"Between the whacks of meat cleavers and wafts of mesquite smoke blowing in your face, even just standing in line at this South LA taco stand feels fun after a long day. The roadside operation stays open until midnight every night except Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Get some well-seasoned asada with tingly salsa roja and the tacos arabes served on plate-sized flour tortillas that are soft and chewy." - brant cox, arden shore, nikko duren, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
