The Most Classic Restaurants In Los Angeles

"The combination of beans, cheese, and tortilla is a humble thing—but somehow this well-worn stand in Boyle Heights takes that trifecta to a whole other level. Al & Bea’s is a family-owned East LA staple with a loyal fan base that spans from Boomers to the TikTok generation. They serve a variety of Mexican American throwbacks like taquitos and guacamole cheese fries, but most everyone hones in on their purist's bean and cheese, filled with refried pintos that are gloriously flavored with lard and shredded orange cheese that liquefies against the molten beans. Always get the green salsa. Bean and cheese burrito with green sauce, Orange Bang" - brant cox, cathy park, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
