The 17 Most Fun Dinner Spots In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Eating at Evil Cooks is like riding a coaster at Six Flags three times in a row: a head rush and maybe not something you’d share with your sweet grandparents. This heavy metal-themed taquería in El Sereno blasts Megadeath as you eat tender lengua tacos next to a fountain of fake blood, or blackened octopus smothered in a smoky salsa near a locked door that leads to Satan’s Lair. It’s all a bit on the nose in a fun, campy way, which is why we love it. Plus, Evil Cook’s sit-down dinner menu is unlike anything else in LA, with dishes such as pork rib wellington topped with candy floss and lemongrass-y tom yum shrimp aguachile that burns like the ninth circle of hell." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
