La Popular

Restaurant · Porter Ranch

"I took multiple trips out to LA’s northern suburbia this past weekend, and the biggest food highlight was these tacos al pastor served at La Popular, a chain of casual but vibey pan-regional Mexican restaurants that opened its first LA location in Porter Ranch (it’s technically in Chatworth, but most folks will consider this modern Whole Foods-anchored strip mall part of Porter Ranch). La Popular hails from Mexico City, which means it does a proper al pastor trompo inside the kitchen with a window offering folks a few of the whirling cone of marinated pork. These tacos aren’t necessarily going to blow away the best ones available on the street, but they are very good — juicy, balanced, not overly marinated, and well-topped. Make sure to order the five-salsa starter so you put more than just the single salsa provided. During happy hour, these four tacos run just $12, which is a bargain considering the suburban strip mall location and lovely indoor ambience." - Eater Staff
