The 38 Best Tacos in Los Angeles | Eater LA
"With Poblano roots from Huehuetlan el Grande Puebla and Coatzingo, Puebla — the land where Tijuana taqueros are forged — father-and-son team Don Cuco and Jonathan Rios have crafted one of Los Angeles’s best taco spots. Along with family friend Manuel Mendez, this group excels at making tacos, mulitas, and tostadas topped with tender chunks of well-chopped shoulder-clod steaks. Carved from the trompo outside the canopy is a spiral of tangerine-colored adobada — sweet, lightly marinated pork kissed by the flavors of cinnamon and dried fruit. The tacos come dressed with diced onions, cilantro, mild tomato salsa, and a heaping spoonful of creamy guacamole on a warmed corn tortilla. The family restaurant has three branches and a pair of street stands in East LA and Boyle Heights." - Bill Esparza
