"For lunchtime tacos in Santa Monica, the casual La Purépecha is our go-to option. The handmade corn tortillas here are plump and sturdy enough to hold heaping amounts of asada, guacamole, cilantro, and onions—which they do. We prefer to spend a little more and order them taconazo-style, which adds a layer of molten, seared cheese with a satisfying crunch. If you want something a little more substantial, the machaca burritos are very solid, too." - sylvio martins, jess basser sanders
