"El Chato, a popular taco spot in Mid-Wilshire, is known for its delicious street tacos. However, recent visits reveal that the size of the tacos has noticeably decreased, aligning with a broader trend across Los Angeles taco stands." - Mona Holmes
"This humble parking lot option has been feeding me since my first days in LA more than 15 years ago, and it continues to play the al pastor and asada hits to lines of customers just about every night." - Eater Staff
"El Chato is a neighborhood favorite taco truck, the kind of place where neighbors and anyone just passing by can queue up and wait for delicious al pastor tacos, served with a thick and smoky chipotle salsa. The evening-only truck does draw a crowd, so arrive hungry and be prepared to over-order, rather than waiting in line twice." - Farley Elliott
