Alejandra's Quesadilla Cart de Oaxaca

Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: June 10 | Eater LA

"I’ve long considered Alejandra’s quesadilla cart an Echo Park fixture: under a rainbow umbrella she presses Oaxacan blue corn masa into thick tortillas, grills them to a gentle char, flips them deftly, and stuffs them with fillings like pollo, huitlacoche, and chicharron before melting the cheese and plating with a choice of salsas, cilantro, and onions. Every bite is excellent—the tortilla thick and chewy, the huitlacoche deeply earthy, the cheese adding pleasant fattiness, and the salsas bringing a sharp heat at the end. Note she only sets up Friday through Monday, roughly 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m." - Eater Staff
