheese, beef, and either a mild green salsa or a spicy red salsa. It all gets folded together inside of a large flour tortilla warmed on a steel top." - Bill Esparza
