"LA loves a local hero. Currently, it’s Armen Martirosyan. His newest venture MidEast Tacos is a feast for those looking to try burritos, quesadillas, and tacos with a Mexican Middle Eastern twist. His grandmother’s Egyptian falafel recipe is outstanding but the meats are Martirosyan’s expertise. Just like his other restaurant Mini Kabob, Martirosyan uses an Armenian shish kebab barbecue called a khorovat for the flavorful chicken, steak, and shrimp. Three tacos should satisfy as a meal, but the burritos or quesadillas will likely yield leftovers. Be generous with the housemade salsas — the pico de gallo, rojo, and avocado salsas swing more traditionally Mexican, while the toum arbol made with garlic and chiles is pure LA. Though outdoor tables are available, one can easily enjoy tacos in the car." - Eater Staff
