"Great tacos are to LA what samples are to Costco. Without them, we wouldn’t feel at home. And few places make us feel more at home than Los Cinco Puntos in Boyle Heights. Step inside and you'll see rainbow-colored piñatas hanging from the ceiling as lunch crowds stroll around this multi-generational deli meets corner market. Unless you're here ordering dried chiles or Powerball tickets, head to the counter and load up. Their famed carnitas are impressive, but it’s the crackling chicharrón taco on a housemade corn tortilla with nopales salad and guac that always steals our heart.
