"There are several reasons to spending time at this iconic butcher/grocer/deli in Boyle Heights. The chicharron taco is one of the best in the city, their flaky tortillas are worth braving I-5 rush hour traffic, and if you need to round out your at-home feast, there’s a fully stocked market on the premises, too. Just don’t forget about their tamales. Varieties include beef in red sauce and chicken in green sauce, but it’s the pork (a house specialty) that takes the cake for us—half a dozen for $16.99, a dozen for $30." - brant cox, sylvio martins
