"Cacao is a Northeast LA staple for margaritas, $5 beers at Happy Hour, and inventive tacos you won’t find anywhere else in this taco town. Their signature is the beloved duck carnitas taco: a mouthful of sweet, fatty poultry that melts into its blue corn tortilla. You also can’t go wrong with the Ensenada fish with its tennis ball-sized hunk of fried fish and the crispy guisado de pato that’s a mix of duck crackling and nopal stewed in a savory chile arbol salsa." - brant cox, sylvio martins
