The 25 Best Tacos In Los Angeles

"There's enough mesquite charcoal smog inside this Huntington Park taqueria to make Smokey Bear lose his ever-loving mind. But all that smoke is the key to Tacos Los Cholos' meats, which are just as good as (if not better than) America's best BBQ. Asada soaks up woody flavor. Beef rib crackles. Lime-marinated ribeye is soft like butter. Of course, the difference between Los Cholos and your favorite BBQ spot is that every slab of beef, pork, and chicken that comes off the asador is mounded onto a chewy tortilla with bright salsa. All of the above makes Tacos Los Cholos impossible to forget. When out-of-towners insist on trying just one taco when they visit LA, send them here." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder, brant cox, nikko duren
