The Best Dishes Eater LA Editors Ate This Year, Mapped

"Muelle 8 has one of the best origin stories of 2023. After a pandemic-induced lull around concert tours, music industry veterans Orlando Loya and Bruce Soto shifted gears and brought some outstanding mariscos to Los Angeles. The Downey restaurant requires gathering a solid group of diners to order as much as possible, but not when it comes to the taco gaxiola with marinated tuna, guacamole, and smoky bandera sauce on a flour tortilla. It’s worth keeping this taco to oneself at this incredible Sinaloense restaurant. — Mona Holmes, reporter" - Eater Staff
