The 19 Best Mexican Restaurants In Los Angeles

"For being a tiny spot that shares a wall with a convenience store and recycling center, Birrieria Apatzingan whips up an impressive roster of dishes. The Pacoima restaurant has a huge menu that includes crackly tacos dorados, huge bowls of crimson red menudo, and a Michaocan specialty called morisqueta: fatty, cartlidge-y pork ribs coated in a spicy tomato sauce and cotija cheese over beans and rice. And whatever you do, save room for the exceptional goat birria en caldo that’s one of our favorites in town. Cash only. " - sylvio martins, brant cox, garrett snyder
