Alejandra's Quesadilla Cart de Oaxaca

The 15 Best Oaxacan Restaurants In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"The hand-pressed quesadillas at Alejandra’s Quesadilla Cart are a major upgrade from the late-night ones we make at home in our underwear. The cart’s owner, Alejandra, has been operating her Echo Park stand for nearly 20 years, and you’ll still find her rolling out long, oval-shaped blue tortillas on her hot griddle from Friday to Monday. The whole process is muscle memory as she simultaneously stretches out fresh masa and mentally jots down your order. Besides the essential Oaxacan cheese, fillings include softened chicharron stewed with salsa roja, huitlacoche cooked with epazote, and leafy fresh squash blossoms." - sylvio martins
