Taquería Frontera’s New Shop Fires Up Tijuana-Style Tacos in Silver Lake | Eater LA

"The original Cypress Park shop, which debuted in 2024 and remains steadily busy, is the foundation of JC Guerra’s operation, earning positive write-ups from the Los Angeles Times and L.A. Taco, plus a glowing New York Times review that spurred 30- to 40-minute waits and drew everyone from overseas tourists fresh off an Uber to visitors from Ventura. The draw is in the craft: corn tortillas made in-house with El Grano de Oro masa imported weekly from Tijuana; a massive, diner-visible trompo that gives the al pastor its signature smokiness and char; and a broad lineup featuring asada chorizo, birria, and lengua served as tortas, burritos, mulitas, quesadillas, vampiros, or quesotacos." - Mona Holmes
